I've worked in the States and the training at the regional airlines in the U.S. is a lot harder than it is here in Canada. When it comes the majors airlines in the States, their first officers don't meet bare minimums, they exceed it with thousands of hours of transport category jet time unlike Air...

:!: :arrow: Pay still sucks, still really disorganized, no movement, shut up and do your job attitude ( with legit concerns), dfo is an idiot, everyone in the office including dispatchers have a title ( very top heavy org) Honestly all Chartright cares about is image to their customers and doesn't g...

I’m a really upset shareholder these days. Discovery Air and the stock seem to be going nowhere in a hurry. It’s becoming pretty clear that this company is a colossal waste of time and us shareholders are their suckers. We are sitting with a 15 cent stock, a stock that was worth over 10 times that,...

Well Kids, Stay tuned to this space... I'll be interviewing a major executive at DA on Monday, I plan to ask about all these issues, get the facts, and will let you know what I find out. Talking to the people I have on this already, I can see there is a serious lack of factual information floating ...

Have a good weekend!

Indeed!
I hope there are no hard feelings...
And a good weekend to you too sir.

Obviously you are a bias opinion. Maybe the never amounted to a pinch of coon shit statement was a little harsh. The fact that I am trying to make is the shady way that everything went down, if you can provide and info on how it was otherwise fine i would love to hear from you. Otherwise the one th...

haha as far as I know the real analysts have already judged and it reflects in the stock market. Ok Bus Driver, so how long do you want to run in circles around this? The qoute was: "DA and "their vision" never amounted to a pinch of coon shit." Are you truly that ignorant? What the analysts are re...

AboveTheRuin You are pretty well correct from an investors point of view. What you are lacking is an experience point of view. Those in the know, are well aware of the fact, that the GNWT is only throwing good money at bad money. This whole show has had its final curtain call. The other piss off is...

to quote a part of the ruin's post and a most accurate description in my opinion " but it seems that the big-dick (or so they like to think) syndrome came into effect. The big ego’s associated with some of these personalities (some more then others) began to show their ugly colors." very good obser...

Hopefully we'll see the $2 stock again. $0.10 was just too good to turn down and I need a new computer. On a serious note though, the move the Yellowknife should be an interesting one, and hopefully the right for all those involved. Can't wait to see what it brings though. Yeah, the move will be in...

Normally I just sit back and laugh at the stupidity of the majority posts that plague avcanada threads, but you gentlemen have taken it to a new level. You may want to educate yourselves before publicly posting such blatant ignorance to the reality behind what has gone on with DA. I guess everyone ...

Wonder why they wouldn't have borrowed from themselves? http://www.theglobeandmail.com/servlet/story/LAC.20080528.EXEC28//TPStory/Travel http://www.pwbank.com/ I think because it would be the "Peter paying Paul" principle. Both outfits are broke..well they were until they got bailed out. I bet the ...

I agree with you abovetheruin, but the Citation in question is a Citation II I do believe. The Piaggio turboprop is faster! But, not slamming anyone, just having some fun, glad to see guys like Sulako choosing the corporate sector as their career choice. It's all good ~ We arn't a tight-ass group o...

"The jet is small, but cool. Like a sportscar. " A sportscar, don't you fly a Citation???!!!...haha just kidding. Take care! never knew the slowtation was considered a sportscar :P :roll: Ummm, okay...I'm sorry, but I can't help and be a bit of a smart-ass in responce to you two gentalman above. Ci...

That's not Us Aiays pilots......Those are the regional guys! Chatauqua or something?? That is what you get when you hire @ 250TT!! :lol: I wonder what the Co-pilot (whom I imgaine was the PNF), was thinking on Final! "wow do the trees look nice outside?" What a stupid post...you just keep em' comin...

:arrow: Background: I hold a TCCA ATP & a FAA ATP. I have been flying for an airline in the U.S. the past few years. My FAA ATP and IFR is obviously current do to my Part 121 (airline) flying.

STL, thanks for your replay…It seems you have been in this industry a long time, and I value your responses…I have generated the following questions for yourself or anyone else with some insight. I came from a FW background as well, the main difference being that I had a tonne of bush/mountain/VFR t...

Ok here’s the deal… First a little about myself: I’m currently a fixed-wing pilot flying regional jets for a major U.S. air carrier. I hold a Transport Canada ATPL and an FAA ATP. I have always held a strong desire to fly helicopters (ever since my early days of flight) and now, thanks to a lot of h...
