cause the Canadian Military knows more about twin otters then Borek, right AuxBatOn? The military can accept some risks that a civilian operators wouldn’t be allowed or wouldn’t want to accept to accomplish a task. Our risk management processes from an airworthiness point of view are very different...

Wasn't meaning it as a shot. I have a hard time believing both crew would be willing to fly this way. Maybe one was locked out of the cockpit. Or was subdued by the other.

Are they sure the copilot was in the cockpit or alive

Wow all that money and they didn't buy a 737 Max8. Crazy

I have seen pictures of station 60 were the nose is just about ripped off. Borek our Rocky Mountain air could have probably had it patched and ferried in 2 weeks with 3 our 4 guys. by WileyCoyote » Fri Mar 29, 2019 9:51 am From my experience, I think we would be better served by contracting this ser...

Thats your tax $$$ hard at work boys and girls. 25 technicians wow.

Personally I say let them merger. Air Canada (Jazz) tried the Iqaluit route a couple years ago it didn’t last long. Trust me if someone comes in with a cheaper rate the passengers will change just like they did in Yellowknife. Yellowknife had the best of service before Air Canada and West Jet showed...

I don't know any experienced Twin Otter operators that have abandoned our hired a heavy lift helicopter because of a station 60. Usually within 2 weeks its patched up enough to ferry it out. I hate to say it but this is typical Military not having the experience to operate these aircraft.Not saying...

TSB investigation

Typical AV Canada forum. Speculation and off topic postings. I see no value in this topic as it has gone totally off topic. Can you explain what you are saying? The topic was about an accident, do you think accidents are topics that should not be discussed? Yes the topic is about an accident. What ...

What exactly do you think you can learn from speculation. You have no idea what direction they were going our what attitude the aircraft was in when it hit the ground. One thing we can all agree on is it hit the ground and killed 2 people. Have to love Arm Chair TSB investigators.

Wasn't this merger announced almost a year ago. Wonder how much longer before the competition bureau decides.

I think the truth is the City took on an environmental nightmare. The cost of reclaiming the land out weighs any value for the land.

What WestJet did is cheap but not surprising. More of this goes on then people realize. In my opinion the airlines should start charging for Carryon and stop charging for checked bags. Maybe we would be able to get thru security in 5 minutes rather then 30. May actually get back to boarding a 737 in...

I know it’s a bit early but if fatigue was the issue here Canada’s in trouble .

It is way to early to speculate. However unless they flew all night i would think fatigue was not an issue considering they went missing at 09:30

They need to do what Trump would do Deny Deny Deny.

It appears Great slave has been sold off. From what i have been told it will be business as normal for Air Tindi and Discovery mining.

About 10 years ago Lester Powell figured in had in excess of 40,000 on the Twotter. He obviously stopped looking but a guesstimate using an average of hours/years out him well over 40k. You won’t find a nicer fella, consider myself lucky to have had the opportunity to sit in the right seat next to ...

Northwest company is making lots of changes. rumour is First Air lost the Eastern Arctic and Buffalo lost the Valley.

Trust me 5T has had their share of bail outs and government forgivable loans. The most recent fiasco would be allowing 5T to separate from all the Debt owed by NTCL. They are all owned by the same company. NTCL fell and 5T walked away. Do you have any idea how much profit was sucked out of 5T to pr...

wonder why 5T doesn't raise a stink over the competition getting federal cash instead of them for this type of infrastructure ? Dont think you are asking the right questions. Perhaps the question should be, why didnt 5T apply for the same grant program? It was a public infratructure bid put out acr...

I can say i travel a lot. I have only seen a Air Canada uniform in the lounges a few times. When they were there they said little to nothing. I don't want to turn this into a pi$$ing contest. However i will say this. Childish conversations along with sickening acronyms for SWOOP were all by West Jet...
