I thought there were 2 737NG's coming? Does that do anything for the morale? Are people upbeat about the future or is it going nowhere fast?
What exactly happend in Montreal with Exeltech (The MRO?).
Thanks again for the insight.
Does not sound too good.

The tax rate for corp or Inc is hire. As a one person contrcator using your home as the office you are much better going registered. It cost about 25 bucks to register and 1k and up for a corp or Inc.

What he said but don't bother with the Snap-on stuff. Maybe just the screwdriver. The pressure to buy Snap on to fit in or show eagerness is misplaced.

The newer buses do not have mechnical reversion. They do have a RAT or ADG which will supply a small amount of hydrau.ic pressure. But then again they aslo have 3 hydraulic ystems, Blue,green and yellow. Loss of all hydraulics in a 320/330 or 340 is much more serious than on the 737NG's.

There are options for either GE or RR engines. There is an emergency AD out for the GE engines. Apparently there have been power rollbacks on takeoff when using reduced take-off thrust or generally setting the N1 and temp using the computer. The FAA has ordered that all 777 with GE engines do takeof...

Also the 600 is almost useless on longhaul trips because of the tiny baggage area, normally they will almost bulk out with 100 people onboard. Is this another area of your expertise? You seem so well informed in so many areas. Like you say, it's useless. What would a bunch actual pilots, execs and ...

ERJ145's for the domestic Toronto East stuff, and some EMB195's for the southern routings. 54% break even loads, I don't know why they're leasing a 737-500 for the same cost, and a much higher operational cost. The 54% number is a manufacturer's best case scenario. It is impossible to get such sure...

I'm hoping that's sarcasm. Nice people don't translate into good businessmen.Working for someone and getting paid for it are 2 diffrent things.
