The reductions in flying was expected as the completion of phase one of the LNG project in Northern BC was known years ago, ask anyone in the oil patch. They've been looking/bidding on for new work for a long time.

AC's growth plans are being hampered by aircraft delivery delays and market changes. 321 NEO's are late and turning into fleet renewals vs growth. AC just added 4 ex-Virgin America (Alaskan) 320's to replace a tired fleet. The 319's aren't young anymore and even the early 321's are starting to show ...

YTZ is rocket surgery. Land the plane in 60% of it's AFM numbers :rolleyes: . Make sure you fucktheslope and land at the aim point markers. and don't buzz the boats. Way back when I flew with Ex-Austin guys out of YTZ and they were pros at boat buzzing albeit in DC 3's, HS748, DHC's of all types, C...

Are there any operators that mix their flight crews regularly between the Dash 8 classic and Q400? I know almost everyone takes advantage of the common type rating for training but it seems to be very common to crew the aircraft separately for a number of reasons (tail strike) There are a few operat...

"dock hands matter* lol

That's why they get paid the big bucks and jump on the garbage bags of empties like Gollum. "My precious....."

Sort of sounds like carb icing might have been part of the issue but these brief synapses are often lacking info/incorrect so it's hard to judge.

Hopefully there's more to the story and perhaps there was a different crew operating the next start if mtc had not started it after replacing the recirc fan contactor.

These are all EIC companies. PAL is also an EIC company. Stay as far away from them as possible. Might I ask why for those not in the loop? Lol, you gotta hate an owner that will buy airplanes if you can build a business case for it. All Pilot groups made huge strides for their ALPA contracts. Some...

It's pretty clear that AMFA intended to used the long weekend and the busiest week of the year as leverage. Why wouldn't they? There is the risk that public opinion may not lean your way, especially In Ontario and the west where only BC leans left of centre. WJ has made it clear their market focus i...

Bad luck for Pat Sr on the timing with the closing of YZF and then diamonds found the next summer.

GS "At least pretend you know what you are doing" during a training flight. Needless to say, I didn't get cut loose on the "buck'85" that day.

Ask a Bearskin pilot how many pax on are on these flights post Covid. They were thin routes before COVID. YQK, YHD, YAG are hardly northern routes. YQT-YXL is very busy, because of the far north. YQT-YHD was pretty empty 5 year ago when I flew there. Bearskin press release says they average 2 pax pe...

Flew right by pickle, Red, Sioux look out, lac du bonnet too. All still have a gas....

Not growth. Upgrading from 300’s. Looking at the family tree I’d bet $50 on where they end up.

Seriously you should be more concerned with chronic fatigue brought on by unrealistic planning and scheduling and a crappy contract. You should be concerned with pilots skipping meals on layover while dealing with financial stresses being brought on by substandard pay and high costs of living in th...

Weather wasn't even an issue that night. Just a wet runway.

It's pretty clear from the report that NavCanada circled the wagons when they stated there's nothing in the MANOPS or SMS to covers this specific items. ie stunting repeatedly. Read the CADORS for a bit and see how many chicken shit CADORS FSS's submit for mundane crap like maneuvering on an uncontr...

The worst part is there was a marshaller present and they helped back them into the Piper.
The rampie is a pilot wanna be that now is looking for a new job.

This King Air along with C-GPDC and C-GSYC are owned by Pat Campling/Avalerion Corporation and are operated under contract to the RCAF. They're registered to Tindi, but they don't really have anything to do with them. They were previously registered to Transwest until last year under the same arran...

First day of line training for the F/O. The captain had loads of experience on type but unfortunately didn't seem to be performing particularly well. Anyone can miss a checklist item but it is too bad that he didn't check the torques as the power was brought up. Improper blade angles can send a mul...

American said in a filing earlier this month that it expects its second-quarter capacity to be down 20% to 25% from 2019, while United Airlines said it expects its capacity to be down about 46% and Delta forecast a 32% decline versus 2019. Meanwhile, Southwest Airlines forecast its July capacity to...

I just can't see how that thing stayed together... On another note: A Key Lime Air Swearingen SA-226TC Metro II, registration N280KL performing flight KG-970 from Salida,CO to Denver Centennial,CO (USA) with one crew, was on a visual approach to Centennial's runway 17L cleared for the approach and ...

I have it on good authority that that paint is a petroleum product and the perpetrators filled up their Peugot on the way to the airport. Climate terrorists and hypocrites. This is a good read on how the oil and gas industry points out North Face products are use oil and gas products by 70% by weig...
