I worked there and it was the best job I've had, handflying raw data instruments was a great stepping stone and learning curve. One aircraft has the trimble all the others have a KLN90B's. There was a machine or two YVR based that had 430's in them with an autopilot if my memory serves me right. Mai...

Does anyone in CYSB have a 172/warrior or similar that is available for block time? I'm looking to take my father-in-law up for a few hours around Christmas when we are visiting up there.


Thank you!

Thoughts and Prayers go out to the friends and family

do the new CYHM FO's get trained in CYHM or CYVR? Mine was done in Hamilton with the CP for a few flights and a training captain for the last couple/ride. All training was done in aircraft not sim. I know some people who were Hamilton based that went to YVR for training due to training captain/exam...

For the most part it was 3 days on and 1 day reserve, however there was a few weeks due to shortages or people being sick where you'd work 4 or 5 days but it wasn't common practice. As far as the 3 weeks days and 3 weeks nights I am unsure if thats how they are doing it now, it wasn't like that in 2...

I've never experienced that, I have had a three day week of days and one day of reserve and got called in on reserve for a day shift. Never did I do a day-night-day. We have had pilots in the past that have done that but at their request for time building etc. CYHM-CYGK-CYHM (9.5 hours in the hotel)...

What does the ywg flying look like? Not sure about YWG , they were down to one plane and a few crew when I was there. I don't see any SLQ flight leaving YWG on Flightaware. YVR is probably the best base in terms of schedule. You leave at 6-630am and are home by 1130 if you do the Prince George or 4...

It varied sometimes it was consecutive days or if you got lucky you had a day in between. It definitely makes it hard to commute from say Toronto or London to Hamilton if you had to be there the next morning. I was a commuter and got fairly lucky in the fact I did the North run frequently(CYHM-CYYB-...

Great company to work for and build some time. There was a few different runs, two during the day left at 630am came home at 930pm-10pm the other day run left at 630am was home by 630-7pm. Typically we flew 3-4 days a week and weekends/holidays off. There was two night runs, one to JFK left at 1130p...

I have heard that Confed college is less disorganized.

That's false, there have been many new hires at AC recently that do not have a degree or aviation diploma.
