Shiny Side Up, what I meant to say was less than perfect condition. I don't imagine people only fly in the mountains when there is no wind, clouds or turbulence.

Doc, I've got the gel seals but the frames do break the seal. Maybe I should get smaller frames, what do you think?

DC 13.4 works well for me. Only issue for me is that noise levels are noticeable higher with glasses on. Are there any headsets that are designed to work better with glasses on?

Thanks for all the great feedback guys.
Airtide I have my mountain "rating", done on a perfect day. I agree with you that there is nothing more valuable than seeing the ugly stuff with an experienced instructor. Do you have any suggestions in the lower mainland?

Thanks SkyKing. The only problem with the pireps is that you get a lot of people crying sever turbulence anytime they hit a few bumps around those hills. Do you think a normal summer day with the usual convective activity is it worth climbing to lets say 9500 or 10500 as opposed few hundred above in...

What was your alt over hope-Princeton hump? How bumpy was it? I'm asking because I'm planning on doing it with my girl and she don't like the bumps.

Only in the airline business. I wish I could go bankrupt and turnaround and buy a new home and car on credit

how about second officer?

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0020960/ There are some incredible dogfight scenes in this film. In one shot I counted at least 35 biplanes in one big dog fight, with all kinds of spins, spirals and other crazy things going on. I don't know much about aerobatics but it looked very horny! I wonder if yo...

I'm calmer than you.

And well said as well bedhead. But the point remains, are the consumers really going to oppose the presence of American carriers at the end of all this pain? Let's face it ,there are plenty of Canadians on the us/can boarder right now that make the drive through customs to depart on an American car...

Why do you think the average canadian is willing to spend 3 times the amount on a ticket to watch a millionaire chase a puck on the ice over a ticket on an airline where a guy holds the lives of his entire audience in his hands? You said it man. Most passengers take airline transport and pilots for...

that's bull! They'll be out searching for the cheapest ticket in no time. you get what you pay for, why should AC come and bail your ass for free.

On an operating basis, before items like taxes, interest, aircraft rent and non-recurring items, ACE's loss of $3 million compares favourably with the $77-million operating loss a year earlier. Maybe I'm missing something - how can you have an operating loss and still declare a profit - I'm no acco...

Here's an update. Apparently a second helicopter may have been involved.

Piglet, I'm not saying they shouldn't be compensated for their troubles, but just because you have a scare on an aircraft doesn't mean you should sue the company into the ground. Should you sue because you got really scared flying in a thunderstorm and wet your self? :cry: Should you sue because the...

They probably suffer from now very rare condition called integrity. I guess not everyone thinks of airlines as a potential lottery.

This is why there will never be a UAV passenger airliner. Design flaw, retarded ground crew, terrorist, who cares when you can blame the pilot for not dealing with it. The best part is you will never have a shortage of pilots ready to rip into the accused. reportedly (from the post RCMP interviews) ...

He did say he just went up north and is trying to save cash, I figured I'll be a couple of years before he sees a cockpit . I'd rather eat the whale blubber too.

Whaaaaaaaaaaaaaat! This must be a new record! 4 posts = 4 people ready for blood.
