Re: Citation down North of Kelowna

IF: There was an engine failure.

There is an "Engine Out Complex Special" departure.

I can't imagine a single pilot operation going thru these
9 steps during an emergency operation.

There is a good presentation in the new ground school on this subject by the head of iSMS. I suggest you could argue the po...

Re: The life of a "New Hire"

"Nothing has changed, except that under the last point, ACPA was protecting the senior pilots from an Air Ontario pilots lawsuit."

To all of the experts with your negative remarks about the RJ.
You are now promoted to CEO of an airline with a very good balance sheet.
Sales have identified several routes of between 300-1000 nm that would produce 30-50 pax per flight. Which aircrafts would you now consider?
