The sad part is that both AC and WJ have better service than the US airlines.
Thats not my experience.

My last flight on United a few years ago was the actual last flight I would ever take with them. I vowed never to fly that airline again…I travel a lot for work. Delta and Air Canada are generally really good (on time, no bag lost), Westjet is okay, United and American are pure garbage.
…almost as bad as Etihad or Singapore…oh wait, never mind.United and American are pure garbage.

Agree to disagree. I have much much better experiences flying in the US than in Canada.The sad part is that both AC and WJ have better service than the US airlines.
Interesting - I thought AOST was intended to be a Reserve-only trade.
Lets see how many people switch over to a simpler trade. With the pay rate differences not that much between base - spec 1, this would be a great option for far less responsibility with similar pay and same benefits.
No- that was the first step.Interesting - I thought AOST was intended to be a Reserve-only trade.
Have you ever piloted one of those huge jet?I travel a lot for work. Delta and Air Canada are generally really good (on time, no bag lost), Westjet is okay, United and American are pure garbage.
When I was doing Test Pilot training, an A380 on its production test flight.Have you ever piloted one of those huge jet?
That's awesome. When planes are that big do the electronics do most of the flying or does it still require alot of input from the pilot?When I was doing Test Pilot training, an A380 on its production test flight.
The Airbus mentality (which may have changed) is that the electronics do everything.That's awesome. When planes are that big do the electronics do most of the flying or does it still require alot of input from the pilot?
In modern airliners and biz jets, most of the flying is done with the autopilot engaged. All take offs and the vast majority of landings will be hand flown. For auto land, the aircraft must be equipped, as well as the airport.That's awesome. When planes are that big do the electronics do most of the flying or does it still require alot of input from the pilot?
If by “new” you mean “since the mid-90s when McDonnell Douglas merged with them”, then yes.The new Boeing mentality is that it's more important for techs on the production line to know the current stock price than to properly assemble the plane.
Boeing and the Dark Age of American Manufacturing
Somewhere along the line, the plane maker lost interest in making its own planes. Can it rediscover its engineering soul?www.theatlantic.com
That’s pretty cool. How many individual types did you get to fly on that?When I was doing Test Pilot training, an A380 on its production test flight.
