In the Westjet forum someone was spreading rumours. You canread the rumours and make up your opinion. Someone "heard" that a crew flew above the service ceiling @ FL430.

I did see a job advertised for the 350 a while back.

The articel also mentions that it crashed in a cornfield. Some pretty nice looking shrubs and the burnt pole in the foreground also looks a bit out of place for a cornfield. Most people won't know this difference between one destroyed transport plan and another, but I hope they can tell what a cornf...

Can someone show me where it says you can't fly a float plane at night....I realise that you can't (legally) land at night except at a few lighted water aerodromes in the states.

Aren't flying and landing two separate things.

They could run the site from a far and distant land and canada can't do anything about that. Then again maybe the government just can't be bothered to enforce it as everyone talks about the emergency they heard on the radio today.

I'm not about to look it up but I'll give you my interpretation of it. It is "illegal" to talk about what you heard on the radio. The people with these websites are only listening to the radio so they might not even have a Radio Operators Certificate and then broadcasting it on the internet. Now the...

Also when an aircraft is up nice and high you will hear that call on '26.7 very very far away.

How 'bout "G Unit"

Everything worked out, and nobody was hurt which is the main thing. Im only poking into it deeper to see what other people would do in the same hot seat. It's really easy to look at things now.....and say well they should done this or that. Or I would have done this instead...and they call themselv...

Just to clarify I'm not proposing a purely race based solution, but a different approach to immigration period. White and British or Black and African shouldn't make a difference. Unlike the Nazi's this would promote a more ethnically diverse population across the WHOLE country. Telling someone wher...

To get citizenship you have to live in Canada for a minimum of 3 years. I have no problem with landed immigrants becoming canadian citizens as R2000/1830 mentioned our relatives (or us) became citizens at one point in time or another. Some landed immigrants choose to never become citizens (maybe it ...

I'll use Winnipeg as an example. IF we have a problem with North African gangs, composed of the 12-30 age bracket the we give mroe "points" or whatever to a North Africans willing to live somewhere else. If more North African teenagers move to the 'peg, there is a good chance they will associate wit...

Its a free country, you cant force people to live where you want them to.. I mean, apart from natives.... But we can tell people what skills they need to be able to move to Canada? I don't see how saying we need immigrants in this municipality or city been is any different. Maybe just give them bet...

I started a new thread on Canadian Immigration Policies.

The filling suit against Avcanada thread has been hijacked a bit towards immigration policies and crime. I thought it would be an interesting, possibly heated discussion and deserved it's own thread. This might sound a bit politically incorrect but Canada should really examine it's immigration polic...

It is also a great excuse to get away from an ugly girlfirend that you haven't had the guts to dump.

I thought you went to the bush to find the ugly girlfriend.

Cirrus' look great and have good performance, but my biggest concern is the fact that they are not spin tested. I understand not certifying the aircraft for spins, but to not flight test it. Each year many people in GA die in slow flight leading to a stall then spin near the ground. The chute is use...

Maybe Joe (Avcanada) needs to set up a company to "own" avcanada in some foreign country with really loose laws (Paul Martin style) about that sort libel / slander / defamation or whatever you want to call it etc.

Or you can just PM everyone that posts anything on here. Nobody else can read (that I know of) the Private Messages. So PM a few and I'm sure word will get around.

I wonder what the FO has why they are not upgrading him.

They got business of the year in Fort Mcmurray. http://www.fortmcmurraychamber.ca/05%20Bus%20Awards%20This%20Year's%20Nominees.htm (you can't click on the link because the script doesn't appear to recognize that the web address continues beyond the apostrophe) Looks like nobody else was nominated so...

I took a look at the ADGAS site. Lots of job postings here , but nothing for flight crew. I searched the site for pilot and only got 3 items. None of them appeared to relate to the operation of aircraft. Aircrew, and aircraft didn't get any results. How did they want you to contact them? I'd be care...

Try 54 million.....That's what it ended up been and a ticket in Western Canada (excludes BC :( ) won. With 54 million if you threw in a savings account you'd pull in over a million per year at a measly 2%. I'm sure somebody would offer you more. I could adjust to sitting on my ass and pulling in a m...

F*rst Nat*ons Transportat*on

(* = i)

So let's say you are flying off a grass strip in any 30 year old plane. You do the math. Say given the weather etc. you need 2990 feet for a short and soft field take off......you have 3000 feet and water on each side ...river...lake...ocean whatever. Do you think it would be smart and SAFE to takeo...
