Wow. Considering some of the accidents we have had in the past maybe it is a good idea to explain were you are and not blurt out a call as fast as you can so you can sound cool. I agree that some things don't need to be included but in the long run who cares. being overly safe is not a bad thing. be...

I think things will start to change. We cann't keep going on like this and the families are expressing concern of these companies operating unsafe. I hope everyone (pilots, ame's, management, owners) will look at themselves and their companies and start making safer decisions.

Not that I am aware of. There is limited hanger space also because all the hangers are full. I know in the past, if there was a mx proplem they would drive CMA guys down from YYC to fix it, and/or send another aircraft for the flight. So, they may do that for that reason.
