Heard through the grapevine that they will be stopping MRO work as there is no money to be made with other MRO's driving rates down...

The Dc10 fleet has a bad record of what?? The 10 has been around for more than 30 years and has had it's fair share of incidents/accidents...what is your point? Fundamentally this is another Douglas workhorse, it is just a first gen widebody that is showing it's age like 747 classics..

An export C of A is a nice thing to have as it means that the aircraft may be in decent shape depending on the country it is coming from, but that is all it is..Transport may give you some credit for having one and it may ease their workload a bit but they still have to do their due diligence..

From what I can read in the regs an M2 with type endorsement can do all the work and release the aircraft or he can oversee all the work being done and, if satisfied, can release the aircraft..An E license can only sign for the work they have accomplished and they also have to follow endorsement rul...

M 's can do all E work if they like...Only thing is most employers want an E license to do the work because they have far more faith in an E license doing an avionic job correctly...

AC is sunk, it is only matter of time and the feds are not going to step up this time.. Milton folowed the well trodden route that was so in favour in the US until about a year ago...that is the shareholders are god (that would include Milton) and accordingly he sold everything off. AC now owns very...

The answer is NO.

So now what?? I hear MAS has their own AMO and Tech air 2000 is gone with the wind...

LH has no interest in AC, they are German, what could they possibly want from AC other than some prime slots??? Seriously Ac is going down the chute this time, all over folks, there will be some reincarnation to maintain Canadian service but it will be a shadow of the former AC and that will not be ...

This is hilarious... it is real simple people...these sand diggers have no other place to go..they are simply going for broke and it will devastate them...Dubai is going broke fast and EK will follow...there won't be any traffic...it is not the apocalypse but you do have to look around and see thing...

Pllllease give us a break or was that supposed to be a joke???? pilots buying out AC and running it like a real airline!!!!! beeen there seen that hey pilots should do what they know best...fly airplanes...when it comes to the intricacies of managing such a complex thing as an international airline ...

Worked there for seven long years, nothing but broken promises and piles of BS plus the most toxic work environment I have ever seen....hey some people like it but way too much bs for me, watch your back...

I don't know where you been travelling with carry on tools but I have been around the world a few times and, these days, you are not carrying any tools onto a commercial passenger flight as a passenger...

Those are the facts put quite simply, sure one could go on and on as most AC's will but the reality is Canadian should have been let go to sink...oh well it is just the ongoing Canadian airline saga and I , for one, am so much happier since I left that rathole : )

This will not be good and you can be sure that the aviation world will be turned upside down..Airlines run on cash and what is the world short of now??? cash...you see all those banks going under or retrenching and demanding much more secure lending terms...as soon as somebody needs financing or ref...

Yeah they are part of that group. Sunwing may help them out but I wonder how exposed they were to Zoom as unsecured creditors are getting nothing..

Anyone know what is happening with Avianor/MAS at Mirabel? Heard they have a 777 in the old Transat hangar but they have been kicked out of one side of the hangar to make way for Pratt and Whitney.. with Zoom gone and the downturn wonder how they will do this winter...
