Re: Skylink Planes
Yeah I remember bombing around the arctic NDB to NDB trying to correct your track in a 20 knot gusty crosswind in a King Air. Some of the most fun I’ve ever had in an airplane! Good times for sure and don't forget those NDB circling approaches in oh so fun arctic conditions. :) I went from doing th...

Re: Do people still drive cross country to drop off resume's?
I did 14,000 km on the road meeting chief pilots and dropping off resumes and it landed me a job. An email doesn't let them know who you are and if they or their pilots and staff will like you.

Re: One of the truly good guys, Wayne McLeod has passed away.
So sad. Wayne was one the first Captain's I flew with back in 1999 when I got hired for my first flying job with Keewatin Air. I flew the PC-12, Merlin SW2A, Learjet 35A, and the King Air 200 with him at different times while I was at Keewatin/Critical Care International through to 2005. I will reme...

Re: Westjet CYHZ
There are many handy apps for an ipad or phone that will calculate crosswind/RFI and tailwind components by punching in a few numbers.
They should be included as part of the suite for pilots with EFBs.

Re: Flair Summer Expansion
Dont ever believe the quoted prices on their website man, that's the classic attitude that leads to people being taken advantage of by ULCcs, their hole business model is predicated on taking advantage of exactly that. When we did flights for Flair a few years back the passengers were mostly immigr...

Re: Looking for recent intel on Petropavlovsk - Kamtchatsy
Other than the incredible scenery what I remember most are the super hot English handler we had and the Mig-31s parked near the runway with armed guards, I still managed to take a few pics as we lined up to take off. This is going back 18 years when we had to fly the full NDB arrival to get into the...

Re: New CEO
I don't know how "low cost" Flair employees are now but the gist of what the new CEO is putting out there is that they might end up being even lower cost in his vision of a ULCC.
ULCC... "Ultra Low Cost Crews" and customer experience".

Re: Dislocated shoulder
I had shoulder surgery to re-attach a tendon to the humorous and it was a 3+ month recovery till I could reach the everything I needed to on the overhead panel. Once I could I got my medical back.
I believe that as soon as you are required to have surgery of this type you lose you medical.
