Re: Questions for YYZ Tower?

There have been a few times that I followed the instructions on the signs to "contact tower". I did so and the tower guy told me to go back to ground, so I did, only to have him tell me to contact tower. Go figure!

I see we took Delivery of 2 -800's (809 & 810) in the last month or so, maybe that will help out the hiring situation a bit.

Re: Is this how we treat people?

Not a problem, post your real name on here, and like Herb Kelleher from Southwest does, put you on the no fly list for the specific airline. And yes, that kind of treatment of recips is unacceptable. But at the same time, back in my Jazz days, I was often treated like shit by the AC guys, being deni...

Re: Enerjet

I see that no one has had anything to say about EnerJet since Jan 27 on here. Is that because that is about the last time that one of their 37's were in the air. The other was 11 days ago, except for today, when it actually did something. How many thousands of dollars are lost a day with a $30 milli...

Re: Carson Air

When i worked there, about 3 years ago (for 6+ years) there was profit sharing as well as health and dental benefits. And there are at least 20 ex Carson guys at WestJet now. From number 50ish in the pilot list, up to the 900's.

737 in YQT.....in the news (and the plane did not "slide" off the runway)

737 in turbulence. Do you have the facts to back up the 1/4 coverage.

Re: A Quick ACA Trip Report (CYEG-CYVR-KPDX & Return)

So to sum things up, the plane left on time (the first one) had an F/A with attitude, and then Jazz had another grouch on the way back, TV's didnt work, aircraft left late. Sounds like the customer service is really on an upswing.

But you had a little bit of extra room for yer arse!!!

Does WestJet lease airplanes from Singapore Air Leasing? And are they a delivery customer for the 787? If so, could WJ possibly have 787's in teal and blue, before any get painted toothpaste blue??

I don't know the facts for sure, just asking, before i get jumped on
