Google Earth has a feature where you can pick the date of the images as well, if you click the little clock with the year beside it you can scroll through various images. The airplane only appears on 9/27/2008. It's not there on the previous image 7/30/2006, or the subsequent one 12/30/2008.

It's pretty simple: The speed advantage of fixed wing is negated over short distances by the need for a land ambulance ride on each end. Probably the media sex appeal of helicopters is related to their much increased visibility (the fixed wing dudes aren't landing on highways and are generally not s...

Hi guys

I need to go to a funeral on Friday in Stratford. If you were planning on flying from Haliburton CND4 to Stratford CNM4 and back as part of your cross-country time building I would love to chip in some gas money and ride with you.

PM me.

Cheers to beers.

Shouldn't Jazz airplanes be in Air Canada colours with "operated by Jazz Air" at the door?

I have stayed at the Greenwood for $55.

Yeah I think there's something in the regulations that gives the PIC authority to determine "alternate procedures" if the published procedure is not acceptable for some reason. Out here in the rocks for some reason we never get departure instructions of any type, the clearance is generally "cleared ...

Hey I need a lift to my parents place near Stanhope. Anybody happen to be going that way (or happen to be time-building aimlessly) I can pitch $50 for gas.

Cheers.

we were after 60 million total per year in lost total compensation. They didn't even get a third of that. Aah Obbie we were explicitly not after 60 mil... Brian Shury said in every road show "we are not even trying to get back the 60 million we lost" 26 mil is more than 1/3rd of 60 anyways, but if ...

RE: Jazz with passes...

A lot has been made of this, consider also that all aeroplan employees have C2 passes.

We were on approach right after them. According to the approach controller they overshot due to windshear on 26R and asked for the longer runway for their second approach. We asked for 26L as well, and as advertised at 200' we had about a 15 knot tailwind, and the surface winds were from the west gu...

So basically we're going to cap YYC - OGG at 95 seats. Their introductory fare is $369 one way according to the press release here http://www.newswire.ca/en/releases/archive/October2009/02/c3418.html Hopefully they wouldn't sell the whole airplane at that fare because they would only have a revenue ...

I quit instructing a few months ago, but here's what I was doing, FWIW. - What you make per flight hour 30 - What you make for a base salary (If you make one) zero - What hours do you work ( actual hours you are at work ) 1000-1600 - How many hours do you average a month 3 hours flying and 4 hours b...

so basically.....stan....... Porter is in competition with Air Canada..... Have I been missing something all along...... Why of course it has nothing to do with Jazz........ http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YAQ60VQ_xm0&feature=related Some of you might know his daughter Candace ......... If I am wron...

Cool, thanks Valhalla! What I mean dashx is that since Jazz only provides lift to Air Canada, the only way any company is in competition with Jazz is if they are trying to provide lift to Air Canada with similar-sized aircraft. Jazz's only real competition is on trans-border routes and comes from US...

Jazz should stop licking their wounds and move on. When they had their chance they blew it. Why the hate for Jazz? Jazz has nothing to do with it except that they fly the airplane. If Air Canada tells Jazz to start a base in YTZ again, they will. For that matter, licking what wounds? Jazz wasn't mo...

I'm sorry I'm not the sharpest guy out there but if there are no Lay-offs and sense everyone is paid for years in how is it a reduction bid. People are getting moved around and from RJ to Dash but there is no reducing? Actually there are more Captain vacancies the people switching off the Jet so th...

I love when people use the word "broken model" to describe Air Canada. The market took a shit kicking, Nortel (AC's biggest customer) took a dump, AC has a DB pension plan to fund, and somehow the model is broken? When Air Canada had an operating income of $433,000,000 in 2007, was the model broken ...

Great post.

Ok, so I gotta a question guys...I am not working for AC/Jazz/WJ but would like to know how do you guys deal with this situation? You have two guys on reserve...(A is more senior to B guy), and A guy is on a single day while guy B is on a multi-day reserve. Crewsked has an open TWO-DAY pairing and ...

Thanks for all the replies guys. So now I am quite curious, what are the advantages to choosing the dash, in what ways is it a better quality of life? Is it just a matter of being able to make a better schedule? I imagine those who wish to move on quickly would prefer to build up the jet time right...

jpar84 wrote:who wouldn't fly a jet over a prop?

Somebody who doesn't care about jet time as much as quality of life--not that the jet is awful, but the guys who choose the dash generally see going to the jet as a sacrifice of some sort.

I heard from someone in HR that about 45% of people get through the Jazz interview process.

If you're in the YVR area and you want a dry-run of either the interview or the sim, PM me and we can talk about setting something up.

Just heard Anderson Cooper on CNN say "the plane has now touched down. The gunman, er, pilot, is on the run..."
