Re: SunWings Laying off Pilots

All rumour and speculation. This sort of stuff just gets people upset for no reason.
If their union/association is behind this they should be turfed out. It is irresponsible.

Re: Air Georgian Pilots are going on strike!

Is it just me, or could the original poster have been guilty of drinking-and-posting? It looks like the fingers might not have been fully functioning on the keyboard at those critical moments when a consonant was needed.
Ok, it is just me.

Amazing that the spreaders and structure for the floats stayed intact while the wing broke. Very strong stuff.

Re: Guess What! - Canadian North Flight 466/467 cancelled again!

I'm sure that 5T's business plan does not revolve around the multitude of Beech & Otter "Grizzled Veterans" are waiting for a ride home from YEV, YRT of YFB. Then again, I'm sure that the liquor sales must increase in those places when rotational GV's can't get out. How does that booze get there any...

Are we headed into who's weenie is bigger? The pilot who flies the Boeing or the pilot who flies the skis/float/wheels? Grizzled veterans? Pleeze.

Re: Guess What! - Canadian North Flight 466/467 cancelled again!

MFA, do you actually have any understanding of the industry or are you on here just to increase the number of posts you have put up? Flights get cancelled all the time. Flights to and from the north are expensive (although you aren't paying for the ticket anyways). First Air is in competition with C...

Re: Hawkair / Suncor close call Fort MacKay

Have to agree with PT6 on this one. The blame for this lies completely with the Hawk Captain. Sorry. No one else but him/her to blame. That being said, yes, new procedures, new look at the captain and see what happened. The reason for being distracted is where the investigation would start. What was...

Re: Safety pilots wanted

Safety Pilot?
Are you implying that you need someone in the other seat to keep you safe? And what happens when your Safety Dude wants to take control because you are in the death spiral?
This one of those golden opportunities to avoid...run away....

Re: westjet to yzf

Have to weigh in on this one.
It isn't about the cold weather, it isn't about leg length, aircraft type, koolaid, nothing.
People will always buy the cheapest ticket to get to Edmonton.
Period!
