Re: New yyz slots..this is gonna hurt!

Is the CBAA going to stand up for us on this one at all? I have to imagine they would. In my (admittedly-short) career in Corporate Aviation, this is easily one of the most ludicrous things I've ever seen. As a workaround though.....would anyone like to form a team and join my International Champio...

Re: Porter CSeries/Airport Expansion

Maybe I don't know enough about this, but here's my take. Isn't the Federal Government's involvement in the Tripartite agreement due to the Fed's (i.e. Transport Canada) oversight of all things aviation? As such, isn't their role tied to Transport Canada's role of ensuring aviation safety? If that's...

Re: Porter CSeries/Airport Expansion

Rockie, Good question. I think that this runway expansion is a dead end...(pardon the weak pun). If you add 1200 feet, plus stopway, plus the approach exclusion area, one soon realizes that the inner harbour area has become a NO sail zone.

Re: Porter's past secret problems spark concerns... Globe &

What is disturbing here is unclassified public safety documents being redacted to the point of uselessness under the guise of privacy. This culture of government secrecy has gone too far. Someone made an interesting comment addressing this. I'm paraphrasing....... Basically, a Safety Management Sys...

Re: " I've been Rouged " Brilliant marketing!

Slightly different opinion here. I've flown Westjet, Sunwing etc in the past.....Then I flew down to MBJ on an Air Canada mainline flight last year and decided the extra legroom + far superior IFE was worth the extra I paid.
