The guy accepting the $37,000 is degrading the i...

No kidding. Take Cat Driver for example. Whether you agreed with him at times or not, he is a wealth of information, has cool stories, challenged people's posts and played devil's advocate. It's a shame really.

I wonder do aircraft manufacturers factor in a "luck" component when determining the safe and correct operating procedures and limits? If an aircraft ends up short of a runway, the "aircraft" was flying the pilot, not the pilot flying the aircraft.

Re: Edmonton City Centre Airport

I don't understand why they kicked Quikair out of there for one, and not market the airport to attract more corporations, with air access available on their doorstep. It is quite the advantage over other cities. Getting from YEG to DT is a joke. What a mess of roads.

Alberta doesn't have the population to support two major airports. Calgary is the clear winner. International travel should connect through YYC.
