:lol: Too fuuny... I luv the commentary. On the downside..do you realize that you've just encouraged that many more senseless posts so people can reach the #1 spot :) We should have a warning somewhere on the site stating, "The total number of posts here can not be swapped for flight hours" Meaning,...

I don't know if it really matters how many they're looking for because from my past experience in 2001 when they were really short on pilots, I made it through the whole selection process all the way to board review only to find out that the program I was enrolling under wasn't open anymore. The pro...

For pilots that go long periods of time between flying and still waiting for that elusive flying job, what are some good ideas to help pilots stay ontop of the game so when they do get the call they're well prepared. Keep in mind some of us aren't rich and can't afford to go rent a plane every coupl...

I've had similar questions that Waterwings had and was curious to what kind of answers companies are looking for. It seems that charter companies and small regionals ask these kind of questions and it seems like they have a predetermined idea of the type of person they're looking for. I'm sure most ...

I can't recall where I saw it, maybe on the NavCanada site but some AWOS stations now have video feeds that allow a person to see predefined landmarks of the area with an explanation stating the required vis to see that landmark in good conditions. It at least will give you a better idea of whether ...

Here's a quote from an article dealing with US carriers.. "Airline revenues have beat analyst predictions for January by actually edging up over last years performance while average fares fell. This is with Delta's supposedly devastating revenue impailing fare cuts in place for nearly the whole mont...

I would start with whoever owns the Navajo that you acquired the 45 hours on.

As I had it explained to me a couple years back from the inside ;) Sure they could take at a low timer, take $10K (B1900 PPC) and stick you in the right seat forever but, you'd have a pretty hard time going captain because you didn't have the PIC time to do so.. Wouldn't make much sense ehh? All dep...

Howdy folks... I've posted a pic in my gallery of an A340 on take off from Rwy 06 at Halifax. It started its roll at the button of 06 and didn't rotate until after taxiway Delta and probably lifted off just past Echo. Might give you some idea of how much runway a "heavy" can eat up at YHZ. But keep ...

When I was getting ready for my commercial ride a few years back, my instructor had me practicing diversions at about 500' AGL when he decided to sim a rough engine by leaning the mixture to the point where the engine was cutting in and out. I immediately told him I see the point of his exercise but...

I can't name a program but I do know that the possible root of the problem comes down to a program that you've probably installed legit and when it installed you were blessed with spy ware :) Also could be a website you've visited... Case in point Blubster... sure its free and ya can get songs but i...

Guilden, I would suggest reading the AIP, COM section. 3.16 and AIC 7/04. The AIC is a summarization of section 3.16 but there was material from the COM 3.16 on the exam that wasn't found in the AIC circular. Overall I would say get yourself pretty familiar with the GPS material because the exam has...

Hey Tango... The charts and wx still come on paper.. The only thing you have to do is answer and read the questions off the computer. I haven't forgot about our PM conversation either, just been busy getting an exam done. I'll drop ya a line in the next day or so with some info... If ya have any oth...

Ello Ello.. I was curious if anyone else had the chance to use the new format for writing exams at TC and what they thought of it. They've gone the route of computerized exams, which I might add has it's ups and downs.. I for the most part found it easy to use the exam software and it had a nice boo...

Too funny, but so true...

I can't stop laughing!!!

This is just a little rant I had to get off my chest.. As of late, I see more and more people taking shots at spelling mistakes made on this forum.. Yeah yeah, I know the whole professionalism speech and how you come across, I got it last week, but get with it.. This isn't a formal document or discu...

Would you want to ride with a pilot that always worries how he appears to others?? His mind is somewhere else :) Rebel, I'm not sure what you mean with the pull the socks up thing and what you're referencing it to?? And check everything?? Is he/she going to check the torque settings on every nut and...

I wouldn't say it fizzeld out... The CAAP which I think you're addressing BD is still around but it is something that will take time and effort, people seem to forget that.. It's funny you mentioned it but I didn't see too many people from this site helping out but I seem to hear and see a lot of co...

You hit it on the head there Loop.. It's funny how we forget what life is like outside our own world sometimes, so to speak, I do it myself.. $$$ makes the world go round and when you don't have any means to get $$$ it turns into a catch 22.. How do ya get the coin to move and keep those banks off t...

I think they're done looking for now or they could always be looking, I'm not sure..They usually keep a pool of new hires to fill spots as needed.. The interviews were done last weekend.. I haven't heard too much on the Sched runs but seems like the low loads could be a problem, plus it is their fir...

Ahh yes.. where would we be without bitching and complaining???

Well, if not for it, some folks wouldn't have anything to bitch and complain about when the bitching and complaining stops

:oops: Sorry about that.. I'm leaving NS, looking anywhere west of Quebec to setup shop. I'm not going into this expecting to get results ASAP, so doing the whole Canada scene is the plan, but could use some tips on places worth looking at. If you need more personal info, feel free to send me a PM. ...

I'm about to saddle up the ol'mule and start the journey into the sunset and I'm looking for some insight into companies worth looking at. I plan on driving for most of the time but I'm trying to find operators that play fair and have a good reputation ;) I'm not interested in flying the "big iron" ...

As have I :) Floats, I hope you didn't take anything I said too personal :) Just trying to get more informative answers ;) for Nomad and any others who read this topic. Why not give insightful ideas or thoughts? Everyone's situation is a little different and not everyone has the answers :) but, when...
