Good point. I know it would end it it for me.

The Georgian ads were the straw that broke my camel’s back. Would notbe hereif it wasnt for ad blocker

There is a simple solution. Instead of coming on here and whining, get off the website for a month. Check back, and if things are still not to your liking, take another month... As long as people are still checking in, there will be no change due to whining. I would expect they monitor traffic close...

NWO Can you post your personal balance sheet? Lets have a look and see how you are doing. I find it unbelievable that you have the gaul to request to see AvCanada books. It is not a charitable association. Live with the ads...or bugger off. You have no right to this website’s financials. As an aside...

Really? You have to read about a tragic end for seven people to learn not to take off or fly in bad weather? To learn that night VFR has some hidden hazards? Not to fly over gross? Or maybe it is all about reminding people that these are important things a pilot should actually know (without being r...

Great. Lets discuss whether low time pilots should depart into poor weather. And what can be done to help them make good decisions. My previous point was two fold: 1. I do not think we have to do this after a recent tragedy. And , without facts, stating things like the pilot took off in deterioratin...

D’oh!

Digits, old boy, Your post of the operator was very good and clever. I didn’t even know they had Zambonis on the island. But I am afraid that your target audience might have missed the analogy. Maybe when he gets his Zamboni built, he will renew his medical and instructor rating, Shouldn’t be much o...

So here was a man who loved aviation. Who was passionate about flying. And who bought himself a nice plane. And on a flight ,it all ended in a terrible tragedy. 7 people died. And on AvCanada a pack of ghouls forms to dissect this tragedy as if no one would care A learning experience? Bullshit. From...

I don’t think anyone doubts that advanced education is necessarily the end all, be all.Advanced education does indicate that a person can study, gain knowledge, and has self discipline. University is not about being smart. It is about applying oneself. Smarts alone won’t cut it for very long ( and o...

Well, thank you for another well written post. I am not sure where the post secondary issue was raised, but I agree.it does demonstrate something about discipline and learning. I hated calculus much more than an engine failure. Comparing the military training to a college program is a bit of apples ...

L39 Guy. I have read and reread all your posts on this thread. The sense I get is you are really, really promoting this program. And in a very well written way. So well written, in fact, that I can understand why people think you are not as advertised, and have some self interest in this program. Wh...

If you believe that guaranteed job in a downturn, you might want to review seniority numbers, furloughs, and the options an employer has with regard to bonds. The whole bond thing puzzles me. Jazz has nothing invested in hiring these pilots, so other than initial training costs to an already rated p...

There was a program a few years back to train career FOs. Anybody know how that is working, or worked out? IIRC it was called a multi crew license or something along those lines.

I am not entirely certain this has been well thought out. And why would they be chained to Jazz for five years?

I have to wonder how big the pool is of diploma/degree graduates who have and want to pay $126k for a job.

Some solid pre program research? Or just some board room high fiving what they see as a great plan.

Photo. Just to play devils advocate here. I someone should go and get a class 3 medical ( under age 40). . Their license would show they hold a class 3. Now, say a few months later they decide to get their commercial and go and get issued a class 1. Both valid, or is there somewhere it says you cant...

As an aside, if or when you decide to only fly for leisure, and you only ASK for a Cat 3, and are issued a cat 3 , the good folks at TC will demand return of your ATPL or CPL.... If your cat 1 expires, no issue at all. So if you hold an ATPL or a CPL, and only fly for leisure, renew your Cat 1, and ...

Well HO, I just reread your response to CWE. You are, of course, correct. Pilots who report safety issues would end up with 25 employers on their resumes . I am not sure where the 25 came from but who am I to question your numbers when to do so would put your claim in dispute. No one wants to be lab...

Which airline?

As chief pilot or just a line Captain?

To save time I have been both.

Chief Pilot at an airline! Impressive.
To repeat the question, Which airline?

I have trained zero class 4s. But have flown with hundreds of pilots in my career, including student pilots.... How many times have you actually heard someone say “ push the nose up”. .? Be honest now. I do know why people say “ conflicting please advise. It is a carry over from the past, but I can ...

In 50 plus years of flying I have never ever heard anyone, (while flying, ) say, push the nose up.
Can’t even fathom why someone would say that.

Possibly my favorite part of doing class 1 work. ;) Of note one of the more challenging things to do is purposefully screw stuff up, in a specific manner, when I'm playing "stupid student". Playing ‘stupid student’. Or......stupid silly class 1. Sometimes the perception is not the same as the stude...

Any sufficiently advanced form of humour is indistinguishable from idiocy."

Good to know. I am really an advanced humorist.

While it probably should be, I don’t think Durian is classified as a dangerous good.

So did you vote Liberal, because our Prime minister is such an ethical, world respected leader?
