Re: Any planned hiring this year?

A reduction bid just means they are fat in some bases and skinny in others. Screenshot_20250222_191336_Slack.jpg Do we even have any hint on what the alignment will be? Im expecting to be on the short end of the stick in terms of being pushed out of my base, and im starting to think about a game pl...

AEROCOURSE

Im going to be taking the aerocourse to prep for my upcoming ATPL exams. I was hoping to get an understanding of what is covered throughout the few days. Do they focus on the content of the exam? Or more so on how to respond and dissect the questions that you can expect to get?

5th Edition of Aerocourse workbook

Currently studying for the SAMRA but have been using the 5th edition as I bought it for the IATRA a few years back.

Is it still an adequate source to study? Or should the 6th edition be used since I know thats been released.

TIA.

RHO/RHO - RHO/THETA Questions on SAMRA

Firstly, does someone have a way to dumb these down a little bit? I simply can't wrap my head around what these are/or do. Besides the fact that one is DME/DME and one is VOR/DME. Secondly, any idea if these are still brought up on the SAMRA? Trying to decide if I should dedicate time to understandi...

Claiming a bond repayment?

Has anyone had success at listing a training bond repayment as an employment expense for their taxes? If so how is this looked at by the CRA? Genuinely curious as I've gotten mixed answers from them.

Lost a RAIC. Will i have issues applying for a new one?

I recently lost my RAIC, and was unable to find it before leaving the job. It was classified at Failed To Return. It was reported lost with the issuing office.

Im starting a new 705 job in a few weeks that needs a RAIC from a different airport. Will i have issues applying for a new one?
