Re: Dreamliner Down in India
[/b] And still crickets on FDR and black box recordings. Nothing screams cover up louder than silence. If it was a Boeing issue, the cause, and the appropriate ADs, would be out already. India, Air India and anyone involved will deflect any blame from themselves. Where is this cover up of India’s ex...

Re: CBC coverage- Pilot’s frustrated ATC r
I don't think the argument holds that just because NavCanada is a sole-source provider, that there isn't a desire to provide excellent service. I try my best every single day, and so do the people at my unit. There are lots of organizations inside and outside of aviation where they are the only gam...

Re: Why WestJet?
I should start a thread: “why would anyone choose WJ as a passenger “
Can’t think of a good reason. Never go near them.

No one has to show you proof of anything.
No one owes you a thing here.
You don't get to decide what is valid and what isn't.
Trust that helps.

Here’s their annual report. https://www.navcanada.ca/en/annual-report-2024.pdf Highlights are their “Goose recruitment campaign “ And DEI initiatives on “Unconscious bias training” — among a whole list of others.

Re: CBC coverage- Pilot’s frustrated ATC rant
I'm not sure where you are getting the "government handout" idea from. Directly from the Transport Canada website: "NAV CANADA is a private, not-for-profit, non-share capital corporation, incorporated under the Canada Not-for-profit Corporations Act. The entity is self-financing, receives no suppor...

Re: Dreamliner Down in India
I assume fuel contamination is all but ruled out — other flights departing of course using same fuel source? Absent a catastrophic cockpit decision, doesn't look good, does it. Catastrophic Electrical failure? Would that kill both engines? This guy makes a case for vapour lock - extreme fuel temps. ...

Re: YVR center capacity
I first raised an eyebrow about NavCanada when I flew to Ottawa and was lectured by someone in terminal there about how they had no time to handle GA aircraft because they were always too busy. (crickets on the frequency other than me) Similar story with Winnipeg and Vancouver at other times. Too bu...

Re: Initial Ground Radio Call
Depends where the normal run up area is. On a big ramp, I would taxi away from other parked planes, point my tail away from other aircraft, and do the run up. No call needed unless the ramp is controlled (which I have never encountered). Then call, ready for taxi. On a crowded ramp, there is no room...

Re: Transat got a sweet deal
Before the shutdown order TRZ had zero debt and over $500m in liquid cash. Plus the $18 per share takeover bid from AC. It was the govt's own disproportionately long and detrimental response to Covid that dug this huge hole in the first place. As a note, that $1.5b figure includes lease liabilities...
