2 escape Lac du Bonnet plane crash By: Aldo Santin Updated: May 16 at 05:08 PM CDT Print Article E-mail Article LAC DU BONNET -- Two men barely got wet when the float plane they were flying in touched down on the Winnipeg River, flipped over and then partly submerged in the water. The two men, both ...

Vlakvark, goodluck with your job. It is really a shame that you can't ask advice or any questions without someone belittling you or pissing on your questions here. Avcanada was once a good place to ask questions and learn something however there has been a surplus of bitter people on here that have ...

Meatservo, I have never whined a day in my life, I am one of a few people on here that loves my job as a pilot, I stand up for this occupation time and time again. I work hard for my employer and I love what I do. Let's get one thing straight here pal, you don't know me, and if you did you would kee...

Meatservo, You sir are an idiot, you can take your spelling and grammer lessons and shove em up your ass, Now I am being rude. You bunch of jack asses are ruining the industry, whining about bonds yet your the first ones to leave once training is over. Bunch of fuckin hipocrites if you ask me. The H...

If ALL pilots refused to accept a bond companies would be stuck with grounded aircraft until they decided to drop the bonds altogether. \\ That's a great idea, then the company would go under and pilots would lose the jobs. You should probably think before you type.... There would be no such thing ...

Hedley, That is probably the best advice I have seen on this forum... Truthful, informative and right on the money.
Good Post.

Rowdy, I liked your posts alot better when you were just starting out in '05 when you didn't know everything about everything. 1000 or so hours T.T.??? jumpin from company to company doesn't make you the god you think you are.
Just buggin ya Rowdy, no need to get your hackles up.

Rowdy, I am not slinging shit, nor do I have to tell you how I know, but I do and very well. I said no comment because I am not going to start a two page post on bashing any companies. I am just stating that you lost all credibility with myself the first time you commented on maintenance and good co...

Rowdy,
You have also stated Bakers was a good outfit 2 and their machines were mechanically sound....... I know both companies maintenance practices very well.... no comment.

Thanks for the comments, I noticed the added features of the lowrance.
I appreciate the help

I searched for previous discussions on this subject and the most recent was 2006. I am sure the handheld GPS market has changed alot since then. I am in the market for a new one and would love some comments on which ones you guy's and girls would recommend.. I was leaning toward the Garmin 396, but ...

O.K. STREGA, tell me why you think pilots should not pay their dues like everyone else????? Ya it is expensive to become a pilot but it eventually pay's off... Take the silver spoon out of your mouth for christ sake.. I payed my dues 6 years ago, I worked hard, did my job and I have climbed the ladd...

Remove yourself, start there.

Well said to you 2 Liquid Charlie.

Well said Cat, You would think I worked for Transport Canada. It took me 2000 words for me to say what you did...... And it even confused me.

Trey Kule, no it was not at you..... I am just tired of this constant complaining by certain individuals as if it makes a difference, put your time in like everyone else does or did. I am just saying that all the complaining isn't goin to help you any. Hard workers get noticed do your job well and t...

Hey, union man, maybe your not worth anymore..... You should spend your time working hard and showing an employer that your not just an average pilot instead of complaining like a little 4 year old. Every pilot that I have ever met that was good at what he did and worked hard, was payed well for it....

I was reading a mining magazine in a dentist's office published in November of 2007 with a long wright up on BNAS and how they have both fixed wing and helicopters available for charter?
Does anyone know if they got their O.C. back?

Okay, Let's change it then. Let's end this debate and action it. I can devote some time to the cause. Where do you want to begin? How bout we start with shady operators (overloads, bad maint. etc)? I will compile a list from PM's from everyone who has info on dangerous buisness practices. PM me with...

Snoopy, I agree with you, I am employed by a company that does not bend the rules, fly legal loads and does not push weather, that is why I have been here for 8 years. I am trying to stand up for the good operators and the industry in general. I am tired of everybody shitting on it and putting every...

Okay Widow, all that article tells me is there is another 8.5 million dollars wasted. Everybody knows that not everything is reported, what did you expect to find out? Everybody reported every possible close call or bird strike? I haven't had anything along those lines, but if it was worth mentionin...

Oh, and although my opinion of you may change by your response to my last post, I think it is a good start that someone with your experience starts to train young pilots from experience and not by someone with 250 hrs recently graduated from school. We both know that your not doing it for the money!...

Cat Driver, I agree that there is alot of shady operations out there and they do need to be shut down, and I agree it takes to long by government bodies to take action on such outfits. How do you propose the industry can get any safer? The only way is if all aircraft are turbine powered have two eng...

Widow, First off, I am sorry for your loss, I really do feel for you. However, enough is enough, you continue to bash the industry, and i for one am tired of it. You follow the media in posting irrelevant information, imply how unsafe the industry is and it is getting old. I bet there was over 10,00...

False, I am watching UFC 77
TPBM thinks Rich Franklin will lose.
