I was up until about midnight in that general area. Don't have any idea what happened however, if I needed to ditch it would have been a perfect night to do so. The lakes looked like mirrors with no wind and the moon, although not full, was quite bright. In fact, my FO commented "what a beautiful ni...

I guess that National Audit thing I mention kicked in....

I hope they get things worked out but there must have been something not quite right...

My guess is, TC is at Westwind right now, or soon will be. A National "Audit" happens after accidents like this. Automatic.

All said and done though, wow, it is a miracle that no one lost their life.

I do not recall ever thinking about my passengers when I had emergencies while flying....no, try as hard as I can I can't remember even one time. I agree 100%. It is MY ass and if you are sitting behind me, you automatically have a "save my ass too" card for being on board. I have told many a passe...

Perhaps this?

Well, is there anyone on this site old enough to know how Frank operates??? Not over gross? You have to be kidding me! Cat, you alluded to it but were trying to be polite I assume. Don't know what happened however, to suggest that the aircraft was not over gross is, well, you haven't been around muc...

You can buy them on eBay, don't suppose they are STC'd, but it looks like a good move to me. Which reminds me, did they hang that thief Doctor who cheated everyone? Just curious. Nope. No charges were ever laid. It would be too embarrassing for the government....and they promoted the Health Minister!

A friend of mine left the military and has major c-130 time. Later in civilian life had been flying a 604 with lots of time on type flying international ops. Currently flying a turboprop in N. Ontario and went to the Georgian interview for a "direct hire Captain" position. Was offered the position b...

Yes there is. This has been going on for a very long time with few having the audacity of putting it front and center for everyone to see. Time to retire....

You make the assumption the posts on this site represent a majority of Canadian pilots. YOU are the one making assumptions and are incorrect. No need to go into details though, suffice it to say, I have been around the industry for a "while". (too long???) And yes, there are many professionals out ...

I agree totally with Doc. It is unfortunate but all you need to do is read a few of the threads in this forum to see that he is correct. The "lack" of professionalism demonstrated in here is astounding. It is very unfortunate but the reality is, many pilots do not conduct themselves in a professiona...
