Re: 79 Airplanes Retired

Re: When do you think flying will be back to february 2020 level

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

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.

Re: New hire bids

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

Re: Flight Instructors - International Pilot Academy

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

Re: 50 hours and no solo

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...
