Re: AirAsia plane missing between Indonesia and Malaysia

Hard to imagine a pilot with so much experience including military would a) climb so aggressively, b) stall it and c) be unable to recover. This may be more complex than pilot error.. perhaps a cargo shift in turbulence or too aft c of g or some other mechanical cause of the climb. Apparently a pre...

There have been a lot of posters banned/leave the forum due to excessive "oversight" from "big brother". It is AvCanada's sandbox though.

Re: Blue Spruce Route?

Blue spruce routes have VHF coverage all the way across depending on altitude, and radar coverage longer than you may think. Atlantic tracks change daily depending on wind and weather, typically the fastest routing is what they plan. Think tailwinds!

Re: RBC replaces Canadian staff with foreign workers

The media is finally grabbing this, the public is too. The boys in the coffee shop were appalled when they learned that 250+ foreign pilots were here this winter. MP's are being written as I type.

Colonel, Seriously, you really have no idea why expat Canadians are abroad? If you removed all of the Canadians, Aussies, kiwis and Americans from the UAE what would be left?

Re: Sunwing 601 loss of control

What should hit the media? They encountered severe turbulence. They declared an emergency to get priority decent clearance. Levelled at 35,000 and continued on. If the aircraft did stall at that altitude it would take roughly 5000 feet to recover. Not much here...next. Next? Has the missing fuel be...

First of all, I am confused.. Was that a yes or a no? I do not think that any of us, has a "mandate" to deal with the foreign pilot issue..(the word mandate, was from one of your posts.) You did. Whether I agree with what you are doing or not, if you are doing it for altruistic ends then you deserv...

Wiarton and Tobermory always had a few bikes around for transients to use. Go for the White fish in either of those two places. Hanover and Collingwood used to have kitchens open for lunch. The German lady in Collingwood made some of the best "Airport" food around. Call ahead and make sure though, i...
