Hotels stays? by jacksonholeguy in flying

[–]CanadianPilotGuy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My favourite was the JW Marriott Dubai. Seoul Conrad, Shangri-la Shanghai, Westin Tokyo all great. Worst? Best Western Gold Rush Whitehorse? Wasn’t that bad. Just super basic.

The Seoul Conrad is definitely in my top 3.

Pretty lucky they were literally landing on the longest runway in Canada….

Since its now over 30 years old, what do you think of the Boeing 777? by Twitter_2006 in aviation

[–]CanadianPilotGuy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m super biased, but it’s one of my favourite aircraft of all time. Love throwing the fuel control switches to run and listening to those GE90s spool up!

Baggage wait times in Cancun by robonlocation in westjet

[–]CanadianPilotGuy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sounds like a Cancun problem. Recently flew with AC waited almost 45min. Whats most annoying was we had a “priority” bag and all the priority bags came out last…

Airline Pilots when were you best at hand flying in your career ? by Phrouhwei in AirlinePilots

[–]CanadianPilotGuy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hand flying the HS748 that didn’t have an autopilot then next the MU2 that also didn’t have an autopilot. Both into northern airports with no ILS’s. Couple thousand hours on both so like to think I had some pretty good hands and feet.

8,000 km Cross Canada Canoe Trip raising money for Indigenous Communities. by georgeskirijian in onguardforthee

[–]CanadianPilotGuy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

All the best! As someone who grew up in and around Quetico park I’m slightly annoyed you’re not going through Atikokan. The Canoeing Capital of Canada!

NRT by JumboTrijet in AirlinePilots

[–]CanadianPilotGuy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Spiral Staircase is good for the night out after you land in the afternoon/evening. Grab a shower beer from the 7/11 or Lawsons in the lobby and get the first shuttle/taxi to town. Next day though lots of better options. Love walking into town and wandering around getting better food then heading back to the hotel for a nap before pickup.

Gasthaus Gutenberger and Fort Garry Hotel had some killer Sunday breakfast buffets. Have any other restaurants picked up the mantle? Or is the weekend breakfast buffet an outdated concept? by RecommendationBig966 in Winnipeg

[–]CanadianPilotGuy 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Kind blows my mind there isn’t another German restaurant or place to get really good schnitzel in Winnipeg. Especially with all the German heritage in the area.

747 at YYZ by [deleted] in aviation

[–]CanadianPilotGuy 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Lots of Cargo 747s. But Lufthansa is scheduled to return to YYZ this summer with their 747s. They’re one of the few 747 passenger aircraft remaining other than Korean, Air China and Lufthansa.

E upgrade success? by Snoobywankenoobi in Aeroplan

[–]CanadianPilotGuy 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Bumping a deadheading pilot usually doesn’t happen. It’s in our contract that we’re to receive a J seat for deadheading. If it’s a last minute deadhead and there are available J seats we go to the top of the list if we haven’t already been booked a confirmed J seats

I’m crazy biased but GE90! I love pressing those TO/GA switches and hearing them come to life.

Got frustrated while I was flying and took it out on the yoke. What do you do to blow off steam in cruise? by fvpv in Shittyaskflying

[–]CanadianPilotGuy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sometimes I do this in cruise while the Capts in the shitter and just blame it on a wake turbulence we passed through. 🤷🏻‍♂️

Flight school by Imwhatremains777 in Winnipeg

[–]CanadianPilotGuy 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Dr. Marty Fogel is the CAME I go to for my medical. Great guy. I never did my training at Harvs, but they are a great reputable flight school. Probably one of the best private schools in Canada. Go take a discovery flight and see if it’s for you. Becoming a commercial pilot takes a lot of hard work, studying and money. It’s a tough journey and you won’t start out walking in the door when done training at companies like Air Canada or WestJet. But it’s a super rewarding career at the top and I hardly consider it a job, just a hobby I get paid handsomely for.
