Why does load block dash 8 flights for Weight and balance?
Just curious why jazz blocks seats for load including the JS? This is out of YYZ. Is the Jazz Q400 not capable of a full load off of 100000 feet?

Re: Clarity on Bases
Heard a rumour that YHZ DH8 flying is being taken over by the E2? Any word on the effects this may have on the base?

Re: Transition from the bush to an airline - I could really use some advice
With current applications and hiring at Porter/encore/jazz you would be an easy hire onto a q400. There are 800 hour instructors/172 survey pilots that are being hired currently.
