I'm such a failure

This has happened in Canada before. A jammer was left turned on inside a car at a YEG parkade. I believe Industry Canada has the ability to locate such devices and the matter was referred to the RCMP.

Can these be operated single pilot?

Are the CEP available to new hires? How much are they?

He holds a Master's Degree in Soviet and Eastern European Ecconomic Studies. I think that qualifies him pretty well.

One thing not discussed vis-à-vis Canada and US pay is how the new duty regulations affect a pilots ability to earn. Prior to the pandemic OT was abundant and Canadian pilots despite our discount could make huge gains onto our base salaries. The new regs are a seismic sift for both Canadian companie...

I want to clarify these comments. If my airline assigns me to fly a WestJet route during the strike that makes me a scab? Do I have that right? [/quote] Crewbunk: I could not agree with you more. The "stink" of a scab never goes away. Time does not heal that wound nor does it lessen the memory of th...

What is everyone doing? A Cut Above wants 100 USD to ship two shirts to Canada. Ya-no!

Phantom flight bookings is the new thing. Airlines are booking passengers on flights that they know will not happen in the future. They will make trips that have appealing time slots to lure you in, or at smaller bases. Then month before your trip you get blindsided with a red eye or airport change...

3 honest questions here: I personally have never heard of a system wide rebid. Is there precedence in North America for something like this at an airline WestJets size? In the scenario mentioned earlier where Swoop Captains are remade as FOs what happens to their pay? If their pay is reduced are the...

Ummm, I'd characterize the gains as modest. Significant is a stretch in my neck of the woods.

Topic Bump The C919 was certified airworthy last month. Does anyone have some working knowledge of the aircraft? The Chinese do not have a reputation for innovation but what is the story here? The discussion from 12 years ago raised concerns about quality. Are these concerns still valid? https://www...

Great topic!

I am sure a lawyer would love to take money to argue whether these operators meet the definition of a cartel.

I don't know if $100,000 a year can be called "sunshine."

Does anyone know the record for number of job postings on this site ? This morning it stands at 777.

Doing it part time this would be an extremely optimistic timeline: 2 years to being qualified as an instructor with ~80K of debt. 2 years instructing at 30-40K/year. 2 years right seat at Jazz/Encore at 35-45K/year 4 years at Ac 55/65/75/85K 15 years at 150K+ (let's say 175K on average) Over 25 yea...

I think the way a college or association would work would have to be similar to say the college of pharmacists. The college is responsible for discipline and licensing of all Ontario pharmacists. You would basically have to give up SMS to the college who would take on that responsibility. The colle...

Did you hear the one about the 10,000 hour Captain who despite having the correct instincts was pushed by his employer into an unsafe situation? Quite a failure of the Encore organization.

The rules certainly get convoluted. Chew on this one: what if someone is trying to operate at a station where weather info is transmitted by AWOS only? I cannot be alone in my experience where the visibility reported by the AWOS is clearly worse than actual conditions. The rules say that AWOS vis is...
