Hello, When I try to book flights operated by WS since this year (ex Sunwing) they just don't appear on myidtravel. Either ZED or Jumpseat. Do you know when it's gonna be available? Thanks! I found out that some of the flights (with certain European carriers) are not available to book if I select "...

I see this as good news, especially if it's any precursor to commercial air service returning to YGK. I miss Jazz going there, but at this point, I'll welcome anyone, be it Jazz, Porter or someone else.

It's funny when "Canadian/American" pilots complain about English proficiency, when they're the most undisciplined communicators in the sky, opting to use their own phrases instead of ICAO standard phraseology. I guess you haven't flown much outside N America. I would rate India as the most undisci...

WJ uses MayDay for every RTO, even the most minor of ones.

I'm not pointing the finger at anyone in particular. It's just a general observation about North America in general, especially in the US.

...Judging by the election results - the people of Romania don't share your viewpoint... I think you spoke too soon friend. Romanians DID share my point of view and Nicusor Dan got elected. Anyway... back to this topic. The wheels are in motion for me to change my Canadian license to EASA. Let's se...

I love reading the title of the post thinking "mmhh thats interesting, lets see what EU airlines people like", to just jump to the end of the thread and people talking about Tanks and army. Surreal :lol: This place is like a case study in high-functioning, aviation-flavored ADHD. One minute it’s “f...

It will depend on the requirements of the overseas airline's civil aviation authority. Some will just accept your Canadian license, others won't. If they don't, they likely will require a test by one of their approved providers, making it a moot point to get a test proactively in Canada. If you nee...

Hi,

I'm looking to get an official ICAO English assessment in Canada. Does anyone know who administers it? Somewhere that's officially recognized. I'm a native English speaker, but (I believe) I still need an official assessment proving that, for overseas airlines.

Thanks.

...Then there's Romania where the 'wrong' candidates have been removed from the ballot. These countries serve as a warning - Politicians aren't listening. A revolt is just a matter of time imho... I think you need to inform yourself better, friend. You haven't a clue what you're talking about. Do y...

I'd work for KLM Cityhopper (Is that "KLM", or a partner of KLM?). They fly great planes and go to interesting places. I just flew with them two weeks ago, on the E190... and I wouldn't have to work too hard to get a new type rating.

It's absurd to think that we're a match for Americans. They're the only ones protecting us from Russia and China... We'd have the Russians attack us the next day if we didn't have America's support. Absurd. You people need to live under the Russians or Chinese to see what that's like. I had 8 glorio...

HAHAHA! EXACTLY!

I've heard similar explanations before, but is that really the root cause though? Or is it that airlines are trying to capture more market share by intentionally offering lower costs products so more people will fly? I don't think current passengers' complaints are the reason for this new price str...

Let's see if my memory serves me correctly: In 1998 was the 3rd time I flew on an airplane. Before that, it was 1993 and flew BUD-PRG-YYZ on a CSA Tu-154/A310, respectively. That Tu-154 was absolutely amazing. The engines, sound... ... ah, let's get baack on topic. So in 1998 I fly from Toronto to F...

That is very cool! Mad respect to those boys for doing this type of work. I know the feeling of job well done. (Flew medevacs 5 years in Nunavut). Sure, it wasn't as cool as this, but still felt good to help people.

Do they have any "valid reasons" in asking for experienced pilots? I assume they're not tapping the foreign pilot market to hire guys with 200 hrs...

Air Canada was my one hope that things can be better in this country. The low (starting pay) and (high) cost of living in YYZ, YVR, YUL just makes this unbearable. Q: How will someone like me with a mortgage and a family be able to make this work? When is the reward no longer worth the effort? At wh...

Having over 1000 hrs on the E1, I can tell you I like the plane. I bet the E2 is even better. The question I have. Who the hell decided to design that yoke? It's the most idiotic thing I've had the "pleasure" to fly. 1. It's shape stupid (I get why. It's supposed to match your hands when they're "at...

Let's be real here. Everyone will vote based on "what's good for them". People will always put their interests before the well being of others. My guess is that it's going to be a 60% yes and 40% no vote. As a guy that wants to join AC, I hope they vote NO. What I wish is irrelevant...

Thank you for the clarification. I read that stupid thing twice and I couldn't understand it. It doesn't help English is not my native language.

Since the post was about a ''merger'' For greater clarity, in the event of any future declaration of common employer status and/or declaration of sale of business; purchase or merger of airlines or parts thereof; or other combination of flying operations under the Company, the seniority of employee...
