It's been a while since this NOTAM was issued but, make me wonder if the AVGAS issue played a hand here.

Re: Where would he be now

Flying standby with kids is entirely possible. You just have to be more strategic/flexible with your plans. I was with Jazz for eight years. In those, my kids (now 10 & 11) have been on the Great Wall, seen Hong Kong, walked around the Pyramids of Giza and traveled through Eastern Europe to Turkey. ...

When the TSB is done (and I think they are) with the airplane, they should gift that propeller to Ms. Kurylo. I know I would want to mount that on my wall.

Rather than giving this guy $12k cash, it should be given to him in Aeroplan points.

Lots of room in a Dash 8 for a flight bag. Personally I carry one of those Swiss rollar bags that Costco carries. Works great and keeps all my Jepp amendments handy. I'll get to them one day :wink:

Re: Castlegar CYCG

I imagine that it has something to do with reliable satellite reception in the valleys. Coupled with the fact when you’re coming in from the North East to go over the airport, you are pointed straight at a mountain ridge.

Hey,

As far as I can tell, if you remove the 'position:relative' from the footer style your footer will move back under your container DIV.

IE doesn't give much merit to background images in DIVs so if you'd like to have all four displayed you'll have to give the DIV a height
