The sign was likely taken down for ease the number of complaints they receive from customers when they're constantly jacking their TV & Internet fees up while having a very visible corporate flight department.

its very early, but some sad news in on another Malaysian jet down, KYIV, Ukraine – A Ukrainian official said a Malaysian passenger plane carrying 295 people was shot down Thursday over a town in the east of the country. Anton Gerashenko, an adviser to Ukraine’s Interior Minister, said on his Facebo...

It has been removed before flight. They are just storing the pin there until it goes back into the slide disarm mechanism at the end of the flight. Absolutely correct, the pin is stored in another hole during closing and flight, the plastic guard is then closed over. After landing the disarm lever ...

Good looking bird

Controllers - many retired and the remaining controllers got offered jobs around western canada If any of them are lurking on here I want to say thanks for your service, for putting up with me as a student pilot years ago, and that it's been a pleasure flying in and out all these years. Best wishes...

That was awesome and a great shot!

Here's some additional news coverage of the flight including an interview with the crew. http://edmonton.ctvnews.ca/video?playlistId=1.1567913 Again congratulations to Tom and the many many volunteers who helped make that happen! Great job! Tom, I hope you were able to finally sleep better last nigh...

A couple more pic's

I did my very last flight in and out of XD this afternoon, just before my former co-workers flew her out to her new home.

Great job Tom and all the crews from CDN

As always, time will tell if they get off the starting blocks.

Either way I wish them success and best of luck

This is just another example of what it takes to keep an airline flying or not. Blind adherence to rules and regulations is cold comfort when the pooch gets screwed. It just points to a lack of operational and social intelligence on the parts of the sticky operatives. The FA ignored the potential d...

1900 and 2500 hours for the crew of a 737! http://www.avweb.com/avwebflash/news/Russian-Officials-Blame-Crew-In-Fatal-Crash220987-1.html Really? 2500 hrs for the Capt I am assuming, really? OMG! I don't mean to be disrespectful of the dead, but only in Russia comes to mind. I'm not sure what the la...

I am still at a loss for this plan, it does not make any sense what-so-ever! Generally I am all for development and growth but this project just seems out there from a business perspective, in my humble opinion. If you guys are planning it for a training airport okay but for a Corporate/charter airp...

Wow, so lucky to be alive, but some very damaging video to the pilot

pile_it,

Thank you so much, you made me laugh so much that I thought I would pee myself.

I'm sorry I don't have anything nearly that funny

A VERY NICE PIECE OF WRITING!

Thanks for sharing Tom

Is 7F starting to suck eggs these days ? They should have expanded into the northern Alberta crew change work like 5T did and they too would be doing much better than just the same ole' arctic work which fluctuates very little...that company lost its heart and hasn't been the same since they got ri...

Tom,

Let me know if you need a crew to fly her out, I would make myself available

Congratulations Bombardier!

Its great to see her finally take to the skies

A ton of hard work by many people, enjoy your success today

Sadly, for me I likely will never fly in or out of XD ever again, I expect my last flight happened in the fall of 2010 when I flew a CRJ900 in there after YEG was down due to fog. It was fun bringing the 900 in there and wondered if I managed to piss-off any of the closure supporters. I remember fir...

Once again, many people quick to jump to judgement without looking My perspective from the video was that he shut the engine down just before touchdown which from a very limited point of assessment leads one to believe that it was indeed intentional. If indeed that was the situation, it was well don...

+1

That somewhat depends on your definition of success.

I honestly hope that they've created something really special, because they're competing against a well proven, well received, praised and loved a/c by both pilots, passengers and airlines. Sorry, are you referring to the Embraer E190? Passenger, pilot and airline acceptance in my part of the world...

Delays, delays and more delays. I know its common for new types and it can be frustrating, but its also the nature of the process. Personally, I hope that Bombardier get this program off the ground (pardon the pun) and has great success with the C series especially being a great Canadian company. Bu...
