I have been trying to wean myself off this site past few years but best I could do was a six month exclusion- I am kinda my own worst enemy. Eighty percent of what is posted on this forum doesn’t interest me but on occasion there are topics(PS 752) that tweaks interest, hence “keyboard “ action. Hav...

Personally I thought there was good robust debate, points of view expressed combined with decent knowledge on the subject and location - kinda impressive if I was to venture an opinion.

Another angle ....

However in this case I am confused as to what Iran hoped to gain in deliberate destruction of a commercial airliner especially towards a country(Ukraine) they permitted to operate within its domestic airspace. Maybe it was the Russians who want to sucker the US into another middle east war? Just pu...

“Early morning after you just bombed US bases? You know some trigger-happy guys were pulling all nighters with their fingers on the buttons. So not only was the capacity for a shoot down there, it was on the edge...... “ There has been precedence established for sure. Note Russia vs Korean Air B747 ...

Into my 7th decade now but do remember some pax flights on the TCA early stuff aka DC-3,North Star, Super Connie, Viscount and Vanguard. My memory(although fading) is as follows: DC-3 , swayed and rolled plenty, not comfy in back end. North Star was very noisy in all flight regimes with those liquid...

Once operational, is the A220 in the Maritime schedule YHZ or YYT.

Indeed....... somehow I don’t this will be a burning issue with 90% of the population.

I gotta agree with L39Guy. We live in a blameless society when it comes to people. NEVER blame the individual. Look elsewhere. Memory drills were forgotten, ignored, or done incorrectly. Yes MCAS V.1 was poorly designed, but the 737's in question were NEVER uncontrollable. Memory drills are memory ...

I have been there several times but for some reason have never gotten around to a helicopter tour. Would like to but one thing is for sure....I would definitely not go if the weather seemed at all marginal. There have just been too many crashes that I have read about over the years. Mostly CFIT. On...

Yikes. You would think the system would catch up to him sooner or later with all of those failures :rolleyes: Indeed. With this individual’s checkered past and a demonstrated ability not to meet training standards with past employers, that would certainly follow him as he moved around. Not that I k...

Referencing commentary that has been posted, perhaps( in my view) this could be considered as a “task saturated” single pilot operation towards the end of a long flight, evening time approach in less than stellar wx. Sadly it ended in tragic consequences for what was regarded as well respected and e...

When this thread was initially posted, I thought it won’t get past the first page until JT’s name gets mentioned by some of the sites most illustrious “common-taters”. AvCanada never disappoints .

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.
