Re: Headsets

I use a Bose q15 with a uflymike, then on those deadheads at least I have a good pair of noise canceling headphones to watch a movie. The on board ones are ok, but on longer days I find start to pinch.

Re: Air Canada Interviews

I wouldn't worry about not getting another shot. Apply, do your best, best to do it now while the going is good in the industry, or the bubble may burst and you may regret having to wait till the next wave.

Re: Air Canada Interviews

Was anybody not able to get original copies of their transcripts? One of my schools doesn't even exsist anymore, being on the other side of the country doesn't make it easier either.

Re: Flight instructing vs Working the ramp. Doesn't add up?

Contract requirements, maybe the company wants somebody with time for a quick upgrade. Instructors are earning PIC time, generally making it easier to get your ATPL, which some company's want. In any regard, I know people that have gone each way, and years later, almost at the same time they are in ...

Re: Carson Air Ad

I don't give a rat's ass what the "bill" from FSI is, the pilot shouldn't be paying for it. You DO get that?
Well yes, I never paid, nor would I, I'm merly adding to the ridiculousness that there is even a discrepancy in the price, on top of a captains bond.

Re: Carson Air Ad

$17,500 was the bill I saw from flight safety for a 75 hour initial 350 type. The extra must be to get the room upgrade to a double bed.
