I’ve been watching the A220 lately on the tracking apps and I’ve noticed the plane is averaging 28/29 thousand feet cruising altitude while the A320 doing the exact same routes at the same time is going way higher.
Is there any limitations or specs that would explain that?

About the aerodynamic icing, the answer they are looking for is at 500kts, you stop accumulating, but you don’t melt what you have accumulated.

Call Cornwall and calculate the cost of driving up there! It would be a nice experience to do the drive and they are able to get you going quickly and efficiently.

Re: IATRA exam 2019
Relatively easy exam to do. You can use Nizus, I found a lot of questions from Nizus in the exam.
Lot of questions are CPL questions, and a few are "new" material from high level flying and turbines...

It's a good reminder for all of us to challenge ourselves and keep asking us the question "What would I do if ..." while up there in the flight levels.

Re: Issues with the Aviation Document Booklet
Secondly for those that did get a new 10 year booklet there is a gotcha on the page with the medical sticker. This has 2 dates the one in small print that lists the date of your last medical and the one in bold print that list the date of issue. The date of issue is meaningless with respect to your...

Re: Record revenues vs 4 year flat pay
Flat pay for the first 4 years isn't a bad idea. The bad idea here is how low that flat pay is. As a major airline, it's sad to see people required to drop their salary and WAVCON when joining a new company while going "up the ladder", if going to AC is considered going "up the ladder". But on the o...

Hi, Just wondered what was your interview process and how you handled your previous job while being into that process?
