Re: Flight Schools near Vancouver
SkyQuest Aviation in Langley ran a great program when I was there. It has been a few years, but the CFI knew his stuff and the planes were always kept in good shape.

Re: Westwind
gwagen, Before you go ahead and anoint yourself judge, jury and executioner, maybe we should let the TSB do their investigation. While this was a terrible accident and now a very sad tragedy with the addition of a fatality, let the outcome be determined by professionals. The couch potato peanut gall...

Re: Who owns Vancouver Global C-GHSW operated by SkyService based Millionaire YVR
Skyservice is not the owner. They simply hold the management contract and lease agreement. Common for all management companies.

Re: BC Charters
I know that Anderson Air uses Sovereigns and Falcons now for charter work out of the Landmark FBO. You could try them to see if they can accommodate your needs.

Re: FAA Aviation Medical Examiners
There are quite a few CAME's at Ultima Medical in Richmond. I believe you can get a FAA medical there.

Re: Filing IFR with no alternate
As was mentioned, you can file a no alternate IFR flight plan. However, you need Ops Spec 83 to be approved on your OC. Here is the link to the wording:

Am still waiting for a response, but a friend heard back within 10 days of his in person interview.
Hope this helps.

If you are currently a type 2 diabetic (still holding a valid Cat 1 medical) are you able to pass the Air Canada medical?

You can also check out SkyService, Air Partners (Aircraft Works is the AMO I believe) and AirSprint. All have bases in Calgary.

Have heard that West Wind has bought out Transwest. Any truth to this rumour? Any pilot layoffs as a result of the merger if it has happened?

Re: Suncor flight dept shutting down?
What I have been hearing is that the Suncor flt dept is not shutting down. Suncor appears to be consolidating all of their subcharter work with one company...namely WestJet. All of the smaller carriers they have been using will now be replaced with one carrier.
