Re: Behchoko Crash NWT??

Anyone else listen to the ATC tape? He declared a mayday stating he was having control issues. Never heard anything about an engine failure.

Re: What's happening to the 'buses

I can't tell if you are 4 serious or not?

Some 319's are at Rouge, 737's are on order for Mainline. Those are the only concrete facts out there. Everything else you hear is a rumour.

Re: Engine preheat idea

In any really cold weather, those heaters can't heat squat. In the elements, it would be a fire hazard (If you look at the manual for most of those heaters, they say not to use below -10 (Or was it -20?). Good idea, if you found a proper heater.

Re: Living in hotel rooms

Not exactly sure on the hunting season's. But if you have time, maybe pick up a firearms license. 7F brings in tons of hunters for the Caribou season up there but it may be closer to the fall. I bet you can't find a better time killer then that! Might have to make some friends to get around though!

Re: Study shows career as a pilot becoming less attractive

Being a young guy, who had a few hard years of work and sacrifice. A few close calls, and some sleepless nights. I look back to where I am now, what i've seen, the financial investments i've banked(Despite mediocre pay). There isn't a chance in hell i'd rather be doing anything else. Maybe it was ju...

Re: Air Canada Rouge Uniforms

I laugh at these comments. Boys and girls, get outta the North, and or away from the kids soccer games and walk around a hip area of town. It will all make sense. Although i'm not a fan of the lack of any form fitting female uniform that the young and dumb new F/A's will be wearing (I say this becau...

Re: First Year Air Canada Pay

First Year T4, half on the new pay, half on the old pay was $46000 as EMB F/O. A class members flying as an RP was just shy of $50000. Tack on $5-8000 in per diems, and that is what you can expect.

Re: Equipment Bid

Ego is the biggest reason. Hands on flying if you haven't done enough already. I moved from an F/O position with the company backwards to an RP position. I miss the flying, but I have way too many hobbies to fly and enjoy them all. Sorry, lifestyle over ego wins this race. That is until I get a fami...

It will be a sad day when the last one leaves Sproat. I grew up watching those aircraft from across the lake. You can't blame the owner, they have barely been used.

Re: Air Canada Interviews

Your theory is flawed. Those 25 year olds have been doing NPA, circling into thunderstorms and blizzards for their entire commercial career. While the experienced high paid captains have been slowly getting more and more complacent going from ILS to RNAV with a full accurate set of PAPI's. But I do...

Re: Resolute First Air plane crash lawsuits filed in Iqaluit

Very glad to see this happening. I don't care who wins, but I was also afraid the military impact would not see the light of day. It was a gong show up there for a week prior, due to this so called "controlled airspace". Did it cause an accident, no. Contributing factor, it's possible.
