Well speaking from experience, ( a former twin otter pilot at WCA ) the company was being run as a major airline and not a small operator. The upper management numbered almost as many as the pilots, all with big titles attached to their names and salaries to match. The pilots were marginalized and t...

I don't know what all the fuss is.... I fly the twin otter with - 20s. Its a solid powerplant (clearing my throat) for that airframe. Its never let me down ( checking for lightning ) it never quits when you need it most. :shock: What? Really!! I'm serious over here. And as for the avionics, its a tw...

Thanks for posting info from a site that we all have access to ... donkey!!

Well then..... anything is possible for you.


I'm bored waiting to go to CYRB.

Yes, some of that info that you posted did help. I was able to obtain a dhc-6 poh and familiarize myself with some of the systems on the airplane. PREP....... check ( to a cetrain degree ) My location in vancouver was a limiting factor. I bet having just a name on a resume can be disconsearning to a...

Don't know yet. I'll find out am post it.

Well nav Canada has called a meeting at the Surrey control Center at 10:00 on Thursday to address the problems and potential changes to the existing system. All those with a vested interest in the ifr goings in the lower mainland should attend.

LOL that cracked up the flight school! That might be on the desk top in the front office.

Don't know yet, all I know is that I am going up north.

Looking forward to see some of the approaches that I have seen on you tube. Looks like fun stuff.

Just pondering a name change. Any suggestions? Thinking something like arctic otter....... wheelskies............. .

Thanks ILS09 maybe next season.

And also, thank you Just curious. Looking forward to meeting you.

Signed ...............?

I know what you are going though, I get my students to call every mourning. I also call and its the same song and dance every day... "sorry, nothing untill 02:00 zulu." which is around when the freezing level decends to about ground level. Crazy how that happens every day. And another thing, I think...

Anyone else noticed that getting a training slot in the LM has been like peeling the bark off an oak tree? To add to that, now terminal has stopped giving out training slots on the weekend.
Call me crazy but I'm starting to notice the changes in the airspace already.

Can you imagine the video that will result from this guy flying a PA-28-180!

Hey bcguy2000

I'm just wondering how the heck to get noticed by MAT. I apply every week and receive no reply. Even like a scratch and win ticket a "better luck next time!" would be nice. Just joking around. I am really interested in working for borek, any advise?

Looking to hear from anyone with any experiecse, good or bad. I have some qualifications to get before they will let me in. Wondering if I should even consider it. Some history: I'm a ex bace brat that gets a hard on watching anthing (sea king included) fly over. I have been as far as the interview ...

Just logged my 1000th hour, flying over golden ears at 7000 feet. Beautiful day, month and year.

Let me know where you where when this monkey finally jumped off your hump.

To all of you who seem to thrive on starting arguments on this site (vref), when I mentioned that "I might be timing out as an instructor", followed by"not that its a problem". I know that you can't time out. I also the current air laws regarding the timing out of a pilot of an air taxi or charter o...
