The company is great, been in business for 60+ years, has had its ups and down, its the industry, employees are paid well and respected. Low turnover rate in the employee ranks, Pilot turnover is moderate in the in F/O ranks as the Captain Seats are filled with lifelongers. Ignore the competiton who...

Looks like they got a new website up and running "About time", its a half decent site all the same. No mention of the King Air they were suppose to get though.

One of the Pilots from Air Lab told me today that there are positions posted for King Air Captains and F/O's. Looks like they are hiring 3 of each. Appearantly they have a contract for the aircraft and it is being Based in Deer Lake. The aircraft will be hangared at NLA Hangar.

I was just talking to a Manager from over there, he told me they are basicly laying-off Pilots as three or four Captains/FO's bumped in from the Dash 8 operation in the Spring and now that the Float flying is winding down and the vacations are ending adjustments were necessary. I am sure their compa...

Airhawk you missed one important point (Unconfirmed Report). I was being very fair to all involved as I did not have all the details. I used to work for PAL but havn't in a long time.

There is a (unconfirmed report) that a Provincial Airlines Metroliner has gone off the runway 26 in Goose Bay. No injuries reported however Crash-Fire Rescue is on scene. Anybody else have details to post.


Great news that nobody was injuried!!!

It was an Aero Commader belonging to the NL Government. Gear Collapse-no pax's, no injury. A/C should be ferried to base at YAY tomorrow.

The gear had a short distance to collapse.

A lot of us are wishing we were still over there. Not to worry though we will survive to live another day, 5 years will pass quickly.

Try Park Lake Lodge or Minippi Camps. 709 8962477 or 7098962891.

They use Air Labrador to fly their guest, Air Labrador 709 896 2992.

I have been in Goose Bay for a number of years working in General Aviation, its a great place. Air Labrador is a fine company, they will look after you. There is a number of Come From Aways (CFA) working over there, you should be fine. I will drop by some day and introduce myself to you. When do you...

In time, it happened only 2 weeks ago.

Anyone have details???

FF

Here is what I have heard through the grape vine. AL has a Dash 8 down for a heavy check, it is going back online in April and crews will be recalled. The Scheduled flight (X2 daily) to Northern Quebec has been pulled due to poor performance, crews have been laid off and the Beech 190 is being lease...

Looks like the main gear came off on landing, aircraft skidded down the runway for a 1000 feet. UGLY!!!!!

No injuries thats the only good news.

FF

I predict that Porter will not launch!!!!!

FF

Air Labrador est un bonne, CYBX est un arrêt pour la plupart des gens. L'embauche maintenant pour nouveau Dash 8 et Beech 1900D positions. Je m’excuse pour la mauvaise grammaire!

The comment about being far from home base was more towards cost prohibitivness of a Dash 8 charter. After all, when you take speed of a Dash 8 against milage rate and payload there were cheaper options of the jet kind.

FF

Has this company sold a Dash 8 to Provincial Airlines, does anyone out there know. I heard NCB802 coming into YYT last night, to far from home base to be a charter. I also heard SPR999 which was appearantly coming in from YFC, assumption is that these to machines are headed South for PAL's new contr...

I am told that EVAS Air from Gander is leasing a Beech 1900D from Lab Air to do St. John's - St. Anthony and St. John's - Stephenville, more trouble for PAL!!

Anyone else hear that rumour?

He had very little difficulty attracting a host of employees to Quebecair after the failure of his first venture. He is another version of the other Quebec Aviation Guy with the initials M.L. anything is quite possible.
