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.

They must be quite the pair to vacation and socialize with

I passed through a terminal recently which had a lot of Swoop flights and almost ...

The answer has nothing to do with outstanding orders or how long a replacement would take to come online. The answer is whether the public will fly on it again. If enough people refuse to book a trip on one the model will be cancelled. Majority of the travelling public couldn’t tell the difference ...

Co-joe that sucks, and thats what a CP is supposed to do - filter out those that are ready vs those that aren't. Years ago I was in a similar situation where one of my FO's/ trainees was literally the worst Ive ever flown with, had a horrible attitude and was not receptive to critique. I was young ...

Interesting idea but unfortunately you'd still be using airplane hot water :vom: Are you suggesting tis best if I drink beer in lieu of yer airline coffee. Every single time! :drinkers: Duly noted. Since you cockpit flight crews mentioned yer company coffee I have to say as a passenger noticed over...

May I recommend something like this. https://www.sportchek.ca/product/gsi-commuter-javapress-blue-331810657.html?gclsrc=aw.ds&gclid=Cj0KCQjwp5_qBRDBARIsANxdcimjWTzrEEzBDwrHJbMrw4Hfxdlmz2p-X1VHYrH6Odg9TCEaOARaEeQaAhg2EALw_wcB&gclsrc=aw.ds#331810657=331810659 Bring your own beans and change it up.

“WJ will have 25 787s by 2030 easy. They'll be overcapacity across the whole market and I'll end up laid off and it'll just be CANADIAN all over again.” Then a western based PM will lean very hard on ole Air Canada to do the preverbal buyout citing massive disruption should that western entity go do...

Speaking from someone who never went the airline route, if your new prospective employer is Air Canada and if I was filling your current boots I would grab that opportunity no hesitation. Best of luck in your decision.

I bet a good many academics/tenured Professors have a different view, I mean research and travel is an essential component of academic freedom so are all not gonna jump on that silly bandwagon on no flying. There are odd ball views & positions everywhere(yes, including aviation) however I am not of ...

Thought I heard it all.....

No, tc did not have a hands off approach. They had high profile inspectors of the day on site, as opposed to sitting in some government cubicle. Like they do now. Contrary to the hype, many good and qualified people were doing their work as anyone would expect. And.......yes.....a horrible accident...
