It was in YXU this weekend for the air show. Not sure if it was on the ground in between shows or went elsewhere

In regards to DFC, Bill is a great guy with a great team. You must keep in mind here that they are not totally in the business of off the street training. If that's what you're looking for then you'll pay a little more. DFC is set up with the Western University Pilot Program which is a professional...

Thanks for the replies, very insightful

Anybody out there aware of what equipment and base new hires have been getting as of late?

Same here, please and thank you

If you get hired on widebody = widebody pay scale If you are put on two aircraft = widebody payscale Those that are straight narrow body are so few there are chances that the narrow body pay scale may be eliminated during the next contract which is due this spring. Assuming there's a new contract i...

Anybody care to share current info on pay, schedule and upgrade times? Thanks

So when will this Canada Gazette II be published?

It sounds like a scam/fraud operation and should probably be reported to the police: http://www.rcmp-grc.gc.ca/scams-fraudes/rep-sig-eng.htm Either that or we should all get together with pitchforks and run them out of town :evil: Again, these guys have been running for a few years now and we all k...

While I agree that schools like this be reported and put out of business, especially if they are under the Private Career College Act - see if this helps the students - http://www.edu.gov.on.ca/eng/general/new.html, and search here and see if the school in question is listed - http://www.edu.gov.on...

Awsome, that's a relief. Thanks

Actually, over the years I have become quite chummy with the company who handles TC's nonpayments. The company that takes care of it is actually just hired to make phone calls, it doesn't get sent to collection. Although that's based on my experience, and I have only let one of those goddamn bills l...

After your PPL application has been submitted, you can have the AP sign an SPL for you. That will allow you to still fly in the meantime while waiting for approval. You can only excercise the privliges of a student pilot, however the time you do accumulate will count towards the issuance of a CPL. W...

nope.

what blows me away is there are some instructors whoring themselves out there still. they're still flying!

If your planning on working at Maylan, make sure you have some free time to work at McDonald's

Is this an opinion or are there some parameters for this remark?

After watching that video, what are the odds of your average 152 (non aerobat) or katana being able to do a loop at all, let alone a high aoa loop?

In the winter, with the temperatures being below freezing most days, can you file IFR and bomb around in and out of clouds as it is visible moisture.

Or can you only fly IFR in winter if it's SKC?

So by that theory, you can't file IFR all winter long? (unless it's VMC)

Training flight, both pilots ok. the gear collapsed on touchdown but it looks to be more or less intact still. The double engine failure call was made about a minute after the single engine failure. begin speculation!

Just had a Portobella mushroom and steak panini with Spicy Tortilla Soup for lunch.

Everything's great but I recommend the fish and chips, best i've ever had and I was in Nova Scotia for the summer!

Hot off the press!
Just found it yesterday!

by the way, what study material did you use, I'm having a hard time deciding if spending $200 + on C*******s is really worth it, instead of weather command, turbine PM, etc.
