Re: Pasco pulling out of YYF?

If true, I am surprised they weren't able to make this route work.
Can't keep a route with empty seats. During the highway closure up there Pasco flew people from penticton to kelowna at a loss to try and rally support within the community.

Re: Info on Vancouver Island Plane crash

Simon is a great guy, this is a huge lose. One of the nicest guys I've had the pleasure of meeting. Pasco was fully within their rights to initiate their own search, but on a 20 minute flight that set out at 7am, authorities should have been notified and a formal search in progress by 08:30 local ti...

Back to your question, does it have to be a degree or can it be a diploma? In the lower mainland there is BCIT, which has a...

Re: Airbus & Honeywell Working on Biofuel to replace Jet A

pah! I'm willing to bet $50 and my left nut that in 50 years planes are still flying on oil.

Fuel from food makes as much sense as shooting your self in the foot. Someday a real sustainable option will come along, until then we'll be burning dino's.

Re: headsets

There is a lot of information on headsets if you use the search function. That being said I used my DC 13.4 for 5 years and never had an issue. They're still perfect and work great. I now have a set of bose X, super great, the anr is unreal. When I first started using them I thought something was wr...

Re: Boundary Bay & flight training???

Sunny summer days at czbb are busy. You get used to it. Once in a while you might have to do a couple circles outside of the zone before they let you in, because of congestion, this is often just a few minutes and is rare. We have 3 practice areas. Pitt, Glenn, Cherry Point. Cherry point is about 10...

Re: CPL Questions

My experience with students is that it is best to do the written first. You would be amazed how many people do the flight test and then take over a year to do the written, which means they have to do the flight test again! Not only is that a waste of money, it's stressful. If you're in a bind then j...

Halifax

I'm trying to move to the east coast. Is it possible, or likely, to get a Halifax base? Or would you have to take any base for a couple years then get a Halifax base. I really have no clue about jazz but I have about 1000hrs 705ops and 2000TT.
