The carbon tax in BC has also resulted in the lowest income taxes for 90% of us. You have to make well into six figures to pay what Albertans pay in income tax. If you buy smart and change your lifestyle you can get out of paying a lot of PST and carbon tax. We also have a balanced budget. Compare ...

The company Trudeau uses for carbon offsets is Less Emissions. They even advise on their website that carbon offsets are a dubious way to help the planet, you should make an effort to reduce the fuel you burn first and foremost. And Less Emissions was founded by a good friend of Gerald Butts, Trudea...

curious, which of the later more fuel efficient variants available are a combi with a gravel kit ?

Which gravel strips has Trudeau been going into?

Environmental impact of aviation? There is a federal election happening right now, and most leaders are criss-crossing the country in relatively modern aircraft. Except for the guy who preaches most about "doing better". He's flying around in a 737-800 for himself, and a 737-200 for his costumes. Bu...

PPL students are blank slates. Their only frame of reference is their instructor. Instructors set an example on every flight good or bad and I think it is something that needs more emphasis by class 1’s and CFI Last week I was number 2 behind a flight school airplane with an instructor and student....

Is aviation really that essential? Does everyone NEED cheap flights to their all-inclusive? Should business people and government folk always fly for face to face meetings, instead of FaceTiming/conference calls? Do northern communities need instant pop and chip resupply flights? I bet 90% of aviati...

The left wing was almost Scheered off.

Oh boy, same crap pay but now based in the most expensive city in Canada.

Where do I sign up??

I landed at a northern mine strip in early spring, and almost landed on the edge lights. At this particular strip, there was a ditch on one side that paralleled the runway and doubled as a road. When the road/ditch and runway were both plowed, if you landed in the center of the gravel, you’d be very...

Cloak is clearly either WJ management, or its propaganda account. Yes because anyone that dares disagree and take an opposite point of view to you is clearly a troll.... :roll: Says the guy who couldn't even stick out his swooper job and had to leave. Don’t worry about tbaylx, he’s AC’s problem now.

If you bring too much liquid, the TSA confiscates it and throws it away, in case it's a bomb. So they throw it away, in case it's a bomb, in the garbage can right next to them. With all the other possible bombs, in the area with the most amount of people. #TSAlogic Like the time they left a pipe bo...

Make sure you tell applicants about the scheduling LOU you just added. Days off awarded on your monthly schedule that were not requested days off, are automatically grey days. Swoop can schedule for anything on grey days, and it's not paid as OT, just straight time. That explains why recent flights ...

Your feelings on the current state of flight instruction have changed? My feelings on the current state of flight instruction has not changed. This accident from what we know baring a sudden medical crisis the pilot flying that airplane was not capable of basic airplane handling skills flying a cer...

This is a merger in name only. The organizational structure and head office location clearly show this to be a takeover.

I've heard from friends that there are lots of 5T pilots running away as fast as they can.

Good luck!

If Viking was based in Quebec, we’d all be seeing the updated Buffalo in this role.

I expect we'll see a resumption of slamming of the RCAF in this thread in roughly T-24 hours.

Hahahahahah. Like the other day when the Twin didn't cancel his IFR 10+ miles out on a severe clear day and made us old short and not take off?

Unable to depart VFR and pick up the clearance later?

Some headsets like the Telex 850 will give you ANR without using batteries.

If a newer 705 company had the same incidents and findings as Buffalo has in the past 10-15 years, do you think they'd still be allowed to operate? Are there different rules for every company? Does TC operate fairly and unilaterally? You have some expertise in this area, no? Side note, when the DHC...

Given that Buffalo has been unable twice now to keep a DC-3 airborne after an engine failure, should they be shut down or is it the DC-3 that needs to be retired? What is your opinion? If a newer 705 company had the same incidents and findings as Buffalo has in the past 10-15 years, do you think th...

So, to treat this as the learning experience so many say come as a result of speculation. I could be wrong about this, but I do not think this is the first time a pilot or crew has departed with insufficient fuel and it has ended badly. I have to ask. How many posters here had to read about this to...

Interesting the knee-jerk reactions to this crash to:

A). Ban the Sukhoi SuperJet.

B). Award medals to the flight crew for heroically landing and initiating the evacuation.

Have you upgraded any of the guys you hired in the last 6-12 months?
