... I just hope I don't come across anybody who pads their logbook, after I end up renting an A/C after over 2000 hours of flying in order to be legit. Cheers, R. Sadly, you probably will. One can only control what they themselves do. At the end of the day those with integrity rise above most of th...

Seems like all that kool-aid makes one a tad sensitive. Or just insecure?

Sulako, how did the ride go? (not trying to put you on the spot.)

Is that the voice of experience?

Flight & Duty time limitations would be a good place to start with TC.

What other options are there. Low time guy's have no barganing power in the industry. If I don't do it someone else will. And don't even try to tell me they won't Like I said. It's up to high time guy's in the industry to do something because flying is becoming a hobby for me and every low time guy...

call me what you want but its true. Its not the low time guy's that have any bargining power in the industry. IF your a hig time guy flying with a low time pilot who is flying for free BLAME YOURSELF YOU ARE THE CAUSE OF LOW WAGES AND A LACK OF RESPECT Wow! Someone peed in your cornflakes, eh? Deci...

Are you saying the Boeing Flightcrew Training Manual is detailing incorrect procedures?

Again, 10 kts 'fast' is different than a planned increment for given conditons.

Whatever it takes, I guess, to justify your own decisions Pimper.

Believe what you like, but your examples are not all nearly equal.

Your landing distance increase is not that simple, .80. The speed added to Vref is, of course, airspeed while your landing distance is actually a function of g/s. In your scenario, adding the 5kt to Vref in still wind conditions will increase landing distance. Adding 5kt into a 10kt headwind could l...

The feds have two options; the first and most likely is to prop up AC with interm financing, loan guarantees, grants, etc. to keep in running and able to attract the necessary investment. This option protects control of the domestic transporation system, and also plays well in Ont and PQ in the up ...

Now that wasn't very complicated.

This idea that the root of all that ails AC stems from employee, specifically pilot, wages is nuts. Is it contributory? Perhaps.

AC's problems run much deeper than the wage issue.

...At present Air Canada offers a lot better product than competitors flying transborder and international routes. Sorry but you'd have to pay me some pretty good money before I'd volunteer to suffer through the 'service' offered on Air Transat, HMY, Zoom and the like. I don't quite understand why ...

Here's a link for their 2003 results. You are pretty much right on the loss estimate. Can't go on like that indefinitely.

I'd hate to say but if AC does go belly up those flying for them will be taking jobs at a substantial decrease in pay. That’s if there are jobs to be had for all which I doubt. And the downward pressure on wages for the res of us will be increased. Jetsgo will be able to continue asking for money t...

I only know why I have never padded my time; I want to lokk back in my book and know it holds the truth about my career/experience.

In the end, it goes to the integrity of the individual. If you have a company do you wqant someone who lies and cheats working for you?

Why is it someone makes sweeping statements about a large group of people due to their experience(s) with the few 'dicks'?

No. Have initial interviewed twice before. Turned the second interview down the first time. Had too many reservations about working there the second time and it showed I guess.

TOD: 3 x Altitude + about 10 miles for decelerating at the appropriate times.

Or where the 'box' has the 't/d'!

The 2 books you mentioned will do you well for the technical stuff. Also some info on southern hemisphere wx and that around the convergence zone. Otherwise, be yourself. If you don't know the answer to a question, don't try to bs because they, of course, know the answer. Be sure they know CX is you...

Seen the 340-600 taxi by in LAX. It is a big bad boy. Looks much better than a 200 or 300 with the big fans.

Why am I stating the obvious facts that most shows on flying are so full of holes? I'm in the industry and thus have a familiarization with it. But, lets say I want to watch a show about farming. How am I to know that the info provided is accurate? [/i] Absolutely. This is when you realize anything...

As a federal ruling, whatever this means effects all air carriers, including WJ I believe.

Why don't you go directly to the source to find the answers? Ask if you can set up an 'informational' interview. Specify that and also how much time you would like (10 min?). Don't exceed that amount. Sometimes if you request an opportunity to talk besides when specifially looking for a job it is ea...
