I always thought it hilarious when training aircraft would announce they’re conducting the “simulated RNAV approach.” What the hell a simulated RNAV? You’re doing the RNAV approach, in real life, not in a simulator. Who cares if the weather is VMC? Call it what it is. The day I have a delay in my c...

We spoke about it in another post. Why governments are still extending the implementation of the new duty regs while the shortage of pilot is virtually over for the next 3 years? Shouldn’t we request from our unions and lobbyists to push for a rapid implementation and bring back more colleagues to w...

Which is stupid. In no time I will accept furlough while those measures aren’t in place. Now that the shortage is over for years, they need to apply the duty regs now.

3rd quarter is estimated to be a 25% total capacity vs 2019 Q3. Still about 10% for Q2.

How many furloughs does this mean or does it mean no more hiring for a while?

How many years on the pilot list will it go back?

On the other side, no more excuses to not respect the new duty regs rapidly.

Buffalo wrecks a plane, in the meantime, fatty McBryan is posting videos of DC3s on floats on Youtube.

What's happening with the Q in YVR? Is it because of upgrades? Flow? People just moving out of the base?

Air Canada is asking more and more for a University degree or somekind of aviation diploma... Keep that in mind

Looking at their website, it looks like a fraud

Read the other topics in the Encore section. You will find everything you need.

Why is Georgian still advertising all over the place for pilots?

What's their plan post AC Express contract?

How hard is it for crews to carry veggies and fruits across the US border?

Plenty of posts in the Encore section that will answer your questions.

to op. any particular reason 1900 there are lots of other 704 machines types out there?

19 seater PT6 for 704, there isn't many on the market...

I like the name... "International Pilot Academy". It makes it sound like the company owns 50 planes and is a prestige flight school. Just like the "Academy of Aeronautics" in Montreal

As the title says... Where are the low timers going?

Likely to the local Loblaws. There is very little movement at the moment. I'm an example, 6000+ hrs king air captain trying to land 705 position.

You’re a lightweight

Diploma matters if you don't have a degree yet.

Looks like the majors are requesting a degree nowadays...

I got my PPL at 48 hrs... There is a problem somewhere. Ask your instructor, he will tell you what's missing. If he keeps making you do circuits, he's not happy the way you handle the aircraft on either of the flight phases. "Never trust a student with fuel and oil". LOL. Quite the blanket statemen...

Crazy how regionals will upgrade quicker on the Q and RJ than Canadian North on the classic

get your ATPL PIC requirement before applying to a 705 operation.

I have all the required time, except total time.

10 years ago yes, now you’d be able to spend your entire career there on an IATRA if you didn’t want to go left seat or to AC.

Still wonder if they do have a recent history of hiring without the A's done tho...

Hi,

Just wondering if they ask you to have your ATPL written prior to being invited for an interview or being granted a GS date?

Can they live with us having the IATRA for a few months?

If you did the encore for 2 months then over to jazz thing and when the time came you were one of the 10% PFO’d jazz guys to AC and you want to go to WJ I can pretty much guarantee you would never get a job because you burnt that bridge years before. You're right... And seems like there is less and...

With the retirement age being discussed all over the world by governments, I wouldn't be surprised the class 1 maximum age to be raised in the next years...
