If you can put your days off back to back, that is a good chunk of time off, 175K and the schedule beat skyservice.

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...

Re: The Colonel.
There have been a lot of posters banned/leave the forum due to excessive "oversight" from "big brother". It is AvCanada's sandbox though. Everyone else is a guest, and subject to the rules, and application of the rules of the sandbox owner. It is my opinion that AvCanada, like other aviation forums...

Re: The Colonel.
CFR and pilotDar, relax guy's! I'm not comparing the mods to what you saw in a museum. Maybe I should have referenced something more appropriate. Perhaps too flippant on my part. I don't even know if Colonel was banned. That was what I was asking to begin with. There have been a lot of posters banne...

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?

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...
