Work is underway to get them on the OC at this time.

If Canadian North is advertising the position then it is for Canadian North aircraft.

On Westjet, it's $2.50 for the reciprocal pilot agreement plus AIF and security fees. Hell of a deal and I try to pop my head in to say thanks if I have the opportunity. Previously we had to use passes and go through the hoops... now we make a phone call and list ourselves... much easier! AC has bee...

The green player in Manitoba is partnered with a company that did international medevac work as Critical Care International a number of years ago.

I'm sure it wouldn't take too much to get it back up and running compared to starting the operation from scratch.

Tier Two First Officer: greater than 1500 TT and 500 MPIC
all aircraft types: $30,000/annum base plus mileage

Captains – All Aircraft: Year #1 $30,000.00 / annum base plus 0.10/ mile

Something a little wrong there.

So the Captain, who is flying with the "experienced" F/O(most likely a former instructor with no 703 experience), makes the same base salary... very nice !

Obviously, synthro has no clue about how this industry works.

Once they saw the wall getting bigger in the windscreen they probably ran towards the back of the cabin screaming like little girls!

I was enjoying a tour of the CC-177 flight deck yesterday afternoon in Inuvik with one of our F/A's. What a machine and my first time looking through a modern day military HUD!

In the sim!

Yup... north of 60 there is no approach ban based on ground visibility. If there is RVR ( R unway V isual R ange), Yellowknife for example, the approach ban is in effect. 1600 RVR is the limit on the ILS. If there is a R unway V isual R eport, reported by another pilot for example, along with a grou...

Even with TCAS I'll always look outside and for the most part the first thing we see of the closing/crossing traffic is the contrail, if there is one, and then it's dependent on aspect and where the sun is for a visual at longer distances.

I heard that Canadian North will be putting their own crews on the -8's once they have the opportunity to get the crews off the Boeing and trained up on the 8's.

I'd be applying to Canadian North if you want to fly a Canadian North machine.

Gotta do what ever is necessasry to make the ACE numbers look good for the next quarter!

No 200 hours pilot is able to land solo, with a small piston or turbine twin, on a runway covered by ice in a 35 KT crosswind. No seasoned and highly experienced arctic medevac captain would land on an ice covered runway with a 35 knot crosswind either. :roll: Asia is going to be a very scary place...

Hopped into a Learjet 35A with just under 1000 hours and realize how rare the opportunity was but still have thousands of hours on turbo-props.

I agree and think they are refering to pax capacity.

Actually, running over 100 km/h on that big wide piece of ice and drifting around the corners in a 4 wheel slide was fun, fun fun!

Had a Caribou burger in town then drove back knocking over 30 minutes off my time out... wife had white knuckles but... fun, fun, fun!

I drove the ice road to Tuk...

yup

It was a fantastic job when the operation was known as "Critical Care International". Since then there have been far too many reported incidents and close calls... too bad really.

Seems like the biggest thing about a 777 is the ego of it's drivers.

I'd rather sit on the shitter and have a big easy one wiper.

This is the toot your horn thread from hell...

Low time and young turbine captains just shows you the state of the industry right now... I'm afraid!

My name is Joe... I fly shiney airplanes... big ones!

Resurrected is more appropriate since they operate a former CP Boeing and have a former CP driver on board.

With that nose and the new design windscreens it doesn't look like a Boeing anymore.
