I really hope this turns out ok. Carwright is my hometown, and the community is reeling from the tragic and sudden drowning of a young and well liked young man.

just check with the super. Sometimes if there is a waiting list for units they will let you out of the penalty, happenend to me a few years ago.

Sadly there will be more layoffs in the whole company, employees will be notified in the coming week and many of the lay-offs will be effective after the holidays. Of course with the downturn in the economy, CJ had re-negotiated all their contracts with customers and changed routes to fit these new ...

no problem, I guess everyone is pretty busy up there. But if you see Snowroller up there, say hi too!

My brother is up there now with CHC!! If you see Darrell Bird, tell him his sister says hi!!

I suggest getting a car once you get there. Goose Bay is an awesome place to live (especially if you like to drink!) but the town is very long, and no public transit system. Taking taxi's will get $$ very fast, especially if you live in the valley. The best thing about Goose is all the bars, great p...

Why not try Salluit? I lived there 7 years ago and there was a hotel there then. When I lived there, town itself wasn't that bad (actually enjoyed living there, compared to the other places I lived in when I lived in Nunavik).

hey fmrc3ame, thought you fell off the face of the earth!

legally, a company has to have them in the mail by Feb 28th. It should then arrive to you (if by mail) a couple of days after. If you normally get them hand delivered at your work, then the deadline is Feb 28. If you are at a copmany that has shares, then you may not get your T5 (I think it's called...

oops, made a mistake. It isn't Jetport, it's the new hangar across from them. Either way, still a bitch to have happened to you.

this is not from that incident, but I bet it kinda looked like this....

at least you can say your day was better than yesterday was at Jetport, poor bastards!

It was always fun to bring people who were already iffy about flying and them take them to see a wreck in the woods!

I have a ton of pics of this crash from the air, if I get a chance I will post them. I went to flying school in Gander and bringing friends down to the site was one of my most "I wanna see" requests.

I got the same song and dance from the guy who owned the flight school where I went. "Oh be a pilot, there's a massive pilot shortage, in 5 years you'll we working with Cathay, the company where you'll leave with a million dollars", it was quite the pitch & I fell for it like many others. 12 years l...

Hey Chubee, when did you live in Kuujjuaq? I live there back in '99, but only for a few months. I was in Salluit, Inukjuak, Kuujjuaq, Kuujjuaraapik & Chisasibi, so we may have crossed paths. I was definetly a learning experience being there. Enjoyed it, but could never do it again. I "served my sent...

You are definetly right about DASH systems (aka Trash systems). It does take a bit of training to know how to use all the features and is mainly for a place with a dedicated records/planning department. I have been trying to train some of our maintenance people how to use this for the past 2 years a...

I'm in the reocrds & planning department of a cargo company and we use a system called DASH but its probably a little too pricey. I think the new web-based version will run about 1 mil. At a previous company we had a program called "Columbia", it's 50 grand US (I think) and is good for planning, inv...

Of course their OTP would have to be good. Pat standing at the door kicking the guys in the ass telling them the weather is good enough, go flying! I still remember the old plane that I would fly all the time (KNW) had no heat, when it snowed outside, it snowed inside. Didn't have the key start, jus...

I went there many years ago, when it was a bare bones operation with one instructor. Had fun there, but not sure about what it is like now. By the looks of their website, it looks more like a college environment now. The owners are nice people, but not sure what the current staff is like. Gander is ...

I wasn't being specific on the airline getting bigger. The company as a whole is getting larger. It went from one little room in Gerry's hangar with one instructor, one airplane and 2 students to what it is now. Just glad to see that someone in NFLD is making a go of it. I don't think that losing a ...

Like posted earlier, EVAS is Exploits Valley Air Services. It is a part of Gander Flight Training, they operate a Beech 1900 as a operator for Air Canada Jazz. They've been around since the early 1990's but are now starting to get really big. I remember the good old days, when it was only 2 full tim...

I lived in N.S for nearly a year back in 2000-2001 and loved every minute of it. Would have stayed but good paying jobs are hard to come. I worked at the airport and lived in Enfield. 9km door to door, just 10 minutes to get work and 30 minutes to get to Halifax. Enfield/Emsdale is fairly cheap to r...

I've been in tech records for a few years & have had to do this once or twice before. I can see the reasoning like everyone else for charging a fee for this service. Sometimes it can take a while to dig up old records, make copies and get it ready for shipping, time that cost the company money. We a...

My thoughts and prayers go out to the families of this most recent tradagey, and to their fellow crewmembers. It is always heartbreaking to hear that someone won't be coming home to their loved ones at the end of the day. Duane Brazil's family are in my thoughts today. When I read his name I thought...
