Re: Ooops, Jet Blue A320 lands with parking brake set . . .

No idea how it could be accidentally set in flight - but setting the parking brake will generate an indication on the memo section of the Engine/Warning Display. It will also be indicated on the Wheel page which is displayed when the landing gear is lowered for landing. It's not part of the landing...

Re: looking for flight bag

Like KAG said, the Scott Leather bag is great. Rather buying it from the website however (where everyone gets the 'Airline Discount') buy it from Aircraft Spruce. There is a Aircraft Spruce on Dixie in YYZ, and somewhere in YVR....elsewhere as well I'm sure. By buying the bag through them, they will...

HAHA! That was sk_pile_it? I was hired at WW to fly these unprofessionally painted airplanes, and when sk_pile_it posted this reply it made management laugh. In fact, what he wrote was copied and put up on a couple bulletin boards around the hangar to make people laugh. Glad to see you love the mana...

Anyway, it was a pretty minor event. I mean its not like he went screaming off the end of a runway like another airline I know.

Re: Porter Airlines New Summer Destination

I agree with you too Tony; With speed aside and following the whole 'Safety, comfort, sched' motto, I would far rather have the extra 14,000 feet + to climb than to arrive at destination 5 minutes earlier.... They probably could, however, beat us to 25,000. Those little hats the fa's have too are un...

Re: Odd things you find when moving

While moving from YXE out to Toronto, my mover presented me with a box that looked unfamiliar. Once he was away I took a quick look inside only to find a brand new 19" flatscreen tv / computer monitor. Very nice gift from a very nice moving company. I probably lost something in the move, but still c...

Re: Glider Time

I have counted glider through all my resumes and it has been represented through all levels of flying from turbo prop to now airlines.

Insurance usually seperates flight time between fixed wing and rotary. Glider time teaches many transferrable skills, so count it.

You know what app? Now that you mention that soap ad, i seem to remember a photo shoot in that Prince Albert park near the airport 2 summers ago.

Not a bad deal for him.... Fly an all nice airplane a couple days a week and do some modeling on the side. Perhaps the new face of Transwest Air.

I feel bad for the poor guy sitting right seat. They did a good job of the situation, and when trying to exit in a calm fashion bails. Nothing like doing a good job on the hard end of things, then bailing on national tv doing the easy things.

I'd be embarrassed at least
