Re: Recall of MEC Chair & Vice Chair

I was always surprised that the team doing the negotiations are not professional negotiators employed by ALPA. Sure have Pilot representatives in the room but not doing the actual negotiations. I hear this a lot. I can assure you that you are better off with pilot negotiators supported by negotiato...

Re: APC “Air Partners Corp”

Hi FlyingFreighter. Sorry for no reply as I didn't actually notice your post until today. With regards to our ads, there has definitely been some movement as there is with any 704 operator out there. However, additionally, we have added several tails and are trying bolster our roster in order to en...

Re: Alberta Aviation Museum B737-200 at Villeneuve broken in

Hi Tom Sorry to hear about the stolen property. Hopefully the people responsible are caught. It was amazing and a great accomplishment to see that 37 repositioned on such short notice to ZVL. On a side note why thank EIA (Edmonton International Airport) ? They are the reason why that plane is out in...

CYXD World Renowned Redevelopment Update

http://www.connect2edmonton.ca/forum/sh ... 19&page=10

So the land is heavily contaminated, there is no private money behind the development, and the drawings aren't as advertised. Everyone in the Edmonton aviation community saw this one coming.

Re: City of Edmonton continues to screw aviation

ZVL was never an option. Lengthen, widen the runways, increase the allowable take off weight, install an ils, upgrade the atc, and build a road to it, before we even talk about aircraft infrastructure just to have an airport out in farmland three towns over from Edmontons boundaries. Agree 100%. Ev...

Re: Villeneuve Airport question

Hi Tom, The logical and financial response would be to keep the city centre airport open as it once was. In the end the province will end up paying for the city of Edmonton's dumbfounded decision to close the airport. This will either result in a ton of money going towards CZVL expansion which I hig...

By doing so you took away pro airport votes which could of went to Don Koziak (backed by Envision Edmonton). In the end M...
