What's a "contact position"?

Pokaroo figured it out........... I have got to start proof reading my posts.......

On top of an already busy morning, there were some issues on Saturday that necessitated the slowdown... Any Staffing problems? Would there be any "Contact positions" coming up?

Who fn cares.............. I have heard 'em all (Giver stories , that is) and still nobody does anything about his shitty flying.

Only thing that I can do is keep me and my loved ones off ANY airplane that he is captain of!

No pun intended on that question though you did an excellent job, keep it up. Nice to see some positive ATC comments for a change. Thanks.

Pure drivel!

NavCan has hired the spin doctors to make the "customer" feel better about more fees.

TC has issued a temporary flight authority to this aircraft. It is scheduled to leave YQT at 0030z Dec. 16.
Destination is MMTJ.
The FAA has given it authority to overfly the USA.
