Is it just me, or do the ads that pop up between every post make this site almost unusable? Not just you. Long loading times and way too much battery and data usage as well. It is becoming expensive to use this website. I run Ad Blocker Pro which loads through Safari on my IPad and works great as I...

Actually, a Global 7500 would suit His Highness and His Sycophants perfectly, however, the entourage of media and support miscellany would require an additional aircraft, such as a second-hand Boeing 737-900ER once owned by a Middle-East potentate. Ultimately, a two (2) aircraft minimum is required...

Indeed, time to unload that clunker.

Dare I suggest ‘tis probably a group of established shysters looking for other people’s money. B747-400, are those delegated as trash haulers or failing that have designated plots in that desert aircraft graveyard and used as “organ donators” for the surviving trash haulers

I believe the PAPIs were covered in snow. I suspect that the depth perception was minimal but that there were lights in sight so they continued with the required visual references in sight. But while the CAP lists the required visual references, I believe it may be hidden in the CARS where it talks...

This Canada Jetlines joke is still managing to get itself in the media, hopefully it gets less than scant attention.

You guys maybe missed my point, no one (passengers) cares and remembers and swears that they'll never fly the 787 because of the battery issue. The sad thing is that after a bit of time the MAX crashes will fade and for cheap tix, the same "Ill never fly in one again" crowd will happily hop in! As ...

or fly into St. John's

Did that a few times many years back piss cutting over the south side hills when the gales of November came slashing .

I'd fly on it tomorrow here in Canada or in the US, but I will never fly on Lion Air or Ethiopian Air, on any aircraft ever. Ditto for me. I wouldn’t hesitate to get on a MAX with AC, WJ or any North American carrier. As for Lion and Ethiopian, my chance for considering them for any travel plans li...

An observation from this old codger. Why do chaps make comments on Air Canada’s salary structure when they (a) do not work at that airline (b) explicitly imply they have no desire to do so. If I am reading and understanding from this site correctly Air Canada doesn’t have any issues regarding recrui...

I say this so called Jetlines will finally fold up like a cheap tent and be blown into the aviation crevasse and be deposited amongst the remains of similar claptrap enterprises - hopefully never to be heard from again.

Over the many years I have always enjoyed the Snowbird performances when I got the opportunity to watch them. Kinda hope they continue but there probably will come a time.....

From a personal prospective: I don’t give a Cape Breton Fiddlers F- - k

My favourite guy is the bow tie dude who has the big airport named after him, I can even remember the flag debate now that had the masses going. If Twitter and FB were around, oh boy........

OK, y’all don’t want JT back as PM and/or think he has been a disaster. For sure and fair enough, tell us then who should replace him. Just asking!

It is very close to 6 years which includes 10 pages of multiple comments with this Canada Jetlines joke on the AV forum. Hopefully the 7th year will see an end to it once and for all- tis time.

Hi, trying to figure out if I have a leg to stand on. Here's the situation: worked for a small regional and left before the bond was up. When I left, the airplane was in maintenance, and still is, over 3 months later. At the time, there were solid rumors from mamagement that the plane was sold (rea...

Apparently Adria Airways (Slovenia) is on the edge as well. Two planes repossessed by lessors yesterday. Apparently a third one is on the way out. https://www.total-slovenia-news.com/business/4569-adria-cancels-flights-after-2-planes-grounded-due-to-payment-default Always been happening as long as ...

Bus struck wingtip of his(PET) charter AC DC-9, I think the collision cleaned out windshield of bus, thankfully no injuries. On the latest issue one would think there would be some basic training on how to maneuver buses around aircraft , especially with drivers who never been around aircraft. Faili...

Jets flying is done with dedicated FA's and a maintenance engineer. The pilots are regular line pilots assigned to the flying like any other flying. Some falls to reserve. Last minute Jets flying (irregular/unpredictable) like this often gets picked up by management so as not to disturb the operati...

Always very sad to hear of a promising young aviators life snuffed out.

Not that I know very much about this issue,mind you but I don’t ever remember AC having difficulties filling pilot seats despite the initial wage structure. From what I have been reading here pilots at WJ, Encore, Swoop, Porter , Expats et al seem to think AC is a good bet. Not to mention AC’s own s...

With the latest from the European consortiums, the door is now wide open for Canada to purchase the F-35 which I believe will happen. When the contract is officially signed and the aircraft enter RCAF service nobody will care about the 2015 politicking that went on.
