I knew him. I hadn't thought of him or is airplane in years, except for one day last week.. Before the accident.. Weird.

En route from YWG to YEG today, about 50nm east of YXE (just south of CJU4, Humboldt) ATC advised us of a balloon in our area, descending at 3000fpm thru 70,000 feet. The next report he said it was just thru 60,000 feet. We never did see it, but gave it a wide berth nonetheless... I've heard of peop...

Anyone know where I can find the Cap Gen in pdf format?

I am gonna use that one.....

I heard Blue 49 Heavy on Winnipeg CTR yesterday, talking about escorts and what type of formation, and then he asked if he could connect to ??? uplink. Center responded that he was unable the ??? uplink, but would check with the next sector... Anyone know who Blue 49 Heavy might be? US Military maybe?

altiplano: I would love to have had a job where I could have had some PIC, but it just didn't work out that way. Now I'm at my career job, and I don't want to leave to get some PIC, cause they won't let me come back! Cat Driver: Thanks for your input. Your insight into how TC works is always right o...

Cat Driver, the reason I'm asking is because I've hard of people getting waivers for different things.... All my time is right seat on 2 types over 12,500, so I don't have hardly any of the night pic required. I'm just trying to find a way to avoid having to shell out $$$ to rent a 152 and fly aroun...

I'm curious to hear if anyone has ever applied for a waiver for some of the ATPL requirements.

ie. The 100 night PIC, or the total time because of aircraft types etc...

What was the process?

PM me with the details.

My favorite position report goes like this... We're 30 miles back from somespot.... what f-ing direction is back? How can I tell if you are a conflict? What if I'm 30 miles "back" too? How about 30 miles NORTH of somespot. And VFR pilots should know where VOR's etc are.... just because you are fat d...

9? 8 plus 1? How about 8 prone rest is required by the CARS. It is up to the company to provide a reasonable amount of additional time for personal stuff. Our company gives 11 hours when at home base, and 10 hours while away from base. Can you imagine living in Toronto and only having 9 hours from e...

What kind of security do you think they had in Nouakchott?

The same kind that they have in northern alberta.... which I've read lately is perfectly safe!

Wow... James is the Cheif!! I've known James for about 4 and a half years, ( I almost worked for him once) and I have always known him to be a straight shooter, and excellent at what he does. He asked me my favorite interview question of all time... "What is your favorite football team?" "Pfft.. The...

Canadian North is a great company. They used to contract out their dispatch to Skyplan Services. They must be starting to do it for themselves... If they are hiring, and you are looking for a good dispatch job, I would go after it!

I am pretty sure that the labour code says something to the effect, that if a company wants you to wear a uniform, they are to provide it to you... as well as pay something for you to clean it... the caveat is that it remains the property of the company... oh well.. my 2

My un-favorite waste of air....

Centre CGABC "with you" ...

DUH! If Centre can hear you, isn't it obvious who you're with???

I LOVE throwing out the WILCO whenever I can... I think it is so underused..

Kinda like TALLYHO

Actually, the X-Box seems pretty popular at CMA... but mine is not in the basement, and this is definately not my Dad's house. (I get to drink the milk straight from the jug!) The wages can't be all that bad since there are a few 200 hour wonders with new 360's! Maybe CMA pilots are just smarter wit...

Very cool!!! Thanks

Anyone out there know how to do this? Without having to pay fees and crap?

How about a fund to stop new pilots from whoring themselves out!!! Or how about a fund to stop people from learning to fly in the first place.. "You wanna be a pilot? I'll give you $1000 just to walk away right now and never come back!" Here is the best idea, someone cut me a cheque for my own stoop...

It can be a rewarding career... Tons of problem solving and enough interaction with other people to keep it interesting. The salary ranges from minimum wage, to over 80K per year at AC. WJ - 40 - 60ish, living in Calgary Jazz 30 - 60ish, living in Halifax AC 50 - 60ish, living in Toronto If you want...

Now... Dispatcher

All in name of trying to get a fu'n flying job.

Gonna be soon... Flying (& Working at Timmy Ho's for extra cash.)

Has anyone ever looked at this book?

I can't seem to find much information on it, author etc...

Does anyone have any input?

Rock On my Nizzle, the Soul Plane!

"Experience commensurate with Age" .... what if flying was your second or third career? Maybe the 50yr old with 8000 hours started later in life! Who could ever believe that a pilot with other life experience could be worth as much as some punk who started flying when he was 19, and has 8000 hours b...

Question on this thread... My instrument rating was years ago... I need to write the INRAT again. After I write the INRAT, do I really need to do a renewal at the flight school, or will the instrument renewal / PPC cover it? Seems to me that I should be ok, and I should not hand J Mo any more of my ...
