Many questions cannot be answered without going to have a look myself. What exactly is a "minor" leak anyway? What does this passenger know? To a fraidycat passenger on his first flight, a streak of bug guts on the cowling is misinterpreted as a leak. To a student pilot trying to impress the young l...

So, I have to wonder, what Airline Management MBA level course was this guy in and in which department is he warming a desk?

So if a pilot-provided "RSC" is of no value to the system, is a PIREP treated the same way? (ie - having no legal standing as it not observed directly by a "qualified" person) What about when ATC/FSS asks us for a "braking report", "cloud base check", upper winds report, etc.? This is all about lawy...

Thanks to all for your input and contributions... After a few more days to mull over the situation, I have come to the conclusion that a physics/mathematical formulae to demonstrate a greater than 5mph impact are helpful, but redundant for the following reasons. After all, if one was to try to expla...

local media coverage... http://www.abbynews.com scroll to items 10 and 11 in the list scroll to item 9 for a story worthy of another thread photos available via the abbynews site By ROCHELLE BAKER Abbotsford News Jan 11 2007 A Bell 47 G-2 helicopter carrying two men made an emergency landing on the ...

Thanks all. The plot thickens, as I am in receipt of a letter today from the "insurer". "... the physical nature of the impact forces involved in the collision, as well as YOUR PHYSICAL CONDITION AT THE TIME OF THE ACCIDENT ( my emphasis added), has led us to believe... did not result in any compens...

Thanks for the contributions. 1 The insurer is in fact ICBC. I am learning that the interests of the liable party are better represented than my interests. 2 My wife has reminded me that the impact was probably not exactly straight on, but canted at an angle of maybe 10 degrees, as the other party w...

Thanks for the replies so far. 1 I am injured as a result. 2 The tires on the "bullet" car were likely locked up as the road was slippery as mentioned. 3 The road was level. 4 Without getting too specific, the insurer is saying that despite $1800 damage to my vehicle, there is insufficient material ...

Assistance requested of any "rocket scientist" types. I was recently hit in a rearender collision, and one of the legal wrangles I will be faced with is the impact speed. I realise that some cases actually will have an engineer who specialises in accident recontruction. This accident has not resulte...

Here's a scoop for all of you... John Ferguson Jr. was so impressed by Stefan after seeing that, he's working on a deal that will bring him to The Laffs. he'll fit right in.

Big deal, the Maple Laffs for the first time in eons are on the good end of a lop-sided score. Sorry Mssrs Cole, Neale, and the couple of dozen misguided residents of Leafs nation, what eactly is the team's record today? I'm not a disloyal Canadian if I don't march down right now and book a flight t...

Everyone has forgotten what the true measure of an efficient Canadian airport is...

Before anyone gets all huffy that this is an anti-Porter post, perish the thought. In fact, I wish them well. What a concept, service, something which seems to be lost in an industry that has dumbed down to the lowest common denominator -"how cheap can I fly?". Totally opposite to the "buy a pilow" ...

I was certain there would be lots of blather about Porter's first day. Any word on loads, media coverage, hiccups.etc.
Inquiring minds need to know.

TSN states the bleedin' obvious: "Mogilny ruled physically unfit to play". The NJ Devils are just learning what a liability this clown has been over the years.

Movie was LAME! Most memorable for its bad moments. One of the many: Ground level view of the plane on "final" in apparently mountainous Manitoba, as the North Shore mountains of Vancouver are in the background. Another scene, Captain has four bars on one shoulder and three on the other. This could ...
