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...

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...

Re: Visiting Canada Wonderland by small airplane - CYYZ?
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. Why do we expect others to ever subsidize our life choices? So a 5 year old with cancer in Northern Ontario sh...

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".

Well that's disappointing, you had all the leverage. I hope this gets a 98% no vote. This is your only shot and it's slipping away.

Re: Government intervention
The Conservatives, Bloc and NDP have all indicated support for the pilots. The only thing Trudeau loves more than himself is being PM. I think you guys have the Libs by the nuts on this one. Got get it, hold the line.

Nobody's lowering the bar by coming back DEC after a stint in the sandbox. We've already ensured the bar is plenty low enough on our own thanks to decades of concessions and shit contracts.

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.

As if there weren't enough red flags with this operation. Go north OP, run don't walk. As a rule the mere mention of CCAA should have everyone on site polishing up resumes just in case.
