I'd guess the few glaring omissions are the few times an experienced pilot would be required to get the aircraft on the ground safely.

Pretty much exactly what I was thinking.

They got a GPS approach very quickly

Nice to see someone finally notice. Good Rant Rick, but 6 or so years late. Air Canada has been systematically 'eliminating' full time positions for permanent part time positions since CCAA. I know an Air Canada CSA who went through it. They're told they're overstaffed, and X number of positions are...

Crusty tonight doc? Maybe you need to do your homework. Keystone has crashed twice in the city limits of Winnipeg with chieftains. One killed an elderly American tourist, which I think you are referring to. But they also crashed short of Rwy 36 with a load of pukatawagan passengers on board. Not "c...

Sarah, a quick google search will show you keystones safety record. I can't think of a Manitoba operator who has a worse safety record, yet they live to get mileage out of their implementation of SMS. Sorry about the . @ thing....didn't know that. Now, as for the SMS thing, Keystone came out with t...

She wrote it like that because she doesn't want an Internet bot harvesting her email

Was it or was it not a 'profit share'? wtf?

Nark: what do they teach when, in icing conditions, you change the configuration and then something adverse occurs? They teach to go back to the previous configuration! I'd bet $100 bucks that's what the FO was thinking, since both pilots seemed to be preoccupied with 'icing conditions' during the a...

I had no idea it was coming in so imagine my reaction when I noticed it turning final over Airdrie! My wife was like, 'what's the big deal?', So I informed her she was 'cut off' for the next 2 weeks while she learned a thing or two.... My kids thought it was cool though!

"back in the day" I had come across a choice of flying the 337 flying fire patrol, or the Beaver on floats doing fishing charters. After much humming and hawing and figuring the best course of action I chose the Beaver, and haven't regretted the decision since... my next job off the Beaver was capta...

What KAG said. There's more of us rooting for you guys/gals than you think.

Was there ever a profit share early in the operation? Like after the end of the first or second year?

I've never heard of anyone ever dying from following an RA... however there are enough examples of people dying because they did NOT follow the RA. I know what I would have done.

DaveP I have a question that relates to this topic. I assume that the mainline never hired any pilots directly off the Caravan or the PC12 or the like(SE-Turbine)... in your opinion do you think the regional might hire those guys at least into the right seat of whatever the regional is going to be o...

There are 3 approved techniques in the Boeing manual. I don't give a damn 'who' prefers 'what'. Land the damn plane safely and keep the damn plane airworthy. The rest is fluff.

*sigh*

Are you telling me that not all companies out there wouldn't do the same for a guy who's wife just went into labour? I'll add my Wesjet story. I was on a Halifax layover and my pregnant wife(with #2; #1 was a preemie) phones me to tell me she's not feeling well, and it going to the hospital to get c...

I LOVE how Dean Martin loses his sh1t on that video! lol

Man, the memories. My trip was yyc-prince rupert-whitehorse-yellowknife, where I found out I had an interview for a job in Regina... in 2 days! Lots of fun! Take a ton of pics and pull over when you see something interesting!

Not sure who you're referring to?
