For those who can bear it - there is surveillance video out now.
It is hard to watch.

Jesus Christ! Use your head, there was also 100 passengers and the collision happened on the way to parking depending on the media! 21 knots, no one would be critical or dead ffs! I really hope your account was hacked with a comment like that. If not, Mods please give this ass clown a time out. Are...

Doesn't look good for the pilots.....prayers for everyone involved. Reports so far are a dozen injured and 2 dead. Flight 8646 from Montreal apparently T boned a fire truck at 21 kts while rolling out after landing. ATC audio captured by LiveATC.net indicates the ARFF truck was cleared to cross Run...

Rudder is right....While the tourism has shut down and that does affect WJ - we have been able to shift most business for the time being. The big worries for the company right now would be the cost of fuel skyrocketing - with the possibility of jet fuel shortages now creeping into the US....if that ...

If this happens, Flair pilots will have the privilege of flying modern 737's like the old 200's. Don't forget to say thank you, Flair pilots. Climb Thrust Level Change! And/or the privilege of flying with former SWG pilots setting some arbitrary N1 settings for go arounds (with no corresponding cli...

Westjet apprentice wages are $28 - $34 right now. Goes up in July.

TC will not certify an aircraft that does not have a type certificate in force. The fact the 700 and 800 series have a waiver means the type certificate is not finalized....hence they wont touch it. There is also the fact that TC will only go through the motions if there is someone who wants to oper...

Are not test flights done after some maintenance task is performed? Therefore it's up to the Engineers not the pilot as to what's to be done on the flight. Normally test flights are performed by Pilots who have been trained for this. Normally they will have taken a course at the manufacturer. What ...

They used Boeing pilots for the test flight? I've had AMEs instruct me to do ridiculous things for test flights, and during ground engine run ups. It's up to the pilot to decide what the best course of action is for a flight not the engineers. That said I don't think doing the test flight and landi...

It's quite the read...Sounds like a complete clown show. I mean - it should be common sense to at least use a water filter, and why bother draining the sump for 2 secs without even looking at it????? Kind of useless. There are so many stupid issues - but this one here speaks volumes about the compan...

Update from the TSB.... Update: December 2025 The engine and various components were sent to the TSB Engineering Laboratory in Ottawa, Ontario, for teardown and inspection. During the inspection process, it was observed that the left engine crankshaft had failed. Further material analysis is require...

Impressive stuff. I'm sure the engineers didn't mind working in St. Martin for a couple months instead of Iqaluit. I'd be curious, was it WJ staff down there, or did they hire an AOG company... Heard it was a team from Boeing actually which would make sense since WJ probably wouldn’t have the peopl...

The plane flew home today. Well done to the Tech ops group!

Cargojet? Doesn't WJ have their own fleet of 737 freighter? :lol: No. That ended a while ago. Not true. I'm flying a BCF pairing right now. Ok sorry. Technically yes we have a freighter....but I hardly call an openly cancelled (radically changed) program and 1 plane a "fleet" of freighters.

No. That ended a while ago.

A Cargojet 757 just dropped off the first of what they need. They have started repairs and are guessing about 10 weeks or so.

The 737 did operate ycd, you are correct. And it was a disaster, load restricted, could only land going one direction, tailwind limited, every pilot i spoke to about it hated it, i deadheaded in there afew times in the jet and every landing was a slam, because the runway is not long. ...and yet - s...

I will predict the corp gets very verdictive in Arbitration, no point in mediation as they are miles apart. Whatever the FA's get, so will the rampies and agents. The economic climate has drastically changed since CUPE started bargaining, if we're not in a recession we are awfully close. I highly d...

Non of the maxes are even close to being on the chopping block. All the 700's are leaving and the 800's will slowly be phased out over the coming years. We'll probably still have a bunch in 2030 so they will be around in numbers for a while yet. I believe we will eventually exercise all options........

So - I'm confused....was there actually a back to work order? There was an order for binding arbitration - but that is a separate thing.
