What's the strategy here?

It's called negotiating for a collective agreement in due course.

Nose high was likely because it looks like they didn't use much flaps. Disclaimer, I don't know much about the Q400.

So true: These days most recurrent training sessions are so fixated on SOP's, aircraft system malfunctions, TCAS, EGPWS and windshear recoveries that basic IFR and airmanship atrophy. I don't blame the pilots for this loss, although yes, anybody who does hold an Instrument Rating should know better.

I'd like to read said press release; where is it?

Thanks

Is it just me or the images shot from the air on media channels show the wreckage with his body floating beside the plane??? If so, what a disgrace.

Must be an error with the registration that lead to this because the plane has been in Bordeaux, France doing charters as per flightaware.
YPK is not a place for a 330

Pelmet, I've had this beef for a while towards Pearson, especially T3. One day at Viscount, GTAA employees had a stand to promote safety in the escalators. I had a laugh at first, then I took it upon myself to have a chat with them. I said it's nice to promote safety and all but it would be actually...

The airlines usually don't own the stairs. The ground handlers company do.

Can you in a nutshell, for non-AC peeps, explain what this cargo thing is about?

Thanks

The Calgary WestJet carrier is expected to acquire integrated tour operator Transat A.T.

The translation is wrong. It should read: [...]Westjet carrier should acquire[...]

Helicopter Transport Services in Carp have a Falcon 50 and BE350 in their fixed wing department.

How's Sunwing's plan of expansion going for next winter?

I'd be shocked if anybody did turn a profit this winter on the "down south" destinations, but we'll never know except for TS.

or Air Transat.

but certain airlines in Europe have found a way to circumnavigate that obstacle by not charging the pilots directly for their training, but by hiring pilots only from a particular training outfit that provided type ratings for a fee. At least TC "forbids" to buy a 705 type rating or recurrent in a ...

With all the runways in ORD, how can this happen? Hopefully there is a logical explanation.

Salut, Ce n'est pas la première fois que je post les lignes suivantes, qui me font rigoler à toutes les fois. Voici, du site de la SOPFEU, leur mission: "Optimiser la protection des forêts contre les incendies en vue d'assurer la pérennité du milieu forestier au bénéfice de toute la collectivité, et...

I'm impressed with Gilles' devotion to the cause. On the other hand, wallflowers keep staring at the sun all day. Such a pretty flower.

I'd say the Sunwing employee that leaked the document is more liable than Gilles. Hopefully Gilles asked permission from said employee...

Mr. North, To partly answer your question. The A/P didn't click off. It changed mode. From the report: " A low detent force (4 pounds in the roll axis and 5 pounds in the pitch axis) is required to move the control wheel out of the centre (detent) position. This force is comparable to the force requ...

Is this a TAP airplane? It's weird that they have pouches for stuff ON the emerg door.

the other half of the time I'm in jeans, t-shirt, and sneakers or hiking boots. No one has ever said a word to me about it. That is a very "dangerous" game to play not to be dressed as per the company policy, and not just for you. The former company I was working for got a complaint from the carrie...

Well, it depends on the failure. If you'd have a fuel pump problem, the ECAM would tell you. In a fuel leak situation (I mean just a fuel leak, no other crap going on), your warning would be the ECAM: Wing Tank Low Level, which is a bit "late" when you look at it. Bear in mind there is a lot of ecam...

I don't know what the guys in there were doing, but the QRH is pretty explicit regarding massive fuel leak. If the tank depletes more than 500 kgs in less than 30min compared to the other tank, it most likely comes from the engine. Then shut said engine down and "Do not use reversers". None of this ...

I find waiving the bible here is not appropriate. This will not make this topic go forward, but to bring it backwards centuries.
