Re: Corporate Flight Solutions Inc.
So let me get this straight your going to tell me it is on the up and up. But yet within a week of posting the ad for this job flying a 310 around the US. He is in need of a pilot to ferry the meridian from TO, and asking for a pilot with type training. Why wouldn't he get the pilot who was hired to...

I dont even know where to start with this one. Fox-News oh my god!! Do they even have education anymore in America. Also this is very sad propaganda I guess against us canadians, to make americans feel better about themselves, and somehow against beer. How could anyone not like beer!! As a side note...

Sorry 1900guy but I'm in agreement with the majority on this one. As the summery points out, which I got a good laugh at, most of the complaints listed are very petty and things that anyone in the world could complain about if they are inclined. Also this is written by a woman. What a surpise a woma...

Working the ramp can be a great way to gain insight into a companies operations. Also while working the ramp at a busy northern/northern feeder airport you have lots of opportunity to network with other companies and shop around for what suits you. It can quite often work to your advantage. However,...

My father was a Nordair pilot back in his day... I found out from him on the weekend that yes indeed Larry Clark, our neighboor and family friend had passed away he will be missed by many. His youngest son still carries along a passion for aviation and is in the beginings of what should be another l...

JC... I am happy to see your posts on here. The pics are great, and I like your 'most likely' very honest story line. I think these kind of experiences which you are posting are more valuable to aspiring career pilots or even current experienced pilots as well. By more valuable, I mean, pilots can s...

After it is written and set into practice it will be scrutinized and interpreted till the end of time. In a sense, when a regulation, rule, or law, is created, the idea of su...

I would have to completely agree with your take on this topic. Especially, as I am a crew member second-in-comand of a large A/C and certified 2 crew only operations. Now most people would be happy to point out that pilot-in-comand time is very important to the level of experience of a crew member i...

It's ok... its a great system. I told the government that I was a pilot but I did not have any qualifications and didn't want leave home. After no companies would hire me to be a pilot working from home the government came through with a small grant to get me started. Now I fly I Bell 206 Jetranger ...

You would think that any business admin program would accually teach the study of business and making money, or better yet the student simply realize via this teaching that a commercial MIFR ticket is the possibly the worst investment aside from a Lotto 649 ticket to minimize risk and maximize rewar...

I dont think too many people mind putting in a little hard work on the ramp to get their career headed in the right direction. Lots of companies hire rampies to get the grunt work done for cheap labour in return for that all so precious first PPC. I personally think its a relatively fair system. How...

Unlike V1, I have not worked for Ravi. But I have spoken to this guy who used to own NEXJETS out of Buttonville. What a joke that 30 mins was.
