Re: Why no 126.7 call?
Question...Why doesn't the local traffic listen out on YEG ACC freq's (YMM specific) for the airlines? Wouldn't that make as much sense as us listening out/broadcasting on 126.7?

Great idea to have a Herb plane!! One step further, how about we dedicate one aircraft to each of our founders! I'm finding there are WestJetters who don't know who Tim, Don,Mark or even...yikes...Clive are! I'm serious!!
