Re: Job Hiring Slowdown

Everyone I've run into lately at FBO's are short crew. ATPL holders are still in high demand, admittedly I'm out of touch with the low pilot time market.

Re: Ornge Pc-24s?

Who cares about parachutes? Negotiate your starting salary before joining the union and sit right seat if necessary getting paid the same. You need to attract and retain talent. The only thing seniority is good for at Ornge was vacation bidding. The jet guys at the BOTL will get the shaft if PC-12 ...

Re: Ornge Pc-24s?

Not a rumour, part of the fleet renewal and expansion, I believe they will have 12 new pc12’s and the 2 jets. I think the timeline is around 2026 but stand to be corrected on that. Instead of basing the jets at the already operating super bases in CYQT and CYSB they will be based in CYLS for some re...

Classic dinosaur mentality. Can’t wait for all you to retire!
I'm 35 you dolt, you'll be waiting a while. Probably in the right seat because you don't have an ATPL.

Re: YYZ RJ landing Accident

Normally on a crosswind touchdown it’s not right at the point of a stall with a flat pitch. Therefore the right wheel here, although it seems like almost a “three point”, took on all of weight (W). The wing’s W (most of the left as well, and tail downforce) is all unloaded (exactly straight down) o...

Rookie is right, Barrie is your best bet. The GTA airports are not at all GA friendly and Brampton is pretty congested in my experience.

Re: Who Funds Medevac flights?

Government = so I pay for it. If I choose to live in a small town, far from services, why should I expect others to subsidize my life choices? The second part of that question— as a whole.

Re: Who Funds Medevac flights?

Government pays for it. The similarity would be if you went to the hospital in a small town and they admitted you then realized they can’t treat you due to a lack of services then you would be transferred to the big city hospital by ambulance and you don’t pay for that ride as it’s covered by the g...

Re: TA

Out of curiosity are there any other groups at AC that have to sit through years of flat pay? Or is that honour only reserved for the pilots? I don't understand the obsession with flat pay for the privilege of "flying the flag".

The only guarantee in Canadian Aviation is change. You're right, outside of AC nothing is permanent. Many of us go through a "lifer" company shutdown or restructure by the time AC is an option.
