I deleted some off-topic posts. All three of the helicopter crew have been officially identified. This thread is about the accident, so let's try to keep it on topic. Nothing i posted was off topic offensive or against community guidlines. You personally didnt like my posts and chose to remove them...

There's absolutely nothing suspicious about a family that doesn't want to be confronted by all the garbage the internet will associate with her name in the aftermath of this high profile crash. When your direftly involved in the deaths of 67 people, you dont just get to choose anonymity. Those fami...

There will be no further discussion on this. The internet mods have decided. Screenshot_20250131_124108_Firefox~2.jpg Suspicious.

Suspicious.

One interesting thing im noticing as information is roling out. They have as of yesterday morning identified all flight crew invovled, all crj pilots and cabin crew. And in the blackhawk helicopter they have identified the instructor and the flight engineer, but not identified the third pilot. Ive ...

Would this female pilot with 500 hours have been at the controls of that blackhawk helicopter if not for some DEI hiring policy that is trying to regulate the ratio of men to women pilot's in the military? There were two people in the cockpit of that helicopter, but I get it, much easier to blame t...

And just for frame of refrence time wise. In the Q400, from lift off to 10000 ft, on most daya, that only takes about 3-4 mins. From airports like yyc which are already at 4000ft, it maybe closer to 2 minutes on light flight's My company uses AAL for checklist altitudes - I thought this was fairly ...

Does Porter do 10000' checks or did they also just skip it? In the porter senario the auto/man/diff switch was moved to the manual mode by mtc and forgotten. That switch is a live in position switch never to be moved out of auto unless a chechlist directs us to do so. Because of it always being in ...

10,000 feet is very late to be checking Pressurisation imho. Should be part of an after take-off flow after the flaps are retracted. Just need to see the cabin climbing with a normal rate and see the differential pressure increasing. Like i said, there are three separate checks that are to be done....

Similar to the previous incident but a different switch. Not sure when the bleeds are selected on for the Dash-8. Are they always left in the ON position? C-FHEN, a Westjet Encore DHC Dash 8 Q400 departed Terrace Airport (CYXT), BC, on flight WEN3106, under instrument flight rules to Vancouver Inte...

When weather is in doubt, this is a good lesson and reminder to petition your dispatcher for additional fuel. Or start your diversion early, when your fuel is still above your Minimum diversion fuel. I can only imagine how the flight crew felt looking at their fuel on board and knowing they only hav...

Also, if during the time of these negotiations one of tbe regional players increases wages. Then we will have more ammo to agrue to increase our wages too. What do you mean if others raise wages we can too???? - You should be arguing for that now! The company just pulled the same crap on us....rais...

Congratulations to the entire Encore pilot group for standing up and recognizing your worth! This was a BS deal, I have no skin in this game but it’s clear to see this was a BS deal. Some fancy accounting magic by the company to make it seem like an “industry leading” contract, when in fact it’s no...

Your exactly right, the CSP used to be essentially a 20% raise to be taxed and treated as income. Where as now we will get the 15.5% raise plusb9.1% into the payscale. So a 24.6% raise.. but realistically for those that put the full 20% into the CSP previously will only actually be receiving 4.6% m...

As an outsider you can correct me if I’m wrong but the company match was taxed at the source as income, was it not? So, if the company match was 20,000 eg; you pay the taxes as though you earned it as income, so not a true cash in hand like you stated. It was essentially a 20,000 raise delayed by a...

I get that you're trying to be sincere, and forgive me for being too direct, but it's difficult for me to know where to start. The very basics seem to be missing- to an alarming degree. Sorry if this sounds harsh. But it's not a 15.5% raise, it's a 24.6% raise (look at the payscales). The additiona...

What is wrong with anything there? I'm not arguing or being petty to any of you guys, I'm offering genuine concerns over the loss of the CSP...

What are your year over year returns in the rrsp or equivalent programs? The point of investing is to make money! It's not completed. CSP was a guaranteed way to more then DOUBLE your money. And have cash in hand at year end, I know your money is NOT doubling each year in your rrsp. You guys need t...

We have pilots doing the cash savings plan? (aka the owners to loaners plan). Who in their right mind provides the corp an unsecured loan for close to 0%? I don’t know anyone who does the CSP. The cash savings plan or CSP was the best part of the Westjet savings plan WSP. Anyone not enrolled FULLY ...

Isn't that what the 9% extra raise and the 10% wsp is compensating for? That is what they are saying, and its true that it will absolutely lessen the blow. But make no mistake, a loss of a program that guarantees a up too 120% return on investment year over year. For this program where you will onl...
