Re: Any professional pilots living in Kamloops here?

Hey Brady! Sorry, only just saw your reply. Hard to know where to start with CFC. Probably the most glaring thing is just being around Kamloops watching them try and operate an airplane. Being in the circuit with them is in my top ten most annoying things. However, I hear the instructor they have in...

Re: Any professional pilots living in Kamloops here?

Hey, I know this is an oldish thread, but I am a working pilot living in Kamloops. I work out of town on rotation 2 weeks on, 2 weeks off. My company has another pilot that lives here as well. For my particular family it is a pretty good deal and we make it work. I know Borek has a few pilots living...

Re: Crappy joke of the day

Three pilots are walking through the forest when they come upon a set of tracks. The first pilot says, "Those are deer tracks." The second pilot says, "No, those are elk tracks." The third pilot says, "You're both wrong! Those are moose tracks." ...The pilots were still arguing when the train hit th...

Hey guys and gals, I don't really understand the debate here. We all know that every member of the military is a highly trained professional, not unlike the MAT Captain and F/O or your float driver in the bush. So are most people in aviation. I partially agree with app flap. But only in the capacity...

Full time employment

Hey ICE, check your PMs...I sent you my resume and coverletter. Please consider my countless hours on Youtube as valid experience. I also have a really cool 'maglite.'

When can I start?

P.S. Get off avcanada and hit the books! That test isn't going to write itself!

When I switched over my license all I had to do was write the PSTAR exam and do an additional 2 hours under the hood.

But the night portion is a whole different story.

Hey istp and 'DUDE...I've got to agree with you guys. The kid already decided to go to Confed. Why are people still arguing? Who knows. But back to the aircraft age topic...I fly a 1952 170B often, and she flies beautifully. As far as I'm concerned, it doesn't even matter how old a trainer is, as lo...

U/S, I understand your concern for the state of the industry and for paying instructors properly...however, as a farm kid, there would have been no way I would've been able to get a license at the european rates. I know a lot of people who also had to pay for their flying out of hard labour. These p...

On that same note that gonfly'n said, a fellow student once checked the oil in a 172 and forgot to screw the cap back on, he got oil all up his windscreen...probably got distracted by something shiny during that part of his walkaround.

I landed in Cheyenne a couple years back to see the aftermath of a rushed walkaround...

...a nervous student left his left tiedown tied and swung his flightschool's Warrior into a brand-spankin'-new G5...I hope the poor guy had some money.

I have a couple of friends that work there.

Great company, they treat their people really well. They just built a great new facility and there is talk about a further fleet expansion.

Good luck on getting that F/O job.

Hey,

That's too bad to hear about the 150. What a waste of a good airplane.

So the closest place to Kamloops to rent is Kelowna then eh?
