A Westjet (Encore) crew does it, and it's a "good learning experience".

LOL... and those guys HAD a clearance.

I know better to try to explain anything to Rickie... But I stand by it. Flame away and call me names. I just stated where the regulator mandates the responsibility lies. We are responsible for our passengers and the FAs assist us. Do you think someone is suing an FA after a safety incident? No, the...

Not at all. And it was a joke.

I just know who is responsible. You guys don't seem to mind if everyone is.

I think the limitations of the medium do disservice to the discussion, but I'll continue along the line just because. I'm not saying I don't rely on them. I'm not talking about CPR for a little old lady, or incapacitation. I'm talking about who holds the final responsibility. I'm talking about calli...

I see what you're saying. But sorry, FAs may act professionally, but it's not a profession. They may not like that, but it's a fact. Yeah. This crew did great, and I'm not criticising their action. But you're statement was wrong. The Pilots hold the ultimate responsibility, I don't "prefer" they "co...

There that's far more inline with CRM concepts, your welcome CRM might feel good and all touchy feely teamwork and stuff, but it doesn't change the fact of who the professionals are and where the buck stops with regards to responsibility and decisions for safety onboard. A competent flight attendan...

The FA's are responsible for the safety of the passengers, collaboration is of course preferred. With the advent of looked cockpit doors if the cabin crew feels it necessary to "elevate" the response I as the captain will both support and assist in any way possible. You got the cart before the hors...

All I can say about this, it is a traitor disease. Healthy living is a must! Diet foremost. More vegetables, greens and natural products. It isn't always that simple. Genetics comes into play for many with early onset hypertension. In some cases, an injury can bring it on. Despite healthy diet and ...

Incorrect. It's industry standard to say remain seated after a rejected takeoff, for example, and that fits none of the criteria you mentioned. I don't think he's incorrect at all. Also, is it industry standard? Common, maybe. But I don't think "standard." At my airline we say it for pretty much an...

I understand numerous people in shorts and flip flops evacuating at -20°...

Certainly a good reminder to wear clothing at least semi-appropriate to your route of flight and destination. Shoes and pants at least...

I know that's what they say. But they will be under pressure to bring something and since they say that they have no leverage... something will be sold off...

EMJs are planned to be gone by 2021 I believe... but we've have seen a lot of changes in the fleet plan. No doubt it will also depend on timely BBD CS delivery schedules, and (the big one) a place for the 190s to go - they are all owned with an average age of only 10 years. The company would like th...

What does Morningstar pay on the 757?

There is a lot of lost opportunity spending 3 years in a program to get where you already are. Commercial license with a degree... I would focus on getting a job where you are. If you want to immigrate to Canada get that ball rolling through the normal channels while building your experience and the...

"Most of us think it's a step backwards" I don't think that's the case. Maybe the Rouge Airbus pilots like to poo poo it. But I've flown with guys coming off the bus into a 777 who dis that too... cockpit/yoke/no tray table/etc... I for one am happy to see another fleet joining the airline, my expe...

I agree that anyone counting that the US will just throw the doors open is dreaming. There may be some hiring at some point, there has been in the past, but it will be metered and targeted and minimal. That's why we need to focus on wages here. We can no longer accept substandard pay increases or co...
