Well that's interesting.

Apparently MO is in on this as well. So three major northern players all codesharing.

Maybe they'll extend that runway and let jets in! How awesome would that be to see the new Bombardier C-Series operating out of Billy Bishop!

There is a precision IAP RW 05 at Halifax RNAV(GNSS) Category Minima LPV, ditto for RWs 23, 14 and 32. Been there over past couple of years. LPV counts as Precision Approach now? That's news to me. Especially since RWY 05 is a Non-Precision Approach Runway according to the Jepps and the AIM. 7.5.2 ...

I know every time I board an Air Canada flight, the pilots are all wearing Sorels and Snow Goose parkas in their seats. The flight attendants never wear pantyhose, that will just melt into their skin and scar them for life. To say nothing of the CFM pumps half them show up in. Illya Well Illya, TC ...

What was the approach ban for RWY 05 in CYHZ?

So I heard that runway 32 was not being maintained at the time of the incident/accident, only rwy 05 was open. The other runway was covered in snow drifts. Runway 05 apparently had a JBI of .35 when AC landed. With winds at 340 gusting to 25, that would be 20 knots of crosswind on 05. Can any pilot ...

AC's twitter eludes to it being an overrun. AC Twitter: Confirms AC624, YYZ-YHZ exited runway upon landing at Halifax. All passengers have deplaned, going to terminal. More updates to come. Exited the runway doesn't mean overrun. Good to know that all passengers got off the aircraft. Here is the en...

Hope everyone is indeed ok. Did the power failure happen before the crash, or did the a/c damage something? The wording of the early reports is unclear on that. If it happened before the crash...how is that possible? I was under the impression that runway lighting and approach navaids were backed u...

Looks like they don't just rely on the Oil Sands for their Charter business.

Doesn't this belong in "General Airline Industry Comments"?

The airline said it would have another plane available to take the passengers to Iqaluit on Tuesday.

First we do not have the same market at all. We need medevacs and we need northern transport. If the only way to make these businesses viable is slave labour, maybe the prices should be changed for this service? So let's say you are good at writing, good at thinking but you hate math you cannot be ...

could this be a pre-merger move? Cancel the under performing flights, put the pax on 5T, and it's win-win for the "new northern airline." Other then the announcement, there has been no further move by the companies involved. To my knowledge nothing has come back from the government about approving ...

after a few years you get to choose what you really want to do and what/where you want to fly. Be a slave for a few years to earn your freedom! Seriously, our industry is messed up when people think this is acceptable. Europe is using mostly cadets programs that cost nothing to pilots, but entitles...

Can I get some background on Skylink, are they the new keystone or something?

They should get working on that parallel 12/30 runway! Here's to YEG trying to be like YYC! Uncoordinated, inability to move aircraft, and 2+ hour flow times? YEG is great when both it's runways are open, and even with one runway ops they still move traffic better then Calgary does. I wish NavCan w...

Everyone in an airline these days is underpayed, except management, who are overpayed. Pilots have it better then almost everyone else in these companies though.

But more than that I am insulted that some easy badge to get is worth more than my ATPL which took YEARS to achieve. I do not feel secure that ANYONE without direct control of the aircraft is exempt from screening. Yes, because if you have direct control of an aircraft, you can't possibly be danger...

Have they dried them out yet?

Pilots are doomed to go through a factory training? Does Boeing negotiate pilots conditions too? This is not free market, this is pilot slavery program. Yeah, because working as a ramp monkey or CSA for near minimum wage for two to four years, then a first officer in a Baron making next to nothing ...

Ref the comments about Perimeter in Aviation, I wouldn't fly with them, ever. And working for them is no guarantee of a flight line position, frankly they give a song and dance to aspirational pilots, then abuse them as employees. Most of these young pilots working as CSAs or Ramphands don't complai...

My personal feeling is that all the security we have at airports is just "Security Theatre." It looks good, but it's just entertainment to sooth our minds, it's not actually effective. Israeli security experts have examined our procedures (and those of the United States) and basically laughed at the...
