I hear Q400 guys all the time revising their TAS with ATC, so I'm wondering if how much they are throttling back, and why?
I'm thinking it's overpowered to compete with the jets and just not economical to use the power so company mandates economy power settings....anyone with answers??

We keep our Aircraft over at a FBO.....we taxi to the gate, and then have to get out of the plane...go through security and the right back to the plane to operate the "Secure flight"....we leave all of our guns, knives, and dangerous stuff on the plane so they don't find it in our bags as we go thro...

If all the pressures and temperatures are within limits, don't shut it down. Run it at idle if you have to and bring it around....

OOhhh don't worry boys, FIRSTAIR is still skimming 10% off each of those loads that they don't have to do anything for. It's all about the licence to do the work in Canada.

"3 Subpart 2 of Part VII of Schedule II to Subpart 3 of Part I of the Regulations"

Only our TRANSPORT CANADA could come up with this......

Nobody gets a job flying the computer.....get out there, be keen, introduce yourself, be courteous, sell yourself, and call back in a couple of weeks.

To me this seems like a reasonable move by the FAA.
There appears to be an issue with the blades, and for the airlines to be able to do this inspection overnight without a huge expense seems reasonable to me. The optics of another failure would create a serious issue with the traveling public.

Advise..... Don't waste your time working the ramp for this outfit. The reason for this is, most of the work this company does is for companys that require the Bars Standards https://flightsafety.org/bars/bar-standard/ and the pilot flight requirements are far in excess of what a "rampie" would have...

http://i599.photobucket.com/albums/tt80/sstocker31/IMG_0909.jpg I have a very early narrow deck O-320 no suffix, that I would like to convert to 160 HP. Lucky for me, it used the very early spline nuts to bolt the cylinders on, and therefore already has long cylinder studs in place. The long studs a...

I hope these guys get what they deserve.....these assholes showing up with any signs of alcohol give us all a bad name...throw um under the bus!!!

It would be interesting to know if it had the big 100ll stickers that go around the fuel caps as a last warning before getting fueled with the wrong stuff.
With so many incidents like this repeatedly happening, it's amazing anyone flying a piston pounder isn't more diligent with fueling procedures.

For those not in the loop.....who the F is PAG?t

After listening to those FA's drone on about the catfight going on in the back, tylenol is needed....

You guys need to wake up and open your eyes.....everyone up north operates overweight at times.
I have to ask if any of you have ever taken off in your 172 with 20 degrees flap?

After they've had their fill of filming stupid coffee and gift shops....send them for a real ride, put them in the back of westjet 737 and have the Skipper taxi at normal speed down the centerline of the taxiway.....they'll be bouncing off the seats! They have to be some of the worst taxiways in Can...

Pilot whores....thats the reason

Personally, I like to see Joe run around with the 3 & c46, and I wish he would use the DC4 again.....I love watching the old piston pounders go, they still get the job done.

Put that in your pipe and smoke it guys....

Let me say first that I have no experience in the RJ85/146...only 737 here, your trying to make a nice landing out of it when you should of planted the sucker and got the spoilers out to do what they are supposed to do....

Nothing if you negotiate it into the price.

We're still here, getting paid to sit on reserve for the time being. Surely won't last long though.....

The oil patch is like a 125 car coal train speeding down the track at 100km/hr..... when it runs out of gas it takes awhile to slow down.....next winter could be ugly if oil prices stay where they are......my thoughts

Here is a link that relates to the problem you had. It's a bit of a read but well worth it in the end, It will help you understand why this happens.

I think we should all just stay on the ground and drink coffee.....much safer that way.

They should also sue them for hull damage from having to taxi on bravo taxiway.....that thing is like the whoop section on a motocross track.

In my opinion....nothing but good will come out of this for the two companys. There will be employees that suffer along the way from both companys, but the end result will be a much stronger, more diversified and capable organization that can meet the needs of any northern customer. This should have...
