After the unfortunate death this week of MLA Manmeet Bhullar, the local news was interviewing some other MLAs about how much they are now travelling by road. It would appear that many are doing a ton of driving now that there are no aircraft to use...one had driven over 2700 kilometers in the last m...

So either Ft Chip should have cost $5424.00 or Toronto should have been $48458.00.
Interesting math.

So did the Alta big cheese take Greyhound to get to Regina...the local news said he was in town for a meeting?

Does anyone know what the current Contrail requirements are for jet crew?
Do any of the oil companies have their own stricter requirements?

Just waiting for a tell-all book to be released by one of the 27 union members who were laid off!!

The new-improved Premier should get this guy to go to Alberta and get to the bottom of things: The Conspiracy Deepens Jesse Ventura investigates a secret government air transportation and time travel program, an operational death ray, and underground bunkers of an ancient race of half human/half rep...

It is hard to imagine that a bunch of politicians know much about the Private Operator program. Transport Canada is so short on manpower that the Wildrose Party will probably be in power before this gets looked into.

This quote is from the Globe and Mail a few weeks ago . "One of ACE Aviation Holding Inc.'s options for unwinding itself as a holding company could be finding a buyer for Air Canada, says RBC Dominion Securities Inc. analyst Nick Morton. ''One logical, if controversial, outcome could be a merger of ...

As a Canadian the fingerprinting process can be a pain in the butt.The only authorized fingerprint collector in Canada as of this last April was in at Dorval.The other option is to cross the border to a US Sheriffs station to get them done there. Depending on your status it can take as long as 30 da...

If they put all the children in checked baggage(or cargo) then there would be plenty of room for dogs in the passenger cabin.

Just looking for clarification on a topic that seems to cause confusion for some people. If you are departing an airport where there are noise abatement procedures in effect ( CYYC rwy 16-- no right turns below 4300) and tower asks you for a right turn after takeoff before switching to departure do ...

The Government probably has a stack of resumes a mile high already. I also don't imagine there will be any shortage of applicants with well over the minimums stated in the ad so low timers shouldn't get too excited.

You could probably talk Collect Corp into payment arrangements if you tell them you are a pilot!

WWV is a real nice bird. The guys in Nestor Falls did a lot of work on it when it first arrived. It doesn't look anything like what it did when it left YZF.

Far be it from me to stir the pot, but you ramp biatches up there in Fort Mac are being grossly under paid. Another fuelling outfit in Edmonton is paying $14.50 to start and you don't even need to be a pilot. I'm sure the $11.50 you poor bastards start at goes a real long way in an overpriced shitho...

I heard from a reliable source that a charter operator from CYXD had a mishap with a Navajo on a forestry strip near Valleyview yesterday. The news has been quiet on this subject--can anyone confirm or deny.

Hopefully this kind of scam will become more common all across the country.

If terrorists only had an AFM to rely on then we probably wouldn't need to worry about them even having enough skill to hit their target.

Why is the "Medevac" topic such a popular one? I guess most of us just need something to complain about. I have been flying medevacs AND charters for few years now and don't get what all the pissing and moaning is about. More often than not, being filed as a Medevac does not really give you much of ...

If you have no luck here then try listing them on Ebay. You should have no problem selling them there.

How is his paying for extra time on a float plane any different from your paying for your instructor rating? Its no different. If anything your float experience is probably worth a lot more in the real world than Class 4 instructing ever will be. Do the guys who buy PPC's actually get ahead of the ...

I was told that when the african american receptionist at Flight Safety answered the phone and was told that "Slave Air" was on the phone, she hung up. Just what I heard.

Wow, that story sure gets around. This time the receptionist is a person of colour--nice touch.

Maybe you guys who live in bigger cities can help me out here.I was just driving home from a hockey game in Edmonton and had the pleasure of having a scruffy looking creep come up and start trying to squeegie my windshield at a red light. Are you expected to stop him if you don't want to pay? Is the...

My guess would be that they have needed more than one new hire in recent times due to pilot turnover and corporate expansion. If Magellan is right, the FO pay is better than what many other similar outfits offer. Not too long ago there was an operator who shall remain nameless in Alberta who paid Ca...
