Re: 11 die in skydiving crash..

I wonder if it was an upgraded -34 engine or the original -27?

Re: New Apprentice seeking advice. Rotary or fixed wing

Yes airlines are on seniority, so expect 10 or more years of 4 pm to 4 am. And vacation with kids, summer weeks all taken by senior guys with no kids. My buddy put in a career at an Airline and never got summer vacation.

Re: New Apprentice seeking advice. Rotary or fixed wing

I've never worked for an airline or ever had any desire to do so. Might be just me but have no regrets. i do remember more than a few who have saying when going to work "leave brain at door"

Re: New Apprentice seeking advice. Rotary or fixed wing

I'd ask a lot of questions about a pre flight job. Ask if that in a year you'll be sitting in the pilot seat doing run ups.

Is the big one Bombardier? If so don't expect to do any AME work for many years, if ever.
Helicopters earn their keep mainly in remote areas so you might spend your summers in a tent swatting bugs.

Jim (Jimbo) Pierce

Jimbo's Daughter has posted on FB that he has passed. From the number of condolences posted it's obvious he was well known and liked in the pilot world. Coastal B.C and Maldives in particular.

Re: Westjet 737 Gear collapse in SXM today

Are not test flights done after some maintenance task is performed?
Therefore it's up to the Engineers not the pilot as to what's to be done on the flight.

Re: Westjet 737 Gear collapse in SXM today

Scrap it?? If KBA can go to the Antarctic and do that nose replacement on a turbo 3 then I'm sure a crew can jack and bolt on some angle iron for a ferry flight . A bit more than that I know but I'm sure it will be ferried out.

Company places a big add looking for people and you have to google to see who they are. I think if I was hiring I'd tell people who I was. Maybe that's just me.

Be nice if they told you who they and where the job would be. Canada is a big place and not everyone knows the company abbreviations.
