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?BGH wrote:Isn't the mtow of the 747-400 series 870,000 lbs?

Re: Mighty Planes - discovery Channel Sunday night
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

Re: Overnight air shipping in Canada (CargoJet, Skylink, etc
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 ...

Purolator is the middle man on that as well, as far as I know.L1011 wrote:What about Canada Post?Pugster wrote:Sorry DanJ...while you've got some of that correct, KF does fly for Purolator only.

Re: Overnight air shipping in Canada (CargoJet, Skylink, etc
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...

Re: 50 Q400 at WJ being farmed out
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...

Re: New Hangars for Porter
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...

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) ...
