So sorry to hear about this accident. A very experienced bush pilot and Cub driver tragically taken. My thoughts and sympathies are with his family, and best wishes for a full recovery for the injured.

I'm not interested in living over seas myself. And flying a domestic schedule on a 37 in China doesn't leave you much time to visit home. Ever thought about going back to one of those well paying King Air gigs that get you home every night, keep you in one time zone for the most part, flying a much ...

Bobcaygeon, What do you do for a living? Seriously, are you a pilot because you clearly have no clue about airline ops. I guarantee that any given month of 85 credit hours I am on duty for at least 160 hrs, that's credit hours, when the door is closed and park brake off. Unless you're doing long ha...

Any more Timbits and I won't be able to find my guy bits.

For the love of Jebus, not more Timbits! I can't speak for everyone, but im gonna offload the next person who brings those things as a gift for the crew. In all seriousness though, there's no bribery required. Happy to have folks pop to say hello, give a flight deck tour to kids of all ages, and get...

Gregg and team continue to pay lip service culture, whilest behind the scenes they not so quietly or secretively dismantle the frame work that up until about two years ago, made this company such an awesome, desirable place to work. Have you guys been in touch with the WJPA at all? I'd be surprised ...

Listening to this develop on guard last night, I was under the impression that they were on the return flight to Buttonville, lost, and low on fuel. A bit difficult to understand though, as his voice was panicked and English didn't seem to be the pilots native language. Kudos to the AC crew who were...

Glad you enjoyed your flights. An 0645 departure, you may have sampled the crews special double brew. One coffee pouch in the basket, another in the pot. I could be sent for reprogramming for sharing that little secret, so if you request it on a future flight, best to whisper it in your FA's ear.

Been enjoying your photos. Thanks for posting them. There's book out called OCA The Kenora Years. If you haven't had the chance, it's a worthwhile read. Lots of great stories about Rex, Barney, Rollie, Kuby, and many others. I picked up my copy at the Kenora museum, but you can search it online and ...

Turn the clock back five and a half years to when we last negotiated an agreement and you'll see a near mirror image of where we stand today. Or you would if that vote had not been suspended after 27% of the pilot group had cast their ballot. Things got fixed then, and we ended up with a mutually be...

I think you'll find that I pretty much stick to the SOP's.

I don't think the gap is as wide as you think when you look at it from where most people are coming from. Either or will result in a 40-50 plus percent pay cut. Is that fair, and how reflective is it of the experience you bring? This is the one industry where that experience doesn't translate to bet...

JAZZ ? same as encore maybe you should do a little more research before you spout non sense. I had no idea that extra few thousand that Jazz doles out above Encores abysmal salary had sent the pitiful starting and early years compensation of Jazz on a rocket ride up the respectability scale to medi...

You say your friend was here for a walk through and was railroaded into an Encore interview. A walk through is not a formal interview, and an interview is not the same thing as an informal sit down with DaveP or one of the other big wigs during a walk through. Anyone I've taken for a walk through re...

Perry looks so very familiar. He did a part of his apprenticeship at Walsten Air Service, didn't he? If there are plans in the works for a memorial at KBA HQ or any place else in the Calgary area, please post the details on AvCan.

Thanks for posting Bob's bio Sulako. I'm sure when he wrote those words he never imagined they would serve as a beautiful eulogy to a life tragically cut short, but certainly well lived. Bob never would of cut it as an airline pilot. His wander lust was too strong. And he has an impressive collectio...

Prayers to you and your crew that you find your way safely home my friend...

From the desk of S.P. on the 21st at 12:45. Perhaps you deleted it since it shared the same title as two previous Encore memo's?

Look harder! Start in your Webmail.

I don't really see whats that bad, aside from the political BS that going on in the upstairs departments. Don't work there, but looking from the outside, its still got a lot going for it. The government is in to deep to just make this 'go away', it would just cost to much, and wouldn't get their mo...

Yup! Race to the bottom alright. How dare those bastards after 16 years of evolution pay me a great wage, give me a great schedule every month through a democratic bidding process, awesome overtime rules, and six weeks of vacation a year. They ought to be strung up and shot! Lot of fixation on this ...

Latest update shows new hire courses in April, July, August, September, and maybe October. Class size of between 6 and 8. Standby for further. We get a crew planning update from DaveP monthly, sometimes bi-monthly, and the target seems to be in a constant state of motion. Just added two new runs to ...

Was the first time when we announced YZF? I'm looking forward to going to Whitehorse. Made the same claim in another thread in the general forum. CID, I'm not saying I "think" your statement is outlandish. I am saying it is outlandish. You're stating that WJ is intentionally pricing fares at a loss...

This is the second time you've made this outlandish statement. You really should search out the definition of "predatory pricing" before making such a bold claim.

Can't shake this mental image of MJ trying to "bully" Snoopy, and Snoopy hurling a 45 (drum, not an ACP!) in MJ's general area like Drew Brees unloading a long bomb! Great thread. LOL... now THAT brings back memories! :evil: Cheers, Kirsten B. I recall a fall afternoon on the 2nd Street dock shortl...
