Re: 5 pilots on 737 laid off

Could be as simple as down turn in people traveling to the USA. Both West jet and Air Canada are slashing routes right now due to Canadians rebelling.

Re: Air Tindi

Hi there, I'm about a month away from wrapping up my Multi and group 1 IFR and just had Air Tindi stop by the school last night for a presentation. Basically gave us the run down of what it's like living and flying in Yellowknife and north. They mentioned that they have a "Part-Time First Officer" ...

Re: Canadian North Sold to EIC

Maybe Air Canada and West Jet will step in and offer cheap fares like they did in YZF. Once they eliminate the local airlines they will increase the rates to higher than Canadian north. Then everyone can get jerked around just like the YZF route with both majors. From what i am told they continually...

Re: Northwestern Air Lease ending scheduled flights

The comment was probably like every small carrier. Sick of being a training school for the Larger airlines.

Regardless Harolds are good people and i am sure the accident last year is eating them up. No matter who was at fault.

Sad to see another Ma and Pop shop fold up.

Re: Metro 3 ( dangerous as they say it is )

I mean to say that they lack experience. What does a typical Metro FO have today? 250 hours? Not even enough PIC to get PICUS. What does a typical Metro captain have? 1500 hours? Maybe less if it's run 703 or cargo? So an FO that doesn't know what he doesn't know and is mostly along for the ride; an...

Re: Metro 3 ( dangerous as they say it is )

I spoke with a young guy years back that was an RCAF pilot. He left the military and went to the commercial side. He said there is one thing that compares the Metro to a fighter jet. You CANNOT let the plane get ahead of you it will kill you. The beauty of the F18 is you can eject. You have to ride ...

Maybe they didn't use Mayday because they didn't see the situation as being life threatening. The recording i heard was the pilot stating they depressurized. What does Mayday stand for?
