Re: WestJet almost puts one in the drink
What's the over/under on pilot nerds doing this approach on their Microsoft Flt Sim? Is it any wonder pilots are usually single?

Re: Demand for float drivers 2017?
Fewer pilots get into Float flying. Same as fewer people want to work trades jobs like Welder, Carpenter, Plumber etc. It's a generational thing. Take your own guess why? I have a pretty good idea why.

Re: Directive from Minister issued yesterday.
Well this really got off track. My concern is that operators are given a 1 month deadline in an industry where we have waited over a decade for the Regulator to make a decision on Lifejackets in Floatplanes and 406 ELT's. Are people dying as a result of Drunk Pilots? There are a lot things in this i...

Directive from Minister issued yesterday.
I have not seen this mentioned yet (Cut and Pasted below) It seems that the Minister is asking that Operators have a plan to prevent pilots from flying airplanes after drinking, before the end of next month? The Police use RIDE checks to catch intoxicated drivers using breathalyzers, they suspend li...

Re: Pilot demands 'common decency' after passengers argue U.S. politics
Wearing a Black Lives Matter button, is like wearing a KKK hood then when somebody questions it saying "I can't discuss politics in uniform"
The group has members openly promoting racism and the murder of Police Officers.
History will judge this hate group accordingly

Re: VP nominee Mike Pence's campaign plane skids off runway in New York
Nobody in there right mind would publicly support Trump. The risk of being hate shamed and terrorized by the Lunatic Lefty fringe is potentially career threatening. These terrorists attack anyone who does not hold the same Utopian, Victim culture they do. They have organized a Boycott of Yeungling b...

Re: low time pilot with a baby on the way
I use to think airplanes mattered. I now have 3 kids under 5 years old. It would never matter to me if I never sat in another airplane as long as I lived. Aviation is a life sucking, family wreaking racket. If you choose tin over your kid you will be very sorry.

"Dan and Kathy Schwartz were motoring slowly through the fog when they spotted a kayaker waving her arms. They approached to see what was wrong."
That should help clear up what happened pretty quick.

Oh I don't know about that. There are dozens of threads on here where people pile on a pilot for forgetting the landing gear?

Re: Seaplane regulation changes proposed
Whatever they figure. Lifejackets on occupants seems like a reasonable request? The government mandates seatbelt use, motorcycle helmet use etc etc. I don't see why a guy in a boat can get away without wearing a lifejacket, but a floatplane requires them? Oh well whatever? The egress course requirem...
