Here's another anecdote that has never happened to me flying around NYC, DC, Miami, all of which have a ton of traffic, I found curious....

Good luck to him. I'm personally rooting for his success.

Here's another anecdote that has never happened to me flying around NYC, DC, Miami, all of which have a ton of traffic, I found curious....

I'm sure Toronto is great, but I'm more sure you'll also be told to remain clear if the request interferes with their traffic as well. Not with those words. Typically, inbound, one is simply instructed to descend to an altitude below the class C airspace. On departure if you ask for permission to c...

You are very correct in saying it lowers stress knowing pilot intentions, especially if you are cutting through that narrow slice of Class E and skimming the floor of the Class C. And it’s not just intentions - if you’re talking to the appropriate ATC unit, we can verify your Mode C to ensure it’s ...

Thanks for the response. I've visited terminal to have a better view of their picture, years ago. It is up to pilots to know the airspace, and someone should rap knuckles of those doing dumb stuff. More Frequencies? I don't know how many YVR terminal uses, but it strikes me it's not enough, from my ...

It's all about workload and how more airplanes on your frequency will inevitably take up a controller's time and attention away from their primary role - very similar to airplanes calling up requesting service in Class E airspace. Terminal controllers are all about providing IFR service first and f...

Did Covid finally stop the airlines from splitting up families with children booked together, to force paying that seat fee?

One of the lower class things I've ever heard of regarding that fee. Not all airlines do this but many have in the past, to get extra $$$

From my experience seems terminal is dumping their traffic problems onto towers.

Last time I was there, terminal only said, "no contact, remain clear". No VFR service.

I've heard it's long been that way.

Perhaps it's teminal that needs to be fixed.

What will be your routing from YQT? Just curious as there is a healthy chunk of space you'll be below both radar and radio contact on your way down. Suggest a spot device or at least tell a responsible person your route to back up your filed flight plan. Yes, I have a SPOT Messenger that I will use...

Thanks everyone for the reassuring information. I will be going from Thunder Bay. It will also be the Cross Country for my CPL application, should I ever get to finish that up....(COVID)....;-) The other trips I have done in the past were done outside of my official CPL training and there are diffe...

Just don't mention that you travelled.

I don't lie to people, especially my health care providers I've known a long time.

Don't know your policy.

Have you seen what many airplane seats and tray tables look like, including your carrier?

Are you seriously asking an airline pilot that?

Look closer. Education is key.

That confidence taking a major hit down south today.....

It's bad when average people are stupid. But they're sheeple people. It's expected to some degree. I have much, much higher expectations of our leadership not to be stupid, and to be truthful, and to show leadership. No one made you run for office, either. Once accepting a big chair...act like it.

I know the airlines are hurting, maybe it's time to reset to a higher level of customer service. Airlines are hurting from their own choices, and should suffer the consequences.

A follow-up question: what is the magic number at which a sum of money becomes "obscene" or "filthy"? I guess it's somewhere between 2,000 and 17,000,000?

Profits shouldn't come...at the cost of telling the truth.

That has destroyed confidence in Mom and Pop, and things will come back slower, because of a lack of trust.
