I can go to Barrie or Collingwood or Guelph to train, even the Islands, if it turns out that Brampton is a shitty place to learn. I’m not positive, but I believe the school at Guelph has been closed for years. The air park’s down the road from my place, and I don’t see anything other than private a...

Have the names of any of the new group been published anywhere on Aeronet? Curious if I know any of 'em.

WHAT'S WRONG WITH YOU PEOPLE THAT SIT IN THE LEFT LANE!?!

You MUST be in t.o.!! I'm in NY state right now, and the only bad drivers I'm seeing have Ontario plates. What a disgrace!

I want to know where they're getting this 1,000 ft drop from. Hyper-sensitive inner ear? Pocket altimeter? The Force?? At least they talked to a semi-reputable source in the form of that meteorologist... I guess no near-by farmers were available, as they typically seem to make the best expert quotes.

What a blast from the past! I live right under the approach for 25... I never thought the beige death tubes would find me down here!

So if I understand you correctly, we do deserve it... but don't deserve it...?

1: C-150 instructing somewhere around YKZ
2: SW4 right seat between YQT and YSB
3: Be99 left seat between YXL and YTL
4: Be99 left seat between YXL and YWP
5: Be99 left seat between YXL and YTL (noticing a trend here)
6: E190 right seat between YUL and YYT

Fun thread, Otter Envy!

Yup... and maybe you can remember everything just tickety-boo when the sun's shining and everything's rosy, but just wait 'til something goes wrong. Incredible how quickly you forget the routine stuff. I'm always amazed practicing malfunctions after t/o in the sim how frequently the lights stay on t...

Maybe Doc's right and the spars are about to buckle... I dunno... but I can say that I've never flown an airplane I trusted as much as that one.

I've sometimes found that if one person at Transport gives you an answer you don't like, asking someone else will yield completely different results. Could you have dealt with a different office, Cat, or did it have to be the one in your proximity?

My favourite run on that thing was YAX - YTL.

She's purdy.

Those loading chairs always made me uneasy (beyond just the obvious displeasure at carrying a large, fragrant person)... they're so unstable and wobbly, I always thought they were going to topple, trying to carry larger people. We almost dropped a guy in YSB who'd just come out of surgery and was ob...

2 cents from an airline brat: my old man was away a lot when I was growing up, and it didn't leave me all demented and bitter and twisted. (I don't think.) I think kids are tougher than we give 'em credit for... and if it's normal for dad or mom to be gone for a few days at a time, then it's normal ...

Hopefully she wastes a load of her own time and money with a suit that goes nowhere. (Just a shame about the court's wasted time.)

If this is a Boeing aircraft (and pre-911 unless things have not changed since then), The 'Crash' axe is 'factory' installed and located just behind the Captain's seat next on the observers jump-seat wall. Yes, but given the skipper's knowledge of the aircraft, could he not get to the axe quicker t...

I don't think locking the door is the answer... that's certainly not going to impress anyone, and while getting folks from A to B and of course safety is the captain's real priority, customer handling should be right up there too. I don't necessarily think his answers were the best either, but after...

WOW I must applaud the captain for remaining level-headed, 'cause I would have sent that idiot's camera out into the storm with him close on its heels.

I agree with Jacques and IABD... and for what it's worth, a friend of mine with a medical condition that caught the doctor's attention interviewed in recent history. Unfortunately it cost him a few course dates, but they finally put him in the sim with a senior flight instructor who gave him the thu...

I know I'm going to regret asking, but what exactly happened? And doesn't Cat Lake have the monopoly on burning down schools?

Squid: not what I'm saying at all. Open your mind.

Clothesliner: Congrats!!

The war cry of those with nothing intelligent to add to a discussion on hiring at AC, IMHO.

How original.

A friend of mine on the June course said they're all being given EMJ... dunno about the base. (Mostly YYZ I'd say.) Keep in mind that there's no up-bid freeze, so you can probably bid right off on the next bid anyway.

Oh man, thanks for posting that, Edelweiss... I hadn't been able to find it on my own!

"I will never recover from the after-effects of this flight."

And I will never recover from the stomach cramps I'm getting from laughing so hard!!
