Been hearing some rumors amongst the heat...... not one of the best canidates for SMS!!!

I hate to break up an entertaining fight but Charlie said: the useless tits at COPA have made no progress whatsoever This may surprise you, but we are in complete agreement on your appraisal of the utility of COPA. They do not represent the interests of myself or any other pilot that I know of. I m...

For some reason the message isn't clear that Nav Canada is not an arm of a specific Government Department aka Transport Canada nor is it a Crown Corporation with subsidies. Like Air Canada et al, it (NC) is a service provider and again like Air Canada it has a right and a duty to charge for its serv...

I am flying to NL within the next few weeks and my ticket has a Nav Can surcharge. Fair enough as it is normal business practice to pass on charges to the users of the service but can somebody explain to me why any portion of this surcharge by Air Canada, WestJet, JAZZ, and Canjet et al should go to...

For those who may be interested DECISION ALTITUDE (DA) . The DA applies to approach procedures where the pilot is provided with glidepath deviation information; e.g., ILS, MLS,LVP, LNAV/VNAV, Baro VNAV, or PAR. The DA is the barometric altitude, specified in feet above MSL, at which a missed approac...

I think I recall an incident similar to that one but it was a different company. Again, this can happen to anybody. No company is excluded from mishaps. . Canadian Airlines International(CAI) had an incident in CYHZ on approach to 06 a few years back. http://www.tsb.gc.ca/en/reports/air/1996/a96a00...

I think IATA uses 3 letter idents, so YEG could also be correct...

For publication( CAP Enroute Charts ,JEPP, AC and database producers etc) and operational( ATC,FSS) ICAO assigns idents for airports not IATA. Minor point I know but Aeronautical Information was my former life.

Thks

Wrong airport code. It's YEG for Edmonton International Airport, and LAX for Los Angeles. Actually it is CYEG as the official ICAO ident........ but I know all airlines use the navaid(YEG) identifier on boarding pass, baggage clains etc.. But as you know, ya gotta use CYEG to load up a STAR(RNAV) an...

Just a couple of items. First of all, I know nothing about the WJ ESP or the RRSP contributions made on their employees behalf so I will not pass judgment. However, it would be interesting to hear what the “health and benefits” plan they (WJ) and others airlines (outside of mainline Air Canada) have...

Does Mr. Irving give you a discount on gass....

How about that age old outfit called "retired". You haven't gotta worry about anything and it is all fond memories

"It was made very clear that Canadian would not be allowed to fold like a cheap suit. Be it Gerry or Robert, the government did not care but AC had little choice in the matter." Yes, I do believe you have it right. The Liberal administration at the time was not going to let a major western founded a...

Here is my retired 55 yr old two cent view(and it may be worth less that that). If you are young, single blast off to Jazz. It will be an experience that you may never get again. However if you have a partner with dependants and you are in the late 20's, early 30's sit down with he or she and discus...

Great plan Cat. Why don't we steal a Catalina, then we can splash down in New Orleans and clean out a WalMart of their Uzis on the way! Hey, I am endorsed on a pigboat aka PBY-5A or Canso or the official designation on my ATPL CV-14. Can I come and to throw in a sweetner since I am a designated Inst...

Well there is always movement.......... speaking of JAZZ, one of their very senior technical pilots with a very good background and may have been the Director of Flifgt Operations at one time( I know the individual and have had many conversations on Instrument Approach Procedures) has left to join m...

Ditto for me also. The situation in New Orleans is the Bush Adminstration at it's finess, going to be a very black mark on old"W" as time goes by and all the facts come it. Ain't gonna be pretty

Thank Christ, for a flight director(EFIS) coupled to the autopilot with the Flight Management System…..

I did some contract work this past spring out of CYZF and had the opportunity to fly with Canadian North. from CYEG to CYZF and back What a nice airline they are running even got a hot meal(both ways) and a real cup for my coffee. Flew in a B737-200, very clean a/c and the cabin crew couldn't do en...

"Best thing Westjet can do is to add some cash to its coffers and start to bully Canjet, the weakest of the 3 major airlines in Canada out of buisness." I am from the Maritimes and continue to live here, CanJet is a good little airline that provides an excellent service. Hopefully WJ will not bully ...
