I feel compelled to share after reading this thread. My wife 2 weeks to our first child's due date, I was scheduled on a 4 day pairing that would not see me pass through home base once. Due to complications my wife was to be induced on my departure day. After nearly 8 years with the company, I playe...

De-Ice / Ant-Ice is the big issue. Apparently CYBW does not approve even type I I considered it when YYC delays are greater than an hour. Even went there once to drop the passengers off and waited for a YYC departure time with no passengers waiting. The one FBO there had all the cabs waiting and pro...

Does anyone have any information on "Canadian Global Air Ambulance". I understand they have bases in YVR YWG and YYZ. Operate 3 Lear 35/36's. I have tried the forum search feature. I am looking for information on there schedule, i.e. biweekly rotation or not? As well I know of Syservice's dedicated ...

Any Idea what the pay and benifits are like? Does not say in the Globe add.

Sorry, cant really help you with YYZ info I am looking for a good YYC corporate list myself.

MorganAir is getting an 800 soon. Hopkinson is looking for those pilots now. Heard there may be TWO 800's in YYC in the very near future. Don't forget NCA.
