Re: Metro 3 ( dangerous as they say it is )

Yes, I remember this one. New captain, she had to ferry a plane back to Thompson due to gear issue. Lost an engine, and could have put gear up but elected not to (following the ferry permit). Allegedly exceeded limitations on the good engine. Lack of SOPs/CRM enroute. She came into YTH, wheels touch...

Re: Perimeter/Bearskin hiring so many departments

Yes, they are still on different CBA's. I believe the lists will be merged whenever they get the new CBA. Bearskin metros are still easy operation atleast compared to Perimeter side.

Re: Perimeter/Bearskin hiring so many departments

Bad pay. Horrible senior management. Sad working conditions. They are the only 705 in Canada (if not North America) that pilots have to load/unload/deice/fuel their own plane. The last Collective Agreement expired a long time ago, and management has been dragging their feet. They recently offered a ...
