the instructor had recently flipped a tail dragger also. that's two strikes in a relatively short time.

not that difficult to get in. it will cost you upwards of $40,000. once you're in they'll go out of their way not ot kick you out of the program (unlike the good old days). unless you keep screwing up again and again. students have gone off the runway and had prop strikes and they're still in.

I remember my friend not being hired by the current CFI because he had seen my friend's car slide in the snow, ending up against the chainlink fence in the parking lot. The CFI arguement was that my friend showed poor decision making skills and thus causing him to lose control of his car in the slip...

getting back on topic....Class 1 would get 42/hr, class 2 35/hr, class 4 maybe at 25/hr.
But if Dave don't like you your qualifications don't matter ....you're not getting in

they turned my application down. or rather Mr. former cop said that they have all the experienced instructors they need for now and are only hiring "fresh and eager" class iv's.

Sorry if this has been discussed before: I talked to Collectcorp in Toronto. They said that my credit rating was not affected by this letter and that it was Transport Canada's mistake to ask Collectcorp to send out those letters. The woman on the phone said Collectcorp is only trying to collect on b...

John will train you out of Canadian flyers or Island Air. Most of Island Air's instructors didnot do their instructor's rating at Mel's school. Instructors did go next door to Canadian flyers because Mel was playing favourites in assigning students. The guy that went up nort to fly a Falcon is now n...

Your brain is frozen from so many years of sucking old farts.

Big Red put ATI's furniture computers and desks inot a rental truck and shipped them to Markham. A shorth time later a lot of those same items where baack on the island under Canadian Flyers. Big Red had an agreement with Markham and Canadian Flyers. heard he would call dispatch to push them to rent...

The CFI at the island is a Class II. Can he teach instructor hopefuls?

Hey Morgan , where are you going?

"wasn't me " is right. There were backroom deals between mayor miller and Deluce. There will be a bigger and better ferry (imagine if the ferry is 100feet long and is used to get across 300 feet of water!!) and the permits for Deluce to operate his airline from the island. A lot of men in suits have...

yes, this is good for aviation. i plan to apply if things get going.
but if Miller didn't interfere the tax payers money wouldn't have been wasted and we would have a nice bridge across those 300 feet of lake ontario.

The initial installations for Deluce's airline, ie. offices etc. are already being setup. He has been around the island lately. I think his operation will be running by may 06. Meanwhile Torontonians got duped by Miller, the island squatters, the million dollar condo owners and the media into paying...

gelbisch i'm truly sorry about saying the majority of seneca grads quit flying after a couple of years ....i'll retract that statement. It should have said "the majority of Seneca grads whom i personally know because i went there gave up flying after a couple of years" Some are ATC's some went back ...

The majority of Seneca grads give up flying as a career a couple of years after graduation. Her majesty's money used to be wasted. Now, however, students pay about 3300/semester times ten semesters. So I think we'll be seeing a different attitude from seneca grads.

Jazz is asking for a high school diploma BUT 500 multi and 1000 PIC to go along with that.

Seneca now charges over 3000 per semester x 10 semesters. i wonder what the benefits are of going that route. added to this are costs for books daily transportation, meals, housing etc.

in the old guide if you had a 1 you still passed that ex. now a 1 means fail. they've eliminated the 0 and the 5 in the marking scale. that leaves you with above average, average , below average and fail. i think it is easier to mark.

any comments on the new guides. the engine fail. in the circuit, makes you think about whether a c-150 will make it bak to the rwy. commercial candidates are supposed to prepare the X-country planning in 45 minutes or less. forced is broken down into 2 exercises. you can fail if your not looking out...

Seneca now costs just about as much if you did it on your own. the subsidies have changed. still producing big egos though

if you are in the Toronto area let meknow. i recently applied for funding for a doc. on a completely different subject ...still waiting for a reply. would love to do a doc. on the "bad dream' that aviation in Canada is. anyone interested PM me.

good call istp. maybe you should write another of those "I am Canadian" commercials.

Watch "the Fog of War", read your Noam Chomsky, ask someone from Panama about the shanty towns that were bombed were hundreds died, read about Powell's change after witnessing the massacre on the "highway of death", let me know if any WMD have been found in Iraq. The closest we came to nuclear war w...

it was beautiful until you get to the "when you try to intimidate me " part. Vietnam was full of mistakes according to Robert Macnamara. Panama was a "surgical" operation designed to remove a former puppet of Bush Sr. Hundreds of innocent Panamanians died but the media did not report it. Iraq's "Des...
