Heard the RCMP big wig got delayed a few minutes at Buttonville Airport with a ramp check. Also heard that TC got burned for it. Maybe TC will learn how to do it right.

Minimum IQ requirements for pilots
Ethics training for pilots
Personel hygeine training guess for who?

I want to thank the participants who expressed opinions. I hope everyone understands that there is no correct answer to this. We all have to do what it takes to move forward. Check out the add buy 50 hours float plane so that you can do what? Insurance companies are now raising the standards for the...

ahramin Your have a point so we as pilots are the same or worse than prostitutes because we allow ourselves to be treated in the same manner. Yes I'm generalizing but as long as one person says YES we all have a problem. I have a good friend in the construction business who says " I want to kill the...

Prostitues do not work for free. They have better representation and hourly rates than pilots. They also stick together to keep the cost up. Maybe I should have mentioned OPEC. they do the same thing.

ahramin Got to tell you I enjoyed your coment on religion a few weeks ago. Again this brings more conditions to the flow. Just want to mention that there are over 280 companies in Canada that fly PA31's does it make sense to buy a PPC on a PA31 or not. My position is that you have to live with yours...

Pimper You've just added more side to the question. As far as treating people fairly it's subjective. Some peole feel unless they have all the cookies it's not fair. Just food for thought. I haven't paid for a PPC nor do I intend to but then I have choices some other do not. I've mentioned Carl Mila...

Joined this forum to get some info on FA28's for a project. (now done) Got into reading posts from some interesting people ( with a few idiots ). The question of ass kissing or commitment is interesting. I do not like to hear "I'll do it for FREE" . It just pushes a few of my older buttons. The puri...

Before you call dad ( I wish my dad had an airplane ) check out the definition of cross country and check your log book you might have the time

N2 Aspilots we enjoy a certain feeling no matter how miserable the situation. I think of my grandparents and how long it took them to travel. Horse and cart for real. Now I jump into a nice airplane and go over 200 K in cloud with few restrictions. I mean we are blessed with this experience why ruin...

There are phrases that come to mind when talking about holier than thow attitudes. 1. my sh?t don't stink. 2. I'm to good for this 3. I didn't spend $60,000.00 to be doing this. 4. Hi I'm a pilot are you impressed. 5. being a professional etc. etc. as a group we are as good as our last screw up that...

Old timer I'm going to borrow your last post it's a good teaching aid.

Fuel consuption rule of thumb.

A piston aircraft burns five gallond of gas for every 100 horse power. I use canadian gallons for a fudge factor.

E.G. 150 Horses = 7.5 gallons
500 horses = 25 gallons

Platinum leased the offices at Jazz and a guy from Vancouver with a B737 VIP config bought the Sparr hanger

You should ask the tower why they do it. I know its not part of MANOPS but maybe the controller thinks it's usefull or maybe he has nothing better to do. The tower number is in the CFS

chewsta I know for a fact that some operators rent their airplane with the understanding that the logbook will be certified with the extra time. I even heard a sales pitch that quoted 250 hours for the price of 175. The only catch was the spread from the flight time to the air time. E.G. Flight time...

Oldtimer I read your rule of thumb entry. You have a good handle on speed etc. You know when you talk to a newbie with his phrasioligy that he does or doesn't have the experience. I hear FL300 and my hair stands on end. Before the keenies tell me about rudueced high level sep. I should mention that ...

This is something the purists can add to do you thing we as professionals should tolerate this practice or turn in these parker pen enthusiasts. It's funny how some people have one hundred twin one year and three fifty the next with business being slow.

Being a chief pilot is interesting you get to talk to pilots who feel that they are owed the job. It is important to stree what you are going to do for the job ( without working for free ) also remember when you pad your logbook don't let me catch you.

Got say gentlemen hide sight is always 20/20. I bet you could all run iy better. Airline have to pay there bills or they close ask C3 guy etc. I'm sorry about your grandmother maybe someone should have made special arrangments if she needed help. You know carry spare food drugs ask ground staff for ...

Radar seperation If you have space between the targets it's safe.
If the trailing aircraft can read the skin number of the traffic in front give him hell for going to fast.

First it was mach number then it was the flip phone now its seven times the speed of sound. why don't we just fix the trasporter and be done with it. I knew being a trecky was educational and leading eadge.

Make it so Mr. Crusher

I just want to add one historical fact. Carl Milard the slave driver of Canadian Aviation deceided that after some of his pilots jumped ship to go work for AC or CP or ND or WD he would charge for the training. He used to charge $10,000.00 for the DC4 edorsment and the pilot had to work for one year...

Kennyr you certainly have a right to disagree. i have found that in the long run they will get it. Anyway someone is always in the wings trying to get that freee twin hour eventually that source will dry up as people get word of the reputation. Since I'm out of the rat race maybe I have more patienc...

I have found that employers who habitually abuse there empoyees get it back sooner or later. This comunity is small once the word gets out of how he treats people he will start having trouble getting qualified help. Then when he calls back be hard to get hold off.
