CYYC RWY16 Excursion April 14
Calgary airport closed UFN. Sounds like it might be a Sunwing aircraft. Hopefully no injuries.

Re: The Dangers of these new Backscatter X-ray Scanners
Could companies run regular charter flights from FBO to FBO similarly how is common practice say for oil and gas companies moving employees to Fort Mac.

Re: Scared the shit out of myself last night, what's the les
Zero flap or Minimal flap. More or Max side slip if no pax. Excessive side slip works good in really good gusty conditions. As a gust hits you you get more lift and drag at the same time. Touch down on upwind main with lots of x-wind input, helps with reducing getting bounced back up if you have a h...

Re: Jazz Air LP signed an agreement with Thomas Cook Canada
I have to say I agree with SaskStyle to a point. I am tired of seeing companies operate from the bottom up. This deal will no doubt help get a better contract but it has to be alot better or else Jazz really is just bringing the industry standards down. It brings it down in experience by hiring no t...

Re: CATSA You F*&^%$ A$$holes
Catsa is a for profit company that has the security contract on behalf of TC. If you have to give up all that person info so that you can operate a flight then I would like to see them defend in court against not being able to use the bypass facilities or the benefits of the RAIC card to simply trav...

Re: KD Air Shutting down due to YVR 2010?
KD Air and other operators facing this security issue should send Transport Canada a bill for thousands if they have been ordered to pass through a registered security gate at an authorized airport. Until such time as all aircraft are treated equally it is discrimination. Look at all the corporate o...

Don't worry about the pass thing. Won't be long now we can have RFID tags implanted so they know who you are without showing the id, this way they'll also know where you were and who you talked to. No Pic Id, no problem... Just don't piss anyone off or your tag will get restricted and you'll be buil...

Dude, slowstream, are all your posts that dum? FD, they are bond heavy. If you don't have the contrail requirements you might find yourself working night shift hauling bags. The shifts are very long considering the amount of air time you'll get. You will likely get 2-3 times the experience if you lo...
