The 67 was a beauty. The lifestyle and pay at the LCC will be missed. People will still travel to warmer destinations especially in the winter. Most of the people here needs to log off and do something more productive or fulfilling. Cheers!

Interesting perspective, thank you. Actually I highly respect Cmd. Hadfield. The time spent making the video is tribute to that. There is no gain as my channel is not monetized. This is purely fun.

Canadian Astronaut Chris Hadfield is no stranger to being in isolation.
During his time in the space station he shared with the world what's it like to be in space.
Here is my take on his top 4 tips for dealing with a crisis.

While the Canadian airlines have shut down international passenger travel. Emirates and LOT were spotted arriving in YYZ. This is a good sign and we are heading into the summer months. People want to leave their homes and travel. Maybe Canada will follow shortly.

There are better ways to make money during a layoff than click-bait youtube links to videos that don't include any of your own content. Do us all a favor and stop posting links to your own youtube / call center. Or if you insist on posting links, at least make them original, interesting, factual an...

Avianca recently filed for bankruptcy. The Colombian government has yet to step in.

Here is what you probably didn’t know...

Sad to see these go after the airline spent $100 million in retrofits last year in 2019.
Here is a cool tribute video.

A compilation of the workhorse B767.

PPL training can be overwhelming and I’ve been there myself. What worked best for me: 1) Do practice exams to get used to TC type questions. Passing the TC exams is a wording game more than knowing your stuff. 2) Print the PPL study guide and highlight every section as you learn it. 3) You don’t nee...

To the OP. Dude I think it’s the best time to start in this career. Even with the global pandemic. Why? Because right before that the major airlines were hiring like crazy. Those needs haven’t gone completely away but it is on a temporary halt. Every month there are between 10-20 pilots retiring in ...

I think the public won’t put up staying home for much longer. It goes against your civil rights to tell you how many people can gather within your own home. The prolonged affect of isolation will cause more damage than being infected. We live on an economic planet. The economy needs to keep moving f...

During this abundance of free time you can learn and add on more skills to make you more valuable in the marketplace. To me going to get a degree is NOT one of them. By the time you finish your “higher education” it will already be outdated. Then you will join the countless other people with a Maste...

Great job to the crew. Smoke in cabin and cockpit.
6 mins from takeoff till reaching back to terra firma. Evacuated on the runway. A well trained crew is the best safety equipment.

Hello everyone and thank you for taking the time to read this; I’ll just get right into it, I currently fly a twin otter in the right seat and have about 1700TT starting on the twin at 200 hr fresh. My chief pilot offered to check me out in the left seat this summer when my PPC is up. There is no p...

For reference, I turn 30 this year. A bit of my background: I have always had a fascination with flying, and spent a lot of my childhood around small airstrips as my Dad was a hobby pilot (gliders, microlights, and a couple of Cessna's). As a kid, I was convinced I'd be an airline pilot one day, bu...

I haven’t flown for almost 2 years due a bad family emergency but I kept all current (medical, IFR), have my ATPL with good amount of total time. The problem is where ever I am applying either no answer or answer with what I have been doing for last 2 years??????? I do have FAA (Flight Instructor R...

Bro! use it as motivation to do better next time. Pain can be a great motivator for doing well. Presently in aviation flight experience is only part of the equation to getting hired. The other ingredients are a good attitude, first impressions, ability to ask for help, CRM skills, and ability to sel...

Keep reapplying. A ‘No’ means not now. Don’t let it wear you down. Do your best next time and in the meantime enjoy your life and work on other things meaningful to you. Your job is just one aspect of your life. Your fitness, finances, and relationships are equally important.

All the best!

How long does it take to get the PFO after the interview?

It was 4 months for me to get the PFO. The email was gently worded. It was more of not now, but maybe later.

Don't try and predict anything. This past summer I was called 1 week after my interview, to start PIT 2 weeks later. OTS. The girls in HR are very warm, welcoming and professional btw.

Very True. Also I’m sure your SWG pic time was music to their ears.

I’ve always said this would happen. It’s the next logical step for Canadian aviation. Most of the other countries you don’t have to “pay your dues” up North or work as a flight instructor. You simply finish your training and get on with an airline in a mentor ship role. Sit as a Second officer and ...

So what? Go get a diploma. How much easier do you need it to be? It's 126K This would only be logical if you went straight from high school Imagine paying for living expenses on top of this, if you don't have rich parents you can't afford this First pay 40K for a degree Than go pay 126K plus let's ...
