The Security Tax was nothing more than a money grab by the liberals almost none of it went to actual security.

Im not sure about the facilities in Peele island, but at many small airports there are no scales to acuratley asses the weight of gear/cargo so most of the time its best guess for loading in the bush. And having never flown the Caravan I couldnt comment on the usefull load or performance. But correc...

I always like the "Zipper" call sign it makes me laugh everytime because my old boss would call us a bunch of zipper heads, or the Classic Speedbird for BA. It might have been on here or the YYZ site but i read that Zipper is going to be rollled back into the MapleFlot flag now that AC has a new dea...

Ok Just my two cents here. Are they refering to the old 737-200 that are being phased out or even the new 700's. My way of thinking is if your going to get rid of the old 200 why invest 2 million or so in an aircraft that is worth 2 million. First off there isnt really a market for the old 200 anymo...

Its all about networking Ive gotten all my jobs through knowing people. You may think you have put in your grunt time with 1500 hours but you ...
