I never did, I just looked on the transport Canada website to make sure he was the owner, and got an AME to give the plane a quick look over. You're confusing "title" (ie ownership) with "registration". Common mistake. A leasee would show up on the TC website and could sell you the airplane. Then, ...

Yep. Sad but true. Best way to run them once overhauled is on condition. Run them until they start making metal or are losing power. You can probably get 2x the overhaul time out of them. By then, most major components (crank, cam) may be beyond repair, but you've still saved a bunch of money compar...

The biggest peak is in 2037.

My formal education consisted of having completed grade eight. Well that explains a lot. Relax, I'm just joking. A grade 8 education back then is probably what a grade 12 education is today. Most grade 8's can't even string a sentence together these days. The university graduates can't even do grad...

That's a really dumb decision by the company. If I was the pilot I'd send the stuff off to the company's own insurance. Since employees are always covered (vicarious liability), the insurance company would likely have to provide the pilot representation and the company would be the one footing their...

And there was the crew who wrote off an RJ in YYZ due to a hard landing and I believe both of them were still flying with Jazz after that one. Captain stayed at Jazz but forced onto Dash 8 because of this. Rumour is FO went to WJ. Captain was a fantastic guy. He just made a dumb mistake and coupled...

Maybe, but a thought that might put you at ease a bit more: in the end it is all about money. If you crash an A320, you will never make enough money to put a dent in that damage, even if you caused the damage. You'd probably be in more trouble if you crash the boss's 206 due to your gross negligenc...

I failed my PSTAR. I seem to have recovered.

We're not lawyers- no one cares about your marks.

Having said that, if you're someone who consistently has difficulty passing exams, you're going to have a difficult time on type rating courses.

Personally I avoid TB, that place killed Terry Fox after all.

Lol. We kill a lot of people. http://www.chroniclejournal.com/news/lo ... 9de97.html

Careful getting fuel in Thunder Bay. The main FBO is Shell and they charge $2.45/l + some other charge + $70(!) just for showing up on the ramp to get fuel. Looks like someone new purchased the Shell dealership. The $70 is supposedly a daily parking charge, but if you come back later in the day for ...

The US navy thing was likely a software glitch. It was only ever seen through the helmet and never visually and started shortly after a software update. If you look at a couple of the NY Times videos, it actually appears stationary while the tracking moves very fast because of the motion of the airp...

Heli ski guide. There's a lot of qualifications you need though.

You won’t be asked to present a PGI on instrument flying on an initial class IV instructor ride so don’t worry too much about it.

I know someone that had to teach navaids on a class 4 ride.

Did I ever say I wanted to fly MB Airplanes? No. I asked about various companies pay. Pay attention jack ass. Not cool. Actually you asked 3 convoluted questions in your original post. One of which was: Do you apply to Airspray or is it the European owner or whatever that runs the show? which was a...

If that's the case you need to find another school.

A school is supposed to have a training program/syllabus. Ask to see it and ask to see where you are on it.

That depends. Are you flying regularly? If you have 50 hours over the last 10 years, that's a problem. Can you consistently land the airplane without the instructor saying anything? I had a student once that I solo'd once after many hours, but after that he was too inconsistent to send again. Does t...

I have heard that Clive is going to take the money from this sale and team up with Tim to finally launch that new Ultra Low Cost Carrier. I heard Mark is joining in and they will be flying NEO's. AC and WJ's days are numbered. Lol. Because they're all old pals and Onex forgot to put non-compete cla...

Thanks guys. You've really emphasized that WestJet and Encore are separate, and we're not on the same team. I can't speak for everyone, but I for one am done helping you, and I'm going to take every small opportunity I have to jab back at you. To the guys who used my jumpseat to get home on the las...

Agree 100% Mark my words: in 5 years, we will recognize that this decision will be the one that comes back to bite us. I remember the days clearly at Jazz: the Jazz MEC doing everything they could to attract mainline flying and the AC pilots lowering the bar trying to keep up. First our company thre...

I like the way you think.

I would imagine that you could get on with a reputable operator and upgrade shortly.

I've been out of the FTU scene for some time, but does $379/hr for a DA20 seem a tad high? I would have thought half that amount would be on the high side for the going rate.

That's not quite how it works. You don't go to a flying school to get ATPL hours. You get a CPL and get a job thereby building the required experience.

Here is a case dealing with this exact thing:
