DOH I know that AC doesn’t have a seniority based on date of hire, but maybe they could find a equivalent ( those who postponed their hiring for 1 or 2 years could get the equivalent of the earlier date and the ex Canadian could get a fictional date to match their seniority).

Honest question...

Why do you think you deserve “better” than DOH?

I’ll keep doing 1-7 if you keep doing 8

A couple quick questions for the airline pilots out there. I’m trying to get a general feeling for the experience/airmanship level of my colleagues around the world. For any transport category jet, how many of you would: 1. Engage an autopilot with a stick shaker active or any other signs of unrelia...

Pretty sure the media have quoted a press release from Ethiopian Airlines on that. I don’t think the report has been released...do you have a source?

Figure 15 on page 50 says it all. Basically the FPA mode achieves the desired descent angle in still air - works most of the time when the wind is not too strong. One would have thought that FPA would be referenced to the touchdown point with GPS or IRS providing corrections. However the aircraft w...

Superfriendlyav8er...quite the first post...brevity does not seem to be your forté ;) This fin did not have any sort of predictive wind shear protection. Also, I will delve deeper into the manuals, but as I said before, I am almost positive that an aircraft on this profile would not have produced a ...

Also, Air Canada has numerous checks throughout the descent and approach when correct altimeter settings are confirmed. To have 29.92 is just about as unlikely as a meteor knocking them out of the sky on short final. This wasn't at Air Canada but I was sitting on the jumpseat watching as my 2 colle...

Golden eagle, Once the pilots break out, the approach is continued visually (with the aid of the PAPIs). You are assuming they broke out. With a 270 foot or so altimeter error, they could have ended up at that location without ever breaking out. Ok, I have edited this to state that your scenario is...

Golden eagle, Once the pilots break out, the approach is continued visually (with the aid of the PAPIs). No pilot is going to disregard 4 red PAPIs and continue their pre-calculated vertical profile into the ground. Also, Air Canada has numerous checks throughout the descent and approach when correc...

I'd be willing to bet my house that this is not a case of continuing the approach below minimums without visual reference. If the pilots hit minimums (or lost visual contact after minimums) there is absolutely no doubt in my mind that a go-around would have been initiated. So, yes, an improper verti...

I still maintain that these guys will fade away to nothing after the Westjet pilots ratify their contract. But don't worry, they or someone like them will pop up next negotiations/union push. A shitty website, a few paid off chrony execs, and some meaningless 737 options (the options which can proba...

Don't you love how news like this comes out right before Westjet pilots have to vote to ratify their contract....naw, must just be a coincidence

Where does this drivel come from?

Gino,

Do a little bit of research on how TCAS works and you will see that it is your post that is the drivel.

A stall to the break from a full power, full flaps climb, maintaining heading, and safe roll control. I had an over zealous PPL examiner who was quite a big wig in TC. He decided to make this a part of my PPL exam. I wasn't quite sure what he expected from me on the entry but he basically coached m...

@robertw That's interesting! We used to get this problem on Twin Otters in the Caribbean and I always wondered if it was due to bacterial growth. From what I understand Prist in JetA1 is not only for anti-icing but also anti-bacterial. We were operating JetA without Prist and that is what sparked th...

About 34 years too late for that!
