Thanks for this. When I approve a resume I often ask the author to let me know how they make out. I have actually never heard from anyone so this is nice to see. Good to see that posting on here can make a difference but don't use this as your only resource, make sure that you new guys get a proper ...

My thoughts are of the families, friends and co-workers of these 3 exceptional people and of course those Avcanadians who knew and admired them. My condolences to all.

My wife gave me a glider flight as an anniversary gift years ago. On a warm and sunny day in June I went up for the first and only time. It wasn't that I didn't like the ride, quite the oposite, I loved it, but the cost of doing it was just too over the top for this cheap government employee.

I had moved this thread into mod area for moderation. The offensive remarks were removed but if it goes in the same direction it was I will remove the thread and pass out the appropriate warnings or banning. Please play nice in the sandbox.

You could be a part time paramedic in BC provided you have the training now. I say that because the training for PCP in BC is anywheres from 4 to 6 months depending on preceptor time and the cost for that is about $10 to $12 thousand depending on location and expenses. Part time in BC though is a re...

Probably a stupid question for which I already know the answer but, why would AC buy Brazilian aircraft and not purchase from a canadian company? Sorry for the thread drift. Just Pm me with your thoughts so this does not go south.

Thanks Flyguy, saves me the time.

So I have removed all the off topic comments. The bond issue has been discussed here Ad nauseam but if you need to open yet another thread about it do so. Remember to keep your comments respectful. For some reason this topic brings out the worst in some posters.

I think every parent struggles with this question regardless of what career you're in. I would not have wanted my children to become paramedics in B.C.. Anywheres else in Canada would be fine.

My wife flies a lot for business and avoids AC like dog poop. After being left to fend for herself at Newark Airport she vows to never fly AC again if she has control. Her Air Canada mantra is "Air Canada is not happy until you are not happy".

Give me the link and I'll nuke it for you.

As with any professional career, debt is unavoidable. From my experience with my son, you will not get rich in the profession but you will eventually make a liveable wage, it's surviving the in between that is the hardest part.

Over the years I have been one of the least active mods on here. Until recently I would let things go that would have easily had me booted from my professional board. When I do moderate I inevitably get a poison PM calling me names and worse. The rules are some of the most lax that I have seen on a ...

Time to put an end to this thread.

I am also on a southern vacation, I would add more but my rum is getting warm.

Water cooler is still locked and as this is not aviation related this too is done.

Locked by request of original poster.

Love the Beaver but hate the trip over the Coq. highway in the winter. Have one for me.

From Mrs. Bandaid and I all the best of the holiday season and much health and happiness for 2012. Hope you are all surrounded by loving family and good friends.
Cheers,

Cat, You seem to only point out the bare minimum amount of skills one requires to become a pilot. You fail to even accept that now days in order to become a truly competent and professional pilot, one must go above and beyond the simplistic view you take about what becoming a pilot entails. I shock...
