Re: When is Air Transat likely to resume flights

My friends were just contacted by Air Transat informing them that their November flight to the UK has been cancelled. Seems a bit far off to be cancelling??

Re: Jump Pilot or Aerial Photo Pilot?

Flying with the door open and people hanging off of the strut, having to know what to do if a pilot chute goes over the tail etc IS NOT quality flying hours?

Re: Toronto man survives skydive plunge after parachute tangles

Probably had a malfunction, fought it too long and AAD fired reserve into main. Unfortunately happens more than you think. Seen people fight line twists until impact. Could be a few other things too though. (All of which can be solved by either proper maintenance of gear, proper procedures or both.

Re: Best Company For New CPL in YYC

Alberta Skydivers. Build pic on a 182, 205, 206. They pay a decent salary and feed you. Great people to work for. Do not confuse with some other operations who don't pay etc. This is a solid outfit.
