Why do people think LPV won’t go lower than 200’. If I was low on gas with nowhere to go I’d do an LPV over an ILS if I needed to get in.

I’ve always thought it’s weird how YWG has a cat 2 and YEG doesn’t. North of 60 exemptions make sense because it can be 1/4sm in blowing snow and sky clear because it’s all just ground blow, here’s a hint use the octa’s of blowing snow to tell if you’re going to make it in or not before you leave. N...

Of course it’s unsustainable to have a fleet of wide body airplanes and only do domestic flying with a small portion of them... he should try get a refund for needing an economics degree for that conclusion.

Awesome. Are they going to be combi’d with a big door or are they still a bit too new for the north?

Think of it this way. I have a house that I live in and quite enjoy it, it’s value to me is far above market value so even if I were to list my house for sale it would be double what it is worth. Would my house sell? No but that’s ok because I’m not trying to sell it. Now if I need to sell my house ...

How does that payload compare to the the Electra and convair? I’d imagine it’s between the 2? Any idea if they are going to be HUD equipped? Would the advantage of a HUD be outweighed by the fact you are looking around and not just straight forward? The article mentioned a g-loading system, do they ...

I’d be more curious to see how it compares to the same week last year not last week. If you are operating at 5% capacity and your bookings are up 500% that’s still only 25 % of pre covid

Most accidents have the pilot as a contributing factor. Pilots are the weakest link. They fail on a rate at least equal to any other component. Either they fail to respond appropriately to a situation, make decisions that get them in over their head, or deliberately crash. We'll see completely pilo...

There is literally record numbers of boomers retiring with a mortgage but it’s the millennials faults for house prices 🙄. Government policies like CMHC backed mortgages and extremely low interest rates are what is driving up house prices in a lot of places. When rent is continually increasing but in...

I echo the Quebec love being ridiculous in this deal, the competition bureau is supposed to look and analyze if it’s an issue of competition not what province the new company has jobs in. There is a zero percent chance that if air Canada bought WestJet the government would require that WestJet left ...

With mergers (ac and Transat) and possibly a few other Canadian airlines coming out smaller or possibly not at all I doubt the job market in 2023 will not be full of surplus experienced pilots. 2025 will probably be the next time the shortage starts to hit but even still plan on spending time workin...

Also almost zero instructor jobs out there right now as they are being filled with ex instructors to airline pilots back to instructors after being laid off from the airlines.

Isn’t there a scope clause ? How many tails are they limited to?

Just to clarify, you guys think the airline that has been losing money for almost a year and hasn’t spun a prop is going to buy the airline from the investment fund that has been making money through the whole pandemic? A) why would Onex sell at a low price? B) where would porter get the money to bu...

The parent company is weathering the pandemic quite well so I would imagine they would hold off on selling Encore until conditions improve and they could get a lot more cash for it.

Airports like Thompson are as busy as most of these if not more so when it comes to commercial aircraft movements and it functions well. The wildcard is the VFR weekend warriors in some of these places and trying to integrate them into a successful ifr flow.

Does anybody know if there has been any consolidation in the industry in North America? Or in the world ? Most airline companies don't have cash or credit to buy another airline, as most are busy trying to save their companies. However anything is possible with a good loan, available labour, and a ...

I think (may be mistaken) above 410 one pilot has to have O2 on at all times. Would the drop down masks only be approved for 410 in that case as well on those aircraft?

That’s good news, I’m hoping the busy summer overseas materializes for you guys.

I’m starting this by saying I hope everything works out for sunwing. If you are TUI though you are losing billions of dollars so why would you put money into an airline that is also losing money when your core business of resorts is hurting so bad? You can charter lift and still get them into your h...
