Sounds to me like you'll be happier renting or buying a private plane.

I knew they were getting cramped for hangar space in Winnipeg, but this seems to be an over reaction

Impressive though, wish them all the best!

Are they selling shares in Winnipeg and Abbotsford on the same machine? I believe their Hondajet is based in Winnipeg but advertised in Abbotsford.

Here in Canada we have a Canada Transportation Act and Agency that currently permits airlines to issue a voucher rather than a refund of a ticket where the pandemic has prevented the airline from completing their part of the agreement. ..... On the other hand, airlines facing huge drops in passenge...

You can write it off, or try to get a refund; it’s your call, and I have no care either way. Just don’t expect me to dip into my pocket because you trusted Dodgy McRetailer. You seem to imply that people bought stuff and prepaid at shady retailers. I'd hardly call Air Canada or Amazon a dodgy retai...

Any person who wants to funnel my tax money directly to people rich enough to fly to Barbados instead of to people who have no food can go **** themselves. It's hard to improve on this. Piss off airlines with your entitled attitude. You're not special. Yeah yeah, but you're forgetting that airplane...

The issue is airlines will literally go bankrupt if they give refunds. The majority of cash on hand at some airlines is pre purchased tickets. What should happen: airlines should be given bailouts, and as part of the deal, they must refund anyone who wants a refund. I think this is win-win. The pub...

Yup pretty disgusting. Do credit cards protect you here? After all they are not delivering the promised services.

That is correct, but, it does NOT apply to the folks in the back. What do you mean? Pilots in the back are also exempt. Exactly. It doesn't matter where you sit, it doesn't matter if you are corporate pilot on an airliner or airline pilot in a small private aircraft. If the purpose of the trip is w...

I have always found it worrisome that our aviation regulatory structure puts a limitation on just about everything we may fly in a plane, except the weight of an individual person. I once discussed this with TC, after being a commercial passenger on a Canadian airline, as was told by TC that: "We'r...

About 350 and 50 per diems.

I have a lot respect for the E6B, it is a beautiful piece of equipment. But I've never really used it other than for a few pre flight prep exercises, groundschool and the mandatory flight tests. Once I got the license, I've never used it anymore. And that was in airplanes without a GPS. If you are m...

Ouch

Am I supposed to kill 1 out of 4 pilots I meet?

StandingBy wrote: ↑Tue Sep 15, 2020 7:12 pm By deadheading, do you mean flying the aircraft home empty or airlining home? Flying home empty would definitely be the preferred option.

Both. As long as you are a pilot it seems people just Waltz through without quarantaine requirement.

No quarantine necessary as crew, even when deadheading back. That was the situation a month ago, I don't think it has changed.

I don't think any private plane meets the intent of the exemption, but it seems to be the way it is being applied.

Thanks everyone!

I like it, but let's be real, the Cargo Jet section will be gone in a few weeks. Lol

It's not a free service. We're all products being sold to advertising companies.

Not to mention in 6 months you'll have to delete half of them

Does that mean that service instruction from lycoming is pretty much useless? Or does it count as permission on the engine side of things?
