Transport Canada was the AME for Carson Air? Wasn't the pilot heavily intoxicated?

Could they use it as a way to exclude pilots that don't have the two crew PIC experience they want in order to become a Captain one day? I mean unless the pilot just pays for a PPC or does some other "workaround".

I think the point is giving people an idea how long to expect to wait for an answer. I remember after interviewing for my dream job (not AC) I felt incredibly anxious to get the results, to the point that I was starting to feel physically sick about it. I would have loved to have a thread like this ...

I wonder if they were using the 5,249' paved strip or the parallel 1804' grass strip. If it's 40°C in France that would really decrease performance. 11 people on board would put them at or near max gross. Witnesses seem to be saying the engine quit.

How are you guys such experts on racist jokes anyways? I grew up in farm country didn't even see my first black person IRL until I went to college, and that was only 2 people. I didn't see another black person until maybe 5 years later when a truck driver delivered a load to the remote town I was wo...

They cut 41 routes, including 24 US services and 14 Caribbean for restructuring.

It turns out Boomers didn't save a single penny for retirement. What happens now? They're banking on their children to take care of them in retirement.

Incorrect. You can withdraw your money in cash. It just takes a few days for them to order enough cash for you.

A lot of FAs are wonderful people to work with though. The vast majority of them actually. CUPE may have flaws but they stood up to Section 107 after our union was too chicken to do it. For that all Canadian organized labour groups owe them a huge thank you. The federal government is currently work...

In the modern age nobody wants to serve you. Nobody wants to cook or deliver food to strangers. Nobody even wants to pour you a drink, or take your plate away. The modern world has told us this servitude is slavery. Anyone doing this is resentful. They're going to take it out on you eventually one w...

I believe that ALPA has adjusted policy on claiming alcohol as an expense and this may be a partial workaround Again with the alcohol. $2000 a month is quite the party. Exactly how much of my paycheque is going towards mean-drunk bullying away the one guy that could probably turn this ship around?

I think you've earned the right to crash a plane without public scrutiny when you experience a low level engine failure after you've flown a biplane across the world. :wink: From my brief research she didn't fly the biplane across the world though. She had lied to the media and her sponsors about r...

I notice DEI policies don't allow for equality in economic backgrounds. If you aren't on your second career or don't have daddy's money you are being unfairly discriminated against.

I'm starting to think this crash may have been sabotage.

Yet you go on a public aviation forum and post this. Why?

It doesn't bother me at all. There is overlap with the DEI people though which I do think is huge problem.

A lot of beers apparently.

I've had to reject takeoff before because non-sticking snow didn't have enough time to completely blow off. Only the top layer blows off first and if the snow is thick enough the takeoff run won't be enough time for it to all blow off.

Oh man I didn't know young pilots are having to compete with student visa holders. It's hard enough to get your first flying job. What this government has done to young people is horrific. They can't even get a job at McDonald's anymore. 17% unemployment is the official stat. It seems even worse in ...

Is that even a legal requirement? There's a good case to be made not to quit your old job until you've already started your new one in case they cancel your PIT course.

Redistributing wealth never works because giving people money for nothing is negative training.

This is a smart HR strategy to attract pilots. Promise them Captain wages and then when they quit their job to come join your airline you demote them.

Nearly 60% of all disruptive passenger reports in 2025 came from WestJet flights, far ahead of others when it comes to disruptive behaviour. Flights to and from Calgary also made up almost 40% of all reports, the most for any Canadian city.

It's actually surprising there aren't more accidents caused by runway incursions. They happen pretty often.
