Re: WestJet and Sunwing ground collision - YYZ
After seeing the video of a burning APU in contact with the right wing (read right fuel tank) I join the crowd of "nice job guys" What did or did not happen in the cabin is of concern and will be the subject of debrief and investigation. Should they have evacuated? YES

Telex Airman 750 for sale
Bought in 2012 and only used a few times. Went to an earpiece right after. Have original receipt for 283.00 taxes in. Brand new condition. I'll ship Canada Post anywhere in Canada as part of the purchase price. Make me a reasonable offer, just want it gone.

WTB Bose A20 ANR Dual Plug
Anybody out there have one of these collecting dust? I've tried one and I liked it but not sure if I'm completely sold on it yet so would like to buy a used one.

Re: No-incident/accident certificate
The document they are looking for is not the licence verification letter. TC supplies that one as you have found out but you have to request the letter the Asian company is looking for from the TSB...for the Western Region contact Jonathan Lee at jonathan.lee@tsb.bst.gc.ca.

Re: Inspiring Flight
I'm guessing my mystery pilot is someone somewhat high up. So my question is, which upper management personnel in the mid-late 90s flew the line as well? The most likely two would be, Don Bell, he was our guru of culture, and Tim Morgan who would have been either the Director of Flight operations o...

Then how come he asked to see my License. I have travelled enough to know that Pilot's don't ask you for your license to get on board the aircraft. This is something that I have never ran into before and caused me to think exactly what he said. He did in fact say that if I had my license with me (p...

A man who is pushed out, generally doesn't hang around the company for a few months to help the guy who just got his job. This suggests it was Sean's choice not the other way around.

Re: Enerjet
Moot point, the passes were promised to the original group WHENEVER they left and it had nothing to do with resigning or retiring, it was a promise made, a fairly large promise I might add, and a promise broken.

The fact of "they're a great bunch of people" as posted above, is not a business plan. There are a lot of nice people in aviation, but only those companies with a positive cash flow will survive.
