I see a lot of job postings around the level where I think I could consider applying that indicate minimum multi engine hours, typically 500-1000. Same kind of thing with PIC. When a fixed wing operator is looking for a minimum number of multi hours, what is the intent behind the minimum? For most ...

So has it been fixed up enough to fly out yet ?

In the 90's the median income in Canada would afford you a detached house and two late model cars in the driveway. To be able to afford those assets as easily now you would need to make $400k, perhaps even more. Son is 32, he is a plumber. He owns a 4 bedroom house on a 1/4 acre lot in town. Parked...

I'm actually a bit surprised you need current to instruct IFR. It's not like we ever went in actual IMC in training. When I taught IFR back in the 80's, thru the winter, the majority of the flights were in IMC. I especially enjoyed a few trips where the destination airport was w0x0f, tell the stude...

He's definitely slid down my friend ranking this week. How to tell the difference between friends and acquaintances ? Moving day. I've told this to the kids time and again. A couple months ago, son had to move. Once all the stuff was in the new place, he phoned me to say, now he knows who the real ...

So has it been determined yet the fate of the airframe ? Is a crew down there fixing it, or is it headed to the pop can factory ?

The article says 420, not 1420. That a few less 'football fields' for those that cant figure out how far a thousand feet is.

https://youtu.be/Rjm7TqJCN8c The removal in high speed. It’s hard to tell but it looks like the gear re-collapsed and the crane dropped it at around the 2:20 mark. It's a time lapse so things will look faster and more abrupt than they actually were. If you play it back at 1/4 speed, it looks more l...

Were you a paying passenger on that flight ? Or are you just making an issue because you want to stir the shit pot

Another example of poor radio work. If you need the trucks, start with "Pan-Pan Pan-Pan Pan-Pan". It's really not hard, and it gets the message across clearly. Especially if there's any language barrier. I can't even understand the Westjet pilot when he speaks. Is there an English proficiency issue...

I see it quite the opposite. Lots of operators already have the equipment, now they can make proper use of it.

That certainly hasn't aged well....

So my question for a 787 driver, cuz I've never seen the front end of one of those. Where are the fuel cutoffs located ? Thinking back to an accident report I read years ago, seat lock let go, seat slid back just as person flying pitched up into the climb. Instinct reaction was to reach out and grab...

And how exactly is the Indian government to blame for this? We don't even know the cause. But you know who to blame? They are not to blame for this. But protecting Air India is most likely their priority. Not uncommon…. Egypt Air 990 in 1999 is a good example. It's not exactly common, one example d...

Except you haven't lost the right to strike, but recent history shows that the groups have lost (or never had) the will to strike.

Onex paid about 3.5 billion and assumed debt which put the total transaction value around 5 billion at the time of purchase.

Weather is albertan, just like Carney is! Maybe where they started, but ownership rests in Toronto. What matters is not where ownership is located, but, the address of record on the AOC.

So to get back to the original question, that of licensing. For aircrew, both Canada and the US have process in place to validate an aircrew license for a foreigner, those processes wouldn't go away. Alberta will likely have to put in place it's own systems eventually. But then the stickler, with Al...

IMHO, to much money for not enough airplane. As stated above, essentially a twin commanche on a boat hull.

but the difference between Canadian and European eggs and milk is much smaller than the difference between Canadian and European cheeses. Both in taste and cost. Guess it depends where you are buying the cheese I guess. We buy a lot of European cheese here, it doesn't cost much more than domestic, ...

We’re really going to sacrifice aluminum, steel, lumber, autos and all the rest to keep the food cartels going? [/i] Anybody care to answer the question in the last sentence? Sure. Somebody has confused a bunch of issues. Lumber is not part of any recent discussions, was subject to the softwood lum...

All the schools in my area on the West Coast have waiting lists for new students. They is still a significant instructor shortage seriously ??!! I only see a overwhelming new instructors and not enough students. You may want to check the date of the post you are responding to, this is an old thread...

All we have to do is get rid of the dairy board(to the benefit of almost all canadians) and he can claim a wind while we all actually win. Especially is we do free trade within Canada and build a trans-Canada pipeline. So folks believe anything they are told, he whips up Americans ranting on our sy...

still trying to understand why you folks are going on about scoopers for a job of moving people...

Does hydro use the dash for bombing ? Or for moving people around ? If the former, they probably want more than a cgi simulation like the videos in this thread, probably want an actual airplane that can do the job. If the latter, why are folks thinking about bombers ?
