RTFQ man. I said the only airlines NOT hiring are WS and 5T.

We are at least a little to blame here. During covid when the airliners were all parked and crews laid off, we screamed and cried that Navcanaca was still charging service fees to the airlines, so in turn Navcan fired all their trainees and gave retirement incentives to cut costs. They still haven't...

I would never talk someone into climbing the greased pole as a career. We're here because we need it. We embraced the suffering.

I would certainly be sending out resumes and doing road trips when you can to keep building contacts. As winter sets in up north turnover can happen fast. The company under promising still leaves room for them to over deliver, I'd rather this than having them constantly say "maybe tomorrow". The onl...

What have you done to promote diversity in your work place? It will be asked of you by a DEI hire.

I'm of the opposite opinion to those above. If ac is want you want out of life, then do it now. Today. Just remember that for the next couple years at ac, your pay and for the most part, your lifestyle will suck. No joke, 16-18 days a month (up to 22 with recurrent), no control of your days off, you...

A study in why Canadian aviation can’t rely on commodity prices and one-time projects. Empress has always had ups and downs, that's the nature of charter work. I haven't heard if its 737 crews, or ATR, or a mix being hit. Porter is hiring 400 more pilots, AC is still going, as are Jazz and Encore, ...

... Pilots - Stop flipping frequencies and talking before listening. ... Porter - stop doing everything at half the speed as of everyone else. :D ... I agree with all the stuff you said, especially the part about PD, could you taxi any slower guys? 6 kts on a 3 mile taxi, really??? But honestly, if...

... I cannot agree with your comment more than I do now. Onex is sucking the blood from WestJet and will leave the corpse to rot after they sell it off. I think the investment by Delta, Air France-KLM, and Korean, is Onex finally admitting they have no idea how to run an airline, and bringing in in...

8) Hello my Chappies! It has been far too long since my last update, so I wanted to pop in to share the latest exploits of yours truly. COVID threw old Henri a curveball. You too? ... It gave me tinnitus. I wish I could claim that ringing in my ears was from standing front row, face to face with a ...

Not sure if the link will work, but it says it's a WestJet 700 landing short in Antigua in 2014. Watching this video I would have been pretty sure that was a no-no, but if it's not illegal then I guess it changes things?

if my cda starts at the FAF down to MDA and I cold weather correct, will the g530w path be safe to follow? e.g. my faf alt is 2000, mda of 1000, due to low temps cwc faf is 2500 and mda is 1500, the advisory glide path should still intercept at the faf and keep me on the 3.0 path then i'll level of...

Rumour mill saying he’s been shown the door.

Did he see it?

And if he lost sight of the door, would he just keep walking towards it and hope it opens on its own?

A climb is a higher area of vulnerability than cruise, especially with build ups and an inexperienced FO. Maybe time to re-think when you chose to do paperwork or otherwise go heads down?

I don't think "acquisitioning" is even a word. Do you mean acquiring?

I think if CAE is building a sim facility in yyc it's a fantastic move. Hopefully it's a facility open to all airlines, not just WestJet. Lynx was in the process of starting a training facility here when they shut down with FTD's and Level D Max 8 sims. With our weak dollar, a CAE facility could be ...

Crash/Fire Rescue(CFR) isn't a WestJetism, it is an ICAO term.

...

CFR is the old term, it's now called ARFF and has been for a good 10 years, at least in Canada.

That's some solid math there. I respect and can relate to someone who has a math mind. There's really no bad news for WSers with this aircraft order other than the darn thing isn't certified, but converting -10 orders into -8s would mean the same thing for crew numbers. Maybe Onex actually wants to ...

they say masturbating makes you deaf

What?

DC Pro x. Anything else is just a compromise. Do you want a deal, or do you want the best?

Must have gone 251 kts below 10 000'.

"Unpaid work won't fly" This movement alone, could literally change our entire industry if the AC FAs stick to their guns.

I went through this with a C414 once. I had flown several twin Cessnas, but the Chancellor is a lot of aeroplane, and you really need to be comfortable in it to take it cross country with your own life, as well as other's lives. In the end they let me take it out for some circuits and upper air work...

I'm pretty sure I saw it at CYBW recently parked outside the first hangar on the right on the way in. I actually saw an ad for the Warhawk on facebook marketplace with a contact number. It's listed as a "1992 P40 wathawk" spelling mistake and all, with a contact number. Or on this listing with a vid...

Which was our former CEOs opinion when it happened. Repossessing aircraft for being a few days late has never happened to any airline before. Hence the first law suit. Keep dredging though.
