Looks like a 3/4 scale home built replica.....

(but he forgot to install the struts and bracing wires)

C'mon.....enough is enough! Executive compensation is a red herring, something the IAM, ACPA and all AC unions, for that matter, focus on because it's easy to mislead their ill-informed members and raises the emotional pitch helping unions indoctrinate/brainwash their membership. From the Air Canad...

It has been many years since I looked at the Licencing Privileges but I seem to remember that many years ago you only need to be type rated on aircraft over 12,500 lbs, and only if you want to carry passengers. The Regs today seem to be more restrictive. http://www.tc.gc.ca/eng/civilaviation/regserv...

Flying this aircraft is pretty much a non event, so if you have no twin time why can't you go to a flying school in YOW and get an instructor there qualified to fly twins to fly it. There must be 500 people in YOW qualified to do this trip. And I beleive there is a flying school in Cornwall. Becaus...

It will be managers I'm sure!! Also before your so quick to accuse the pilots maybe you should take the time to watch the lang and o'leary report from March 20th. The president of ACPA takes the time to talk about his concern over the job losses of the professional group of employees who maintain o...

Let me know how picketing Ratt's office goes if you show up there in Uniform. One of our Jazz pilots tried to show up to a town hall meeting where Raitt was, he was in uniform and was promptly escorted off the premises by the local police before he even got in the door. I find it hard to believe he...

No, the tail is different from a Nomad..... Here is one that might stump everyone. http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y17/msowsun/Aircraft/IMG_9659aaa.jpg http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y17/msowsun/Aircraft/IMG_9660aa.jpg http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y17/msowsun/Aircraft/005aa.jpg http://i2.phot...

If the below statement is true....AC has a ways to go before the mess is cleaned up. Air Canada pilots have always gone the extra mile to keep the operation going. We are constantly doing others people's jobs for them. We usually show up in the flightdeck about 45mins before the flight and as soon ...

shameful...in fact a total disgrace. And is this cap in effect until you reach the 320 series? Are the new hires part of the pay group till they get off the rp, or right seat of the embraer? No, newhires NEVER really are free of Position Group.... Any pilot hired after 2003 is always subject to Pos...

I'll let someone else answer the first two because they are relatively easy...

The last one looks like a Howard 500 conversion of a Lockheed PV-1 Ventura http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Howard_500

Looks like a PBY/Canso after a bad landing....or one of my landings. :wink: This happened after a water pickup was aborted when one of the engines started acting up. (one of the engines had a bad jug ) The ventral hatch door popped open during the takeoff while trying to get on the step. May 1984 o...

Okay, then you need a more difficult one.......

Here is a photo I took in 1984 of a "semi-submersible" aircraft.

Very good! Those were all shot 2003-2004 during my time with Vietnam Airlines.

Here are three...............

A lot of guys get hired at AC with high time. They don't want, or need the stick time. There have been some recent new-hires placed directly on the 777 as RP's. They only work 9 days a month! (even the junior ones on reserve!) MANY new-hires would gladly work 9 days a month and see the world, rather...

I think you are making a BIG mistake if you plan your career around a few anonymous posts posts on a public forum.

Talk to a 767RP and get the straight scoop.

There is no "ACPA" Forum. That was shut down by ACPA about 2-3 years ago?

You are consusing the old Forum with a new Forum called "AC Pilots Private Forum" (nothing to do with ACPA)


It is back up today: http://www.acpilotsforum.ca/index.php

I've been reading the Air Canada pilot's forum. Individually and as a group we still haven't got a clue. EXAMPLE: .................................................. Example removed. I thought that since the quote was not attributed to any one person, and that anonymity was preserved, there would no...

No one has to get laid off. You could just slow down a little on the massive hiring that is going on right now.

Most pilots reaching age 60 today started their careers in their early 20's and have seen their working conditions constantly degraded over the years. After working for 35-40 years, I can appreciate why they have had enough. Those of us who were hired in their 30's, and even early 40's, have worked ...

Did you ever stop to consider that a pilot's desire to work past 60 may have nothing to do with money?

When the electricity went off, it caused a problem with the boiler. The power came back on, but for some reason they couldn't get the boiler restarted. That is why they needed to heat the hangar with the portable heaters.
