Geez. I started out geared towards drafting and architecture, wound up getting my commercial pilot licence in an aviation diploma program, then started a temporary hospitality job which lasted six years, then sold cars for five years, and now Im a driving instructor for the Mercedes Benz Driving Academy here in Canada. Google it!

I got extra pay when flying ultra low. The exercise was called "diversions".

Nope. Got my ratings at Carson Air 1998-2001. Flew cadets out of PFC in ZBB during those years too.

Clive,

I first heard the term "Bitching Betty" when I worked on a simulator program for the CF-18, I guess it's used for other voice warning in different aircraft too.

Back on topic, formerly R&D, simulation design, program management.

Current in the ISR industry as a project manager, looking for bigger and better opportunities!

Default Hi everyone!

Hi everybody,

I've been secretly reading these forums for a year and finally decided to go ahead and create a forum account today. I graduated from the University of Toronto with a degree in statistical analysis in 2011 and currently work as a business strategy and reporting manager at BCE. I am planning to come out to the next GTA GTG this coming Saturday and hope to meet some of you in person then.

Cheers
