News flash Tin Can, WJ set the standard for getting "shoe horned" into a small crowded jet. Particularly with the false marketing on "seat pitch" by making the seat shorter. I'm not sure but Westjet may have added seats. At first they seemed to have similar seating to AirCanada's back end but the s...

That Q-400 needs more paint... It's too White! Needs some teal at the top of the tail and the fin forward of the vertical stab needs to be painted blue. It could use some color on the engine nacells as well. Just my opinion.

At WestJet, you have no union protection and your seniority means nothing. Seniority is very important when layoffs are looming...which is a common occurance in the airline industry. quote] I can't think of a single person being layed off at Westjet Tech Ops in the history of the company's existenc...

This is a funny topic, I heard a Transat employess say recently that if the company could find some cheap Ilyushin aircraft, they would probably go for it! They don't know what the heck they want! Buddy i was a joke... It is call sarcasm Wow, i just added some smilley faces to get the point across ...

wow, odd to hear that from you Tony,

Thanks!

Guess again propjet, Sunwing has purchased 4 more 737-800's at max seating capacity of 189 seats and have just recently recieved the first of the 4 this last week. Passengers will love their 6 cubic inches of personal space as they fly coast to coast on those babies! :roll: They have a summer schedu...

Picture a small aircraft flying above with 2 antenna on it. One on each wing strut or similar area devided by the fuselage. Now each antenna has a signal strenght meter attached and wired into the cabin. While the aircraft is flying and listening to the ELT, a signal strenght will show on each meter...

O.K, that post above is just F'n Funny

Allied Wings is KFC!
see the KFC thread for more info!
Ohh! and have you been to Portage? There's a reason it's so cheap to live there!

YHM KFC!!!, Don't do it! Been there, done that. Great place to learn and get started if you're an apprentice but then you have to get the heck out! Same political B.S. from the "look at me boss, look at me" managers all tryin' to please that prick who runs the base! My suggestion, Try CargoJet! Grea...

If i'm not mistaken, the huds are not going to be used at all! RNP makes them redundant and therefore the newer aircraft are comming with provisions but no huds for resale value if a buyer wants huds for some reason! The existing huds may some time be removed and sold!

Pika,
We have 5 737-800's with 166 seats (normaly can hold 189) this is for the overwater longer flights! less bums, less bags, more gas!

Awesome job by the crew! Here's to you! :drinkers: Just one question if anyone has the answer, I heard that the main wheels were all shredded, did the anti-lock system fail as well? Or was it possibly just a combination of hard braking and high OAT. I can understand the debris on the runway being fr...

Good to hear that #### is no longer the CFI, he was an absolute weiner! But from the sounds of it he's controlling in yyz? That can't be good with his "I know everything and you should all listen to me" attitude! Hopefully someone will put him in his place! Yeah that's right, i said it! you know you...

Ok Swede, i'm with ya on a few subjects here but i think your view of the future is a bit to advanced! Remember that we are building aircraft now that will still be in service 20 years from now, and i don't see any remote controlled airliners out there yet! However, I do see where you're going with ...

Strategy! When you buy a new car and you want a good deal, you may have to walk out on the salesman in hopes that he'll stop you to on your way out only to say " O.K, O.K, let me go speak to my manager!" It's all about calling the bluff! Although Milton is a complete loser, he's not a complete idiot...

Holly S**T Balls!

I guess it was true!

Order cancelled!

I just heard that the ACPA has just rejected the 777 / 787 deal meaning that a/c will not be getting them!!!

Is there any truth to this rumor?

R U kidding me! Ask the Canada's airline complaints commisioner who the best airline in North America is! I don't think it would be Scare Canada! # of complaints against Air Canada = 347 # of complaints against Jetsgo = 148 # of complaints against Westjet = 11 # of complaints against Canjet = 4 I do...

What did Aloha use to fly from from Vancouver to Hawaii?????
Oh. Yeah........a 737-700!

Westjet currently has 90 min etops. and is in an accelerated etops program to soon have 120 mins folled shortly after by the 138 or more etops rating! This will come quicker than you think! And besides, What other destinations would Westjet go through all this for? I think that people at the company...

Question? What's the difference in the flight time from say Montreal to Vancouver, or Halifax to Cancun, or even Toronto to Victoria VS a flight from Vancouver to Hawaii or Halifax to London? We've done the first metioned flights without complaints many times and continue to do so. On a cloudy day i...

about them looking for a new type of a/c for there overseas runs .. so there's your answer if you believe CBC that is .. which ah .. you never know .. :supz: Just for the record, i am a westjetter!!! (there i said it) I don't think we're getting any other type. The 737-700 has the longest range of ...
