Re: Female Edmonton Centre controllers do Calender

I said, "great calendar by the way" after she cleared us en route, she didn't sound too impressed and said, "I didn't know they were available to the public yet." Was it something I said?!

Re: First Air - reduces Edmonton flights, adds YVQ

Hmm, who knew that gouging could be justified by supporting a few scholarships and sports teams here and there. Gouging is still gouging. You obviously have no idea what the cost is to run a northern airline vs a southern one... First Air's flight reductions should give you a bit of a clue. They ha...

Re: Low vis procedures-What did these guys do wrong?

This being said, ATC will not stop any aircraft from taxiing or initiating taxi when visibility drops - they will advise you of the conditions and ask for your intentions.

Go up north, with the industry the way it is now, you will be put on a turbine right away and you don't have to sign a bond at most places. My previous company alone put 4 guys fresh outta school on the be20 within a year and they only have 2!!!

Re: King Air 200 F/O

I started flying the 200 with 300 hours and no IATRA. So no, you don't need it. It is high performance but it is a single pilot aircraft.
