Who cares how much it costs Joe to make this shit happen, it's awesome, always has been, and it's worth it. I hope he makes a million dollars off this site. PS...what ads? Still using firefox and I don't see any at all...

I believe this crash is the main reason 703 and 704 ops have to use the ridiculous segmented weights formula based on the number of seats on the aircraft type certificate and the ratio of females to males instead of the standard weights used in 705 that the rest of the industry used to be able to us...

The old license format used to be more descriptive and indicative of what you could do with it. My CPL from 2000 said "All single pilot non high performance, single and multi engine land aeroplanes..." Provided you aren't carrying paying pax you can fly all single engine non high performance aeropla...

From what I've been told, if you applied to Swoop and it's been 3 days and they haven't called you, something went wrong with your application.

Looks like new aircraft livery will be released today after shareholders votes with the "Operated by/Exploité par Air Canada" showing on side fuselage.

So the fuselage is bilingual, has 'Lever' been added to the seatbelts yet?

I still think Swoop is the logical place to move the 67's as they get phased out of mainline with more 87's coming. Do you want to give Rouge a run for their money or not?

Hello, My wife is an avid aviation enthusiast and has always wanted to talk with a pilot. I want to surprise her for Christmas and get her some time with a pilot. I would be more than happy to compensate the pilot for his time if anyone here has any connections I would love to talk details. Thank y...

My personal experience with their hiring process was overwhelmingly negative, and unprofessional, and personally I would never apply there again. But to each his own. What happened to you? I remember heading out to Abbotsford for an interview and never got an answer afterwards. After a month or so ...

Still a good gig but there have been a few small changes away from that in the past few years. Starting pay actually went down a couple years ago, and the pre-diem structure changed for the worse. 120 days is a long time to be away from home, pay should be going up. There's also a move away from 2 p...

You will need a multi employer pass but I have only seen those for ground staff working at a single airport. Speak to both your employers and ask the pass office at both airports what they suggest. I've seen them for contract pilots, but they were both companies at the same airport (YYC). A RAIC is...

Im just starting out and I fly a noisy plane. There must be a David Clark in my future.

Dc One X. $1400 well spent. Welcome back.

Am I to understand that the competency of some foreign airline pilots may have some effect on the possibility of having an accident in a Boeing Max? When 7 pilots ride in the simulator, 2 in the front, one instructor, and 4 standing in the back logging the time like at Lion Air, and when they put 2...

I'm not sure ILS approaches are optimized for circling. It all depends where you are on the approach when you reach MDA, and commence circling. For some reason in my mind, an ILS would put you too close to the threshold but I may be visualizing it wrong. As long as you break off the approach once yo...

I'd fly on it tomorrow here in Canada or in the US, but I will never fly on Lion Air or Ethiopian Air, on any aircraft ever.

You mean, the aircraft with cracks found will be fixed. Hardly newsworthy.

The notam system IS fucked. Period. And Navcanada just made it worse.

I followed them for a while because living in YLW 4/4 could be a pretty good job, in the past 2 years they've only advertised for FO's, It seems that the captains they have are sticking it out, or if they have hired from the outside it's been done without the need to put up job ads. Just by the natu...

I've been told that they actually like it, if at the interview, you admit that you have looked for information on them but couldn't find any. It's sort of their thing. They pay well compared to the rest of the field in yyc, the have no schedule though. Nothing. If you haven't been called by 19:00, y...

I would say that if you have kids, Encore schedule has no competition with Link. Link is dayshift with no overnights or standup shifts which allow you to drop your kids at school in the morning, nap, pick em up, do whatever, dinner put them to bed and go to work, repeat next morning. No stand ups? ...

Hello Is this time of year harder to find an entry-level job that would lead to a FO position? ... It's harder in tourism based areas cause that dies off, but in year round work areas like in medevacs, scheds, and crew changes it's actually the best time of year to look for work. Believe me, after ...

I heard that also. Any word on pay in the left seat? No change from the above numbers as far as I know. A friend was offered a job there but went to Encore for a better schedule and conditions. Not really sure Link has much to offer in YYC, but if you want YVR or to live on the island and commute, ...

Ive had this experience. On my ppl I did the pre flight test with the CFI and she was very tough on marking me. She didn't have the benefit of knowing that I was normally god at this exercise or that procedure and that today I got nervous or slipped up. Isn’t consistency of performance an important...

Last update I had heard was that they dropped the signing bonus for FO's but it's still in place for Captains. That's from 6 months ago.
