Very little if any at all Cat but then BP should have included them in the list then right. People who gouge, cheat and prey on the emotions are all in the same boat. I would have to say it is my opinion that most TV preachers are at best scam artists. A few are honest and squeaky clean.

Ok, now why don't you list all the aircraft owned by scumbags, drug dealers, pimps and people who have made their fortunes by stepping on others. After all fair is fair right. I would vernture to guess the list is much much longer.

The NHL lost 50% of their viewership when they decided to wait 6 days to start the final. Momentum is everything and for some reason year after year they can't figure that out. Go away, I'm no longer interested in hockey in June. I'd sooner watch overpaid overweight ballplayers on steriods.

I haven't had alot of exposure to glass and my question is, what will glass do to turn arround times. I have had as little as 3 minutes on the ground from landing to t/o and yes I shut down both. In watching glass a/c start and taxi it seems alot of time is needed to initialize glass. But now I real...

Oh but didn't you here the news reporters say they still sounded groggy. I agree with you swede. What a donkey show, groggy my arse, maybe scared out of their mind but not groggy. Was a good story though.

It still appears from the comments here that some people view this as an emergency decent situation. It is not. That is clearly defined in the POH. To depressurize is required, to a lower diff, to dump cabin NO. To put on o2 masks maybe prudent but not required. What a bungled mess. Why do people ma...

I didn't say anything about wiping us out. What I did say was if the oil companies get squemish you can kiss half of the aviation jobs out there goodbye. I saw it happen once before. Does anyone want a 400 thou dollar house?

If the oil industry gets hit with a lack of confidence in it's future and stability I would venture to say that 1/2 of the aviation jobs in western canada would be gone. zip, finished. All those cushy corporate jobs, toast. Oil is what is driving the economy and directly related to hundreds of pilot...

Hey niss, I just reread my post and I never said anything about Christianity having clean hands.

Isn't it amazing that those of us who celebrate Christmas for it true meaning for the most part chose to remain silent and let the world dictate how it's done. Christmas trees, lights, extensive gift giving, santa claus, elves, office christmas parties have nothing to do with the meaning of Christma...

If my memory serves me correctly in reverse the maximum N1 you can get on the otter is 86 %. Thus the gov is always sensing an underspeed and positioning the pilot valve (prop gov) in the open position. This leaves control of blade angle at the discretion of the pilot at all times while in beta and ...

I think it may also be the fact that if they showed Vancouver and pheonix at 9pm (6 Vancouver time) in To who would watch. Just like us watching TO and Buf at 3 in the afternoon. I know I dont. They just happen to have several million more people in that neck of the woods that we do here. Just life.
