Yes, in that ballpark. Are there an 744's here though? Are the former AC birds parked in the desert and still owned by them, or are they in service somewhere else now?

I was just telling my wife I was going to delete my PVR timer for Mighty Ships, since I've seen them all, several times, and she was happy to not have it filled with those shows. Now she'll be really happy for me to have something new to set the timer for LOL

Canada Post owns 94% of Purolator. http://www.purolator.com/dbwp/corporate_history.html Puro is still operated as a separate company. Maybe (likely) Puro had the inside track for the CP contract because of the ownership structure, but my point was, Puro handles the CP contract and deals with KF on ...

What about Canada Post?

Purolator is the middle man on that as well, as far as I know.

It's also not true to say KFC flies exclusively Purolator and Morningstar flies exclusively Fedex. Every night, depending on space, you will see packages from most of the courier companies on a Purolator flight. There is also Puro freight being carried by Cargojet. Barry Lapointe is also a minority...

Why would they start another company if the idea was to make it easy for pilots to move from jets to props and vice versa? Why do you think that is the idea behind getting another aircraft type? I don't. I was responding to the post I quoted. Seems pretty clear to me. Obviously WS isn't planning to...

Wouldn't some of the 'ported' 737 FO's that are domiciled in YYZ rather be YYZ based Q400 Capt? Will this opportunity be available or is the 'separate company' plan a barrier to improving the lifestyle of 737 pilots that will be commuting indefinitely and are years away from the left seat at WJ mai...

I wonder if they will still have the carrier landing in a Lear 45 adventure that was in FS98 LOL.

Yeah, right. If you believe that, you'd also believe that Rogers and Bell will become business partners too LOL

I dunno. I guess I should ask Joe WTF!

That's what was reported on the news in YXU yesterday.

Story in the London Free Press today about what a dud the new cargo hangar is (used to park the airport manager's plane, and there was a stag and doe in there as well). Wonder if the airside doors are big enough for a Q400?

Good news. I didn't realize they had gone completely electronic. I would imagine its much more convenient. Can you see if you got the upgrade right away or do you have to wait till you are boarding the AC? I believe it's confirmed at whatever window you get to upgrade at based on your status. Super...

Why am I having flashbacks to that WKRP episode where they did the Turkey drop, but used frozen turkeys instead? LOL

A peace officer doesn't have to witness a crime to act. A citizen does. Cops don't have as much power as people think. It only takes 3 months to become a cop. And these days they will hire just about anyone who can point a taser... 3 months? I think minimum is 6-8 no? My neighbour finished his 12 w...

Not quite. He used his SE status to get the gate agent (who had no idea who he was, other than an SE) ... So in other words show up at the gate for a closed flight with a SE card, with no other id, and it'll magically reopen. Not always or maybe even very often, and probably depends somewhat on how...

We bought 5 A310s for the military and Cretien swore he'd never fly in them. Well, for my dollars, when the Prime Minister of Japan or the United States roll up in their 400s, how does it look when our man shows up in a Challenger? Canadians may not care but I can tell you overseas it is viewed qui...

Bob Rae bumped some guy out of 1st class on Big Red a few weeks ago because he's a Super Elite. Is there no level of hypocrisy below which a politicain will not fall? :) Not quite. He used his SE status to get the gate agent (who had no idea who he was, other than an SE) to open the door to the jus...

Work to rule, by definition, is working according to the rules in place, so I can't see how that would be illegal.
