So I'm looking into flying home in the next few weeks so I go to aircanada.com to check prices and punch in my dates and click get flights. Looks like its $304 down and $324 back. Not bad. Not great, but not bad. So then I start thinking, maybe the wifey would want to come along too, (I'm traveling ...

If they don't, they will now.

Hi RB I usually do Phoenix or Seattle turns out of Toronto which gives me an 8 to 9 day month and at home next to my wife each night. This does not include vacation. Basically, if you can get 8 hours a day, your done in 10. Long Haul is not usually as productive. The most productivity I was able to...

If you are senior on the EMB, it is possible to work 8 days per month. and also be home every night. Wow. Thats the kind of gig I'm looking for. Is that just the Embraer or are there people on other aircraft that can work the same thing? I guess its probably pretty hard to get senior enough on a 32...

I'm curious, why does AC allow WestJetters to jumpseat?

It will feature a lighted runway 6,900 feet in length with instrument landing capability , a terminal building, and a maintenance and emergency services buil...

The planes have not come without their controversy and certainly didn't come cheap. I n total, the four planes purchased by the Canadian government will cost about $3.4 billion , a bill that caused a tremendous political upheaval in the House of Commons. Former defence minister Gordon O'Connor just...

He's probably just trying to compensate for a small package.

Yeah, me too

Wow. Two 738's? Thats a lot of passenger capacity. I would imagine they'd be flying people in from Edmonton and Calgary, but kinda makes you wonder if the airport will be equipped for IFR approaches. Syncrude's strip isn't but I have a feeling Suncor will spend the extra money for it. Sounds like it...

Magnetic Heading + Relative Bearing = Magnetic Bearing

Good luck on the IATRA.
