Re: Falcon 7X goes offroading.....

I used to park a B1900 at an fbo almost every night. To be honest, I think we left the brakes on all the time, but I’m not 100% sure. The airplane got moved all the time, and the fbo would release them if needed. E190, A320 and B787 brakes always on if parked unless hot. A320 brakes would get releas...

Re: Falcon 7X goes offroading.....

Re: Lockout and AC Jetz?

Air Canada has more than enough 320 pilots in management to cover Jetz flying. That's a lot of management, in my humble opinion. Remember when the agents went on strike?
