Way back 73-74 doing my CPL at MFC, there were students from Pakistan there same time. Not bad chaps, their English was quite good however they did like to partake in the drink , chase Moncton/Dieppe girls with success mind you. They didn’t seem to take flying training all that serious at times as c...

Guess what wasn’t cut says a lot also. The YYT/YQX/YDF/YYR to Halifax is intact and as well Halifax to Toronto, Montreal etc wasn’t either. The YSJ/YQM/YFC to same points westbound still there. The puddle jumping B1900 between points as I mentioned earlier got the axe, although was surprised by YFC ...

Not surprised really as here in Maritimes much of the cancelled stuff was B1900 flying aka Saint John/Fredericton/Moncton/ Charlottetown To Halifax. It may be rough for people from those places who want to go to NL as they will be forced to drive to Halifax or route through Montreal , Toronto to NL....

Here in Maritimes, the four Provinces NB,PE,NS and NL created their own internal bubble in that internal restrictions have been lifted on travel amongst residents. No need for self isolation, however it has been noted many are spooked about US citizens who seem to be getting into NB despite closures...

Deleted.

It can’t be denied there is an element of frustration as we move toward the summer months in that people want to get on with their lives, get their jobs back and carry on with normal living. There is associated risk but for some(younger generation), such risk may very well be acceptable to them. I r...

I really hope both of you are right and it would be my pleasure to be told I am full of shit with my old age pessimism, I sincerely mean that. I won’t get into political drift however the economy has to right itself for all our sake’s, soonest the better.
Cheers.

That’s a reasoned approach and quality commentary from a knowledgeable person as yourself Mr. Hudicourt. If I may be so bold , I would add what is the confidence level in the travelling Canadian public so far, amongst my own small circle, not very. Not scientific mind you but I keep hearing until a ...

IMHO, 3- 4 years for major recovery but it will never again be as big as it was 3 months ago. I say this as covid 19 is rewriting the global economic playbook. Online meetings are really going to chip into the business segment. That's a huge revenue stream for AC and Westjet, and both companies wil...

Since privatisation would be the metric, and it would be a huge positive amount for Canada. Maybe .. maybe not. Canadians could really care less at the end of the day, I see more calls/comments to let airlines go bankrupt .. We’ll see what the drama teacher brings to the table. I wouldn’t hold my b...

Reminds me of this one....sort of....

Knew both individuals involved..

Onex spent billions on it purchase and will work towards making it a leaner meaner carrier. Onex only spend around $300M on the purchase (sorry, don't have the exact number). The rest came from other unknown investors. AC has been bankrupt how many times and comes back stronger. The feds won't let ...

His comments go far beyond tactless and deserve nothing less than contempt. As for this incident, in the 12 seconds this pilot had I can think of at least four things he had to immediately assess and act on besides the immediate aerodynamic situation that a non-ejection seat, non-formating pilot do...

Sorry Braun, as a customer of Nav Canada I don't see it like that at all. How many Nav Canada employees lost their job or took a pay cut due to Covid? That's right. Sack some ATCO's. That'll make everything better. Well, they’ve started offering packages for people to retire. We are losing ATCO’s b...

Allright, let’s wrap up the investigation. We’re done. leftoftrack found the cause of the accident. This leftoftrack dude , similar to the pelmet individual would appear to me to be an act, troll perhaps a to strong term. You know the RCAF, it’s standards, requirements in all aspects and like other...

I would respectfully suggest if a poll was taken from the general public, replacement ac for Snowbirds wouldn’t rate very high, probably wouldn’t even register. At this conjecture it would be who cares, way more pressing issues. Having said that I always enjoyed Snowbirds aerial demonstrations, star...

Ok fair comment. However enlighten us on what “Scheer Nonsense, The Toole , Chopper MacKay” would do better if either was the sitting PM. Honestly .. I'm not in favour of anyone currently running. I think the truly intelligent people steer clear of the political life which is why we are left with n...

The problem is that even a massive government handout doesn't bring anyone back to work in June. People aren't flying, if traffic volumes were half of what they were last summer I would be shocked. Airlines are looking at restructuring with a time frame of late Q4 to Q3 of 2021. Government assistan...

The world over reacted and we are all going to suffer for it .. The government failed us and will continue to fail us in the days ahead. This is what we get for electing a drama teacher who's riding his fathers coattails ... Ok fair comment. However enlighten us on what “Scheer Nonsense, The Toole ...

Some would suggest JT played the ball in his court quite very in that he blew deficit projections through the roof and well into orbit by helping as best as possible in an extraordinary challenging situation. I kinda doubt at this point in time CR is gonna intimidate The JT administration in any wa...

This announcement by AC is simply a response to the lack of industry specific support from YOW. Shock and awe. AC is telling YOW that making fully repayable loans available (and thereby loading up the debt side of the balance sheet) is not good enough, particularly considering state aid being given...

Not good, perhaps expected though

Convid 19 Considering the old age and unhealthy demographic of a lot of sunspot vacation passengers, will the vacation world return to normal. A lot of passangers heading to Cuba and Florida are old and a lot are just straight up unhealthy with all kinds of issues. Often times I look at some and th...

So we’ve established only people over 60 are vulnerable enough to care about. So let’s just isolate them until there’s a vaccine and the rest of us can go about our business. That’s only a year or two of not being to visit our parents or grandparents. No big deal, right? Gawd...focus will you? Ther...

https://thewinglet.boardingarea.com/carnival-cruise-bookings-surge-600-after-announcing-august-relaunch/ Don’t know how accurate, however wouldn’t surprise me one bit. There appears to be pent up demand even from an industry that didn’t get a stellar reputation dealing with Covid-19. People are gonn...
