Re: Hey there are more then just 2 of you in the crew

How about this? I had an FA on The RJ the other day steal 2 crew meals that weren't hers and she even lied and said they weren't delivered, although I saw them sitting there. I called her on it and she said that they only delivered "her breakfast" although she wasn't supposed to get one. What the F%...

The cog test in no way is an indicator of future performance. It is a base line test that can be used to check for any brain impairment that may have occured in an individual. It does not work as a group test only against your previous testing and answers. Someone at AC decided it was a good way to ...

Get an old pong game and try to play it with a light pen! Actually it is pretty easy, all about remebering numbers, patterns and trying to keep a line centered on the screen etc.

good luck.

According to LOU 18, AC has to hire a minimum of 40% of its pilots from the "regionals" (written a few years ago at least). So if this not done do all the people at Jazz that were PFO'd have some sort of come back?

As to knowing what you were getting paid going to Jazz and not getting a pay cut. I have to disagree that those did and didn't happen. I along with other employees was told we were getting paid one way and 8 months after we were hired it was changed and decreased. So anyone that leaves Jazz for gree...

Actually it was a damn simple test, was like playing pong with a light pen! The psyc tests were the dumbest bloody tests I have every had to do. I did research on these types of tests and they are not designed for intial information, thye are designed for a individuals baseline not a group!

I can't see how it could have been a hard landing, they were going slow on D3 when it collapsed. I talked to a maintenance guy the other day and he says there is an AD out for the gear about some brackets and it may have been them letting go. I was supposed to take that plane to YQT right after, if ...

Due to the busy summer schedule they are not doing courses until Sept. If you had medical you are most likely in but everything slows down in the summer. It gets busy in the summer with increased flying and a lot of people on vacation etc. No worries I imagine they will call soon.

Transport Canada medicals do not have a drug test, all you are tested for is sugar levels, that is it. If there is a drug test to be done it is done in house by your company. Even when you go for your initial medical with Jazz it is not a drug test at all. Don't sweat it, if you are being given a dr...

I went through those ridiculus cog tests and I have to say I call BS on whether they show what future performance will be. If you read about them they are generally used as a base reference for an individual in case there are problems in the future. It will show whether a person has any sort of brai...

What is with the anger around here? I don't get it, it is OK for someone to fly a float plane in the bush with 250 hours and you would send your family with them but if they are in an RJ it is a no go.

Hey

Go nuts with the application they are talking about/going to be, hiring right out of aviation colleges so you have more experience than them.
On workopolis you should be able to update without doing a new user name, I did a long time ago, maybe someone who did it recently can help.
