Re: Fort Mac Relief
I'm with Co-Joe on this one. The Red Cross won't be able to do much. Our money is better spent on community organizations in Fort Mac that will be needed for the rebuilding. Like Big Bros/Big Sis'es, YMCA, Lion's club, etc. Doesn't have the same "pzazz", but at least the money won't go towards opera...

Re: Westjet cover up: Alleged sexual assaults by pilot

Howcome the pilot can't go to Hawaii, which is a US state, but no mention of him being kept away from all US flights altogether... One would think that he is want...

Re: Whither the economy?
Remember folks, if you're your own boss, you can't get fired or laid off! Sure you can: your customer(s) can fire you. It's just called going out of business, or going bankrupt. Or both. That's all dependent on your business, but yes, the only one who you can blame is yourself. Which is why I prefe...

I didn't bother reading the 8 pages - lol - of debate, but let's get a few facts straight. I am climate-change neutral, btw. The absolute worst prediction of sea level rise between now at 2050 is 5cm. So no water up to the armpits, like many would like us to believe. In the 1970's, main stream media...

Re: New Leaf (ULCC) starts February 12
I see promise but with bad timing. Promise, in the sense that many of you are discounting using an ACMI agreement for the lift. Well, I know of one airline in Canada that did that in the early years, and that airline is now successfully running as Sunwing. Permanently using Flair would be a bad idea...

Re: Layman starts an airline. The big project
Regarding pt 1 and your fuel cost calculations... Airlines do fuel hedging. The $7.30/gal that you quoted from flightaware in ORD is the retail price for visiting private aircraft. Major airlines have a much lower cost because they purchase in bulk, and thus get a bulk price. (My guess is about 50% ...

Good luck getting off oil. Oil has entered a downturn because of supply glut and will stay low for a long time. So the world will burn it. Because of that, living conditions in the ME will go lower, and extremism will actually rise - "angry poor people looking for someone to blame". Kinda like Oct ...

I would shy away personally from holding Assad fully responsible for this. Yes, governmental forces provided the spark when the schoolchildren were arrested, and then they shot at the protesters, no doubt there. But when it comes to your last question... We know what Assad will do to stay in power. ...

Re: How to offer in flight wifi on 703 planes
I remember my ADF needles going haywire whenever one of the pilots had forgotten to put their cell on flight mode, and received texts and notifications. Not sure you want that to happen in the north on final on an NDB app to minimums. That's probably going to be a pretty big hurdle right there.
