Lol on the comparison of a junior pilot to that of a lawyer or doctor. Not even close to the same level of education, bud.

Speak for yourself, it took me 6 years to get my PPL.

Full time? I doubt that.

Looks like HVU from the picture on the front page of the Herald.

Will save the speculation on what happened to other people.

Tell the guys with the cubs that if there is a strong headwind they have to keep full throttle. Want to keep it fair for the rest.

Hopefully they will be okay. They still offer a good product at a reasonable price. AC and WJ can beat them on the price, but not on the product IMO.

It's an hour long flight. The product doesn't matter.

1st - Too-Low Flaps avatar is fucking awesome 2nd - Too-Low Flaps avatar is really fucking awesome 3rd - I am a student who ownes.....where am I on that thing? Yes and yes.

It's getting very frustrating trying to rent a plane these days through the flying club/FBOs in the city paved with gold. Looking for a four seater to do some x-countries and longer trips. If you have either block time available or know of a parternship looking for partners, can you please PM me. Th...

Design me a poppy holder that A) won't punch a hole in my $500 goretex jacket and, and B) won't stab me in the chest every time I don and remove said jacket, And I'll wear the poppy. Find out how many Canadians died so you have the right to wear your goretex jacket. Or if that's too impersonal or "...

Well xmas is around the corner, and the lady was asking what I want. Before I tell her, I would like some feedback. How is the ANR? Is it a decent passive headset too? How does the cell/mp3 plug work? do the songs cut out when ATC comes on? Do sunglasses break the seal? thanks Tried on the X11 and ...

Jesus christ buddy. Nice first post :? What was this thread about again? He was barely readable, I think he asked "Whats the deal with WestJet technology" Personally I like the new 37's with them little TV thingys. As long as it is topped off with "any conflicting traffic, please advise" I think we...

What was this thread about again?

So im checking out MLS and I've noticed Hamilton is DIRT CHEAP!!!! I mean I could buy a house for well under 100K (work needed). What gives? For those in the know, any areas to avoid or ones considered good locations. Thanks. Just make sure your neighbour isn't one Greg Haza...your wife/girlfriend/...

Placing more value on stock/unit prices than running the airline seems to be a common thing amongst Canadian airline CEO's. Might be an ego thing. Easier to showcase a price than it is to have a happy workforce. It may shock you that an airline is a business and the CEO's job is to make money on th...

And if you feel that you must rush... DON'T DO A TOUCH AND GO Now you are really being crazy - full stop and taxi back? What could be done in that taxi back....discussing what just went on? Nah. Who would want to do that for the first few to get things straight and then go into touch and goes? What...

I understand the value and cash for investors, but in the end, for the airline itself, how would spinning off ACTS, etc. affect the operations. The math suggests that the airline is the dog in the portfolio of assets...which it is. Part of the reason why the airline has a poor return is that the se...

Don't you know that you need a special signoff to land on grass!



Sad part is that it is true. Must be something about grass that scares people...probably goes back to having to fly the airplane all the way to the tiedown....

I can understand your frustration with the process, but I would suggest part of that frustartion is not knowing how the process works. That is where you need to use the expertise of your Flight School. Thanks for the response - appreciate the response from someone on the other side. Agree that my F...

Rhetorical..

Why frustrate yourself by asking that question?

Remember, ACE was the most profitable airline in North America (258 million!) in 2005 and continues to be profitable in 2006. Time for labour to get back their share. And that's the kind of mentality that put in it CCAA in the first place. It may surprise you that AC exists to create profit and wea...

My initial response was "your mom or dad should have had that conversation with you many, many, many years ago." After actually reading the response - there are things that we do because we are passionate about it. You *can* have a love of flying without having it pay the bills. Remember, there is n...
