Re: Jazz AC FLOW

Hundreds of pilots got screwed by AC not fulfilling their agreement with Jazz regarding flow in the past. There’s already a thread on this. I suggest reading it to see how going to Jazz might limit or postpone your timeline at AC.

Re: Should Have Used Pitch and Power and Ignore the Warnings

Once you have unreliable airspeed, time to ignore the overspeed and stall warnings and fly known pitch and power settings. Airframe buffet remains accurate. Cruise thrust and pitch should be memorized and an early level off with an emergency declaration may be appropriate as you will have a greater...

Re: Air Canada Captain didn't have required license

All I can think of is that this pilot must have doctored his license. You would think that numerous training captains and ultimately ACP would have noticed if he still had CA****** numbered license. Also, don’t you need an ATPL for air Canada? This stems back from the very beginning. Human Resources...
