No, TAs are always discussed in the media. Just like the Ontario public workers one, just like Delta, AA etc. Details are always released before ratification. Usually pay specifically, but no it's not out of the ordinary. The article also says they just obtained the TA. It doesn't say it came from ...

.....As far as I'm concerned you are taking a risk every day whether you get in a car or a plane. You accept the risks, so deal with the fact that sometimes shit happens. I'm gonna guess that you've never jumped out of a burning 340 in a gully. I don't know about you, but i didn't pay for that... m...

is it known for sure that he wasn't wearing a harness at all? was he wearing it and didn't connect it, was he wearing it and connected it and it broke/connected it wrong/slipped out?

Will we ever know?

i'd take -25 sunny and no wind in alberta over -5 and a bone chilling wetcold in BC anytime...standing on the float in a southeaster... hmmm no more for me thanks.

I have no advice with printing but http://www.photo.net has 35000 members and has been running for 13 years. I would bet you'd find something helpful there.

yup there are a number of ways CWS can be activated. selecting CWS on the MCP, deselecting a A/P mode on the MCP, over-riding the controls with force, also, when certain modes disconnect, such as VNAV or LNAV, it can level down into CWS. And if you are on a ILS approach, and VORLOC and G/S are annun...

anytime the A/P is not controlling pitch, then you would be responsible for trim. remember if the A/P is engaged and you try to use the electric trim the A/P disengages. Just wanting to make sure I had it right, the Boeing Vol 2 had this to say about it; -Pitch CWS with a CMD engage switch selected-...

by deselecting altitude on the mcp do you mean the ALT HOLD button? if you choose to deselect any autopilot mode, I believe it reverts to a control wheel steering mode . In this case, you would have deselected althold, but remained in heading select. the A/P will still steer for the bugged heading, ...

The way most doctors I talked to put it is this:

Depending on your prescription, are you willing to ante up your ability to earn money as a pilot for what in most cases amounts to a cosmetic procedure with risks?

I was seriously considering the procedure until they put it that way.

probably tankered fuel .

its frickin -30 out here in yyc, maybe westjet should be the 2nd customer for the plastic fantastic 787. see how she goes first!

Lets hope.

FogHorn, the old system worked fine you're right. But it limited the expansion of the airline in terms of code-shares, interlines etc. The move was supposed to go so much better than this of course. It seems the problem is the bookings made in the old system are not being decoded properly into the n...

Rumor alert!!!

I heard that they might be placing an A/C somewhere on extended contract.
Anyone hear grumbling like that?

rumor only.

Umm WTF?




Discuss.

after 4500 hrs on floats , all in the dhc-6, i have 1 question....

what are "water rudders"?

You guys and your profit share checks...it's getting a little tiring, always throwing it in everyone's face. For a respected airline, you sure don't demonstrate much in the way of class...at least not on the respectable forums of Avcanada anyway. And btw KAG, I bet I have a tv just as big as yours,...

Hope this geoid doesn't have an impact either! For those who are unfamiliar, a geiod is a gravitational anomaly that causes depressions in the sea-level as opposed to the theoretical ellipsoid profile. In other words a lower sea-level than it should be all things being equal. From this picture, you ...

arent you guys doing your chemtrails flights each month?!? shame on you.

funny , a couple of months ago it was westjet getting dash 8's and now its Jazz getting 737's!

I love this industry!

On an other way maybe I could do something to simulate it anyway. It could go this way. The programmation could be done as follow... If the aircraft is in the air or on the ground, and the flaps are more than 25 degrees (25, 30 or 40) and the A/T armed, if I push the TO/GA switche(s) located on the...

AT, Just a comment but I have never seen a pilot on the NG disconnect the auto-throttle with the MCP switch... that is used only for arming it (in my experience). Im sure you could if you wanted to but the throttle thumb switches are obviously placed there for convenience. Also, as for throttle dela...

The commercialization of any endeavor is disappointing and leaves a bad taste in my mouth. I also don;t understand the country vs country aspect. Excessive nationalism never helped anything let alone getting all jazzed up about which country is best at skeleton. (no disrespect to skeleton btw) But I...

AT,

from experience I can assure you, when you try to trim the plane with the electric trim with an autopilot engaged... it will disconnect! Thats when you hear the duck call! By the way, how do you simulate that?!?

Very interesting to see your progress. cheers,
RSW

The more people you ask the more you will hear many opinions. I will be willing to bet, that if you asked pilots around the world this question.... the most common opinion you will hear will be this... "get on a twin otter" I heard it all through my training, and I got lucky to do just that. I have ...
