Re: WestJet announces Whitehorse

So again, I have to ask: What's the problem? 8) Ya, three times. My original question was, are you guys still allowed to post?

Re: WestJet announces Whitehorse

Interestingly enough, even though Air North " Chose not to optimize their assets to generate best returns for their shareholders", they remained profitable in 2012. For a small company in a market of reckless overcapacity, that speaks volumes to the local support. 8)

Re: Another classic pilot;mechanic exchange

I'd say its a little early to hang these guys. You want those switches off before extending the manual trim wheel handle. The electric trim doesn't care if your hand or knee is in the way. If they departed with both trim switches off and didn't figure it out, then ya, they screwed up.

Re: Aircraft Evacuation....

Exiting the runway onto a narrow taxiway is going to restrict Safety Vehicles ability to access the aircraft for fire fighting. A good example would be PWA's 737 in Calgary in March of 1984. There were snow banks to contend with in that accident which made the situation worse. But, the result was a ...
