Re: Manitoba Govt Air Services to be Privatised

Conservative governments don't like taking opportunities away from corporate businesses.

Also, research where the former conservative premier of Manitoba from 1988-1999 is now. Coincidence?

Re: Wasaya caravan missing

I understand that the caravan was not certified for flight into known icing and we keep mentioning that. I am curious how do you file a VFR flight plan at 5500 feet when to me it looks like a strictly IFR day? No filing necessary if you are on a flight itinerary and in uncontrolled airspace. Nobody...

Re: Wasaya caravan missing

From section 1.6.4 from the Report "Icing Certification", the only systems that the crashed aircraft lacked was the cargo pod nose-cap, main landing‑gear leg de‑icing boots, and the a low-airspeed awareness system (somehow different than the stall warning?). How much difference would these systems ...

Re: Wasaya caravan missing

I by no means am sticking up for Wasaya but I really feel that it wasn't just a company norm, it was a industry norm at the time (and still might be, I haven't been up there in a few years). Are you telling me that North star's caravans and superiors aren't flying if there is foretasted icing in th...

Re: Wasaya caravan missing

I agree that it took too long for the report to come out. At least this message came out before the new icing season! What I found deplorable though is that Wasaya was dispatching Caravans in that kind of weather in the first place!!! With experience levels the way they are, companies need to provid...

Re: PAG loses grandfather clause for 704 ops

If this happens (or after 2010), the Metro III's remain unchanged as they already comply with accelerate and stop distances. The Metro II's seats will just be reduced to 9 and they will operate as 703. Northbound legs will still be full (top off with cargo) and they can still make money with them. ...

okay, she might (operative word) be good looking, but what captain would let a co-pilot land or continue the approach for that matter, when it doesn't look good. In my opinion, the captain let that go way too far and should be reprimanded.

commercial air service is " any use of aircraft for hire or reward
What if the pilot isn't getting paid, but doing it as a favour. There is no hire there and no reward for the pilot?

Tired, I agree with your post if the company was selling the pictures. This company wouldn't be selling them and I wouldn't be getting paid (except for cost of rental of A/C, not a penny more). They would be giving them out free of charge. That's the dilemma (in my mind). This company is not a photo...
