Seems to have changed. Mesa was a bottom feeder.

Anyone share what life is like as a new FO who is commuting. Would I ever be home? How many days off do you get? As it is right now I don’t know how commuters make it work. Everything is either 1. Oversold 2. Hours late or 3. Canceled. There's lots of room most days because everyone misses their co...

How there are pilots who actively pass on upgrades, other than for purely scheduling reasons, I will never understand. Employers who actively lock employees in the right seat, after having guaranteed the ability to upgrade are on par with pilots who fail to honour their training and make a lateral ...

General Practitioners, Orthodontists, Some automotive mechanics, small business owners, framers, etc.... anything that's per job. Those are usually self-employed/business owners. If they employ other people, those employees are paid per hour as well. Pilots are employees. In sales it's called being...

Airlines aren’t asking your gender, they are asking for your sex. This is for weight and balance purposes and nothing to do with gender. This is to meet legal obligations. If people have a problem go petition Transport Canada to get rid of weight by sex, and assign all sexes the same weight. Why is...

[/quote] The funny thing is though, the less productive a pilot is (fly slower, don't accept shortcuts etc), the more money he will make... Who else is paid based on productivity? Sales employees usually get a commission, but that's the only big group I can think of. [/quote] General Practitioners, ...

Didn't you say that about Westjet in 1996 too?

If we have to take days off on the road because of CARS requirements, they are hard days off. No calls, no work, drink all you want. We are then given the days back as lieu days to be booked off on the schedule. Fair deal I think. Exactly, I get my CARS reset while I'm drinking beer and then I get ...

I had wondered about ad-hoc passenger charter when I read this, but it appears to be setup as a freighter, probably a lot more efficient being twin engine rather than the expensive 4 engine Electra, they must be looking to break into some of the 737-200 market, lots of competition for that class. I...

The grocery store shelves are already starting to empty with fresh foods like fruit that come from south of the border by truck. If health care workers don't have a mandate why woul dtruckers who work alone except when they grab a meal and communicate briefly when they pick up or drop off a load. Is...

As of right now very, very few 705 operators are using the FRMS avenue vs the prescriptive regulations because the resources required are immense and there's only a few situations where it even works. The FRMS option is all but impossible to apply for Adhoc flying because the approval are for very s...

The benefit is to keep the positive cases out of the workforce and the schools. 81% of the positive tests are double vaxxed but that 81% s a very small percentage of the vaccinated general population. I had one coworker test positive and keeping them out of the workforce has kept the other 180 fligh...

Looks like another lovely day on the Belcher Islands...
RWY is 09/27 with LPV minimums of 250' and 1 sm.

Any of the aircraft with the life extension won't be scrapped at all. A Dash 8-300 is harder to find and more expensive than many -400's. It's a niche market aircraft with nothing to replace it. The ATR family just can't do great short field performance like a Dash 8 can.This country alone is full o...

WJ didn't just lay people off with the intent to rehire them once times got better: they permanently terminated their employment. https://calgary.ctvnews.ca/westjet-to-lay-off-3-333-workers-under-restructuring-plan-1.4998332 My guess is they hoped to rehire them at year 1 pay once things improved. ...

Would the Western world even care what's going on there now if the Taliban didn't treat women like garbage or dogs? Probably not

From the quoted article: The investigators found the plane in an inverted position on the runway, and destroyed by a post-impact fire. The inverted position makes it sound like a VMC roll :cry: Really?? That's a pretty big assumption considering airplanes don't really structured things in a crash. ...

This will show why.....

The live atc recording has a Bearskin airplane on the frequency for a long time. How were they involved? Bearskin landed on RWY 25 just before Mag Aero Commander took off Rwy 12. Nothing more. It could have been AC/WJ. Knowing Thunder Bay the aircraft were likely pretty close to each other.If you l...
