Pine Dock and Gimli would be right enroute to Winnipeg.

Gimli has a restricited approach available as well.

Got mine at 250 hours, but wasn't one of those things I used unfortuneatley. Got my A now, still haven't used it...

Don't the green tailed tubes out of YWG fall into this grandfather clause with all of MBs northern short strips?

I've pretty well got to the point where if I have a mix of males/females onboard, I usually end up esitimating them all at the standard male weight... there are no "pretty princesses" being pulled out of where I go!!

[quote="LT"] So yes, I'm sure if pinnacle has a scheme, they manage to get you "internship" which is student visa..

Pinnacle is an American company anyways...no greencard, no work.

So if you were offereed a CRJ job you'd say no thanks, its crap???

SUUUUUUUUUUURRRRRRRRRRRRREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!

Transport wastes money because the government gives it to them.. Just like any other government job, a division is given X amount of dollars and its their duty to blow it or guess what... next time you don't get as much. I briefly worked computers for the government before getting into aviation, and...

Just wrote the ATPLs on the computer. I liked it better than the paper methid myself. You have an option to click a progress button which pops upa box showing all the questions you've answered. You can then click the ones you haven't completed (white in color vs green for completed) and it will take...

My Instructor rating ran me in the $6000 area, I contimplated the float option as well... Insurance on float planes is way outta control now... I know of companies who want 300+ just for a 206 or 185 The instructor route... better chance initially to get you flying, but just like the float rating, j...

I just finished my commercial ratings. I was wondering if anyone knows where I can buy a PPC on a Beaver? I really like to fly one, they sound like so much fun to fly. I figure that would make me more marketable to employers. Thanks Ryan. If you wanna BUY 300 hours on one it might make you a little...

At what point did everyone figure it was time for the next stage in their aviation career? I guess what I am getting at is, how much time did you have and on what type before you moved up to bigger and better?

The bad thing about any internet forum is any Joe can get hide behind their computer and do whatever they want these days... Banning someone doesn't do any good if they have access to a second or third computer, multiple email accounts, and an endless supply of made up user names. Like was mentioned...

Saw an article in the Winnipeg Sun yesterday... Winnipeg Flying Club trying to drum up business... "With a generation of baby boomer pilots ready to retire - including an estimated 400 Air Canada pilots by 2007 - the job market will soon be flooded with opportunies. Somebody's got to fly all those p...

Well I know of a not so hot looking one at an un-named airline that took 3 times to renew an IFR rating and later got hired at the same place... figure that one out?!?!?!?!?!
