Unfortunately, Miss Mae is right. I too was there. Pretty much everyone there was really pissed off. The Ont gov people don't know diddleeeee, and admitted so. Had to keep getting clarification on terms, never mind how the majority of us conduct business. And no, this has nothing to do with OSAP or ...

Zapotec, twinpratts posted the link earlier on page 4 of this thread. Kelowna Pilot: Yes, times do change, and yes, its really going to hurt a lot of flight schools, including mine. As of September, if this goes ahead, we will no longer be conducting CPL or Instructor ratings. Thankfully, the main e...

Check out the thread in Air Canada/Jazz forum called "Jazz Hiring" - its near the top as everyone's going balistic. Note my post regarding what will happen to variety of training avail, and Ontario gov just helping Mr. Dow at TC accomplish his objective of really controlling flight training. Kelowna...

The Ontario Gov, with no resistance from Transport Canada, is proceeding with its policy of including Flight Training Units in its Private Career College act. BC already has something similar in place. In Ontario it means that even though an FTU is Federally regulated and mandated (things such as em...

Kelowna Pilot raises an excellent point that several collegues and myself were discussing today. Note on one of the above posts the comments by the "honourable" " Captain" Jim Dow, head of Flight Training for TC. Mr. Dow is a product of the college system. And it becomes very clear with many of TC's...

"Down But Not Out" - Canadian Air Force publication, out of print for many years, but if you can find one of the ("aged" "seasoned" "old-timer" "experienced" - take your pick for handle) former forces pilot who still has a copy kicking around, ask if you can photocopy it. Geared toward aircrew and C...

Hey KFC pilot- seems like a great company to work for - years ago thought it would be my dream job - got a call from your CP late last week, invited me for an interview this tues 16th in YHM- got lots of details from him re sched etc, but have had to say can't make the interview (can't believe I had...

Some companies have a stamp with it all there, otherwise "I certify that all times flown in Company aircraft (insert registrations if few enough - we've got around 5-9 and always include them) from (date) to (date) are true and correct. sign, print name & license #. And apply company stamp, if any. ...

I can just see the TC response to an approach accident now..."..and despite the new improved regulations banning approaches under less-than-suitable (read skc, 6+vis) weather, the pilot(s) elected to continue the approach using their judgement to assess that the weather although reported as xxx was ...

Hey "IMPRESS" did ya ever figure that we're NOT TALKING ABOUT STRANGERS, these are real scumbags that many of us have had PERSONAL DEALINGs with, and been burned by them. Also, read carefully, most of us aren't knocking the poor souls sucked into working for them, we're simply trying to warn the unk...

Trey Kule Thanks for highlighting what I said yesterday to this fellow: WHO'S DOING YOUR TRAINING? I felt sorry that he was asking on this forum some very basic info that he should have been taught. Perhaps he is one of the more unfortunate ones who is told "they will be going flying next week, it'l...

Captain X Who's doing your training? They should have the answers to your (and Bob's) questions. Also, if your maintenance is local to you, do yourself a big favour and ask them to look at the maintenance manuals. Most of the diagrams in them are way better than what gets provided to pilots in the A...

Canda Customs and Revenue Agency - ie the tax people that we report (or not) to each year by April 30 - the ones that take lots of our hard-earned $ that should really influence how we vote (and influence more of us to actually vote)

Bizjet- Something to do with Detroit, and changing some of the arrivals there - too conjested thru YQO and Hadar with CLE/BKL and CAK/AKR, and then YYZ traffic down to DAY, Columbus etc. Looks fairly permanent, and makes sense, unless you're going to YIP. (But even with the old HADAR, still wound up...

Bizjet - that's what it used to be..... now its to pices, pices arrival....had this new clearance 3x in last 3 weeks "waterloo 2 pices, pices arrival......" (GPS equipped) Heard mesaba get "waterloo 2 YXU, pices, pices arrival...." (spelling of pices? don't have the chart here) this was in use befor...

Had just landed in Windsor, sent pax on their way across the border to Detroit in their rental car (it was faster to land in YQG and drive over, than land at DET or DTW for them), when walked in and saw 2 other crews standing (since when do we ever stand, its not cool!) staring at the tv, watching t...

If you've been paying attention for "the last while" while you've been "enjoying the posts", you'd realize you've just set yourself up to be jumped all over...... :oops: Take this thread to the Employment forum, check out the Free Jobs forum, do a little research on LOTS of past threads and save you...

We've used them 2x for subcharters when nothing else was available. (last time was over a yr ago, called for a quote this spring, but didn't use them) Dad (G. senior) flies the airplane, son (G. junior) flew right seat 1x, another time was someone else. Remember seeing something that lead me to thin...

Make sure they're nice and long, so people like Cat can use them....
And cotton - more comfy for us types who like to sleep in them. And yes, black and white go with anything, any time of the year.

I give up - 5th attempt at posting
