Not in 705 operations, there aren't. Nor in heavies crossing the Atlantic, as was claimed above.

In a perfect world, all airworthiness defects would be rectified, NO question,,,,, I do NOT like to do maintenance with unrectified airworthiness related "snags" I have worked for companies that had heavies crossing the atlantic with MANY multiple MEL deferred unserviceabilities. Aircraft...

I was fortunate to have attended a 2002 dinner in Burlington where Haynes was the keynote speaker and gave a riveting presentation on the accident (versions are available on YouTube for those interested).

Why is this CEO getting more money, and indirectly funded by the taxpayer, than almost every single member of the S&P 500 -- virtually all of whom are highly successful companies, that make loads of actual profits? He's not. Bellemare's 2018 compensation was unchanged at US$10.63 million. That ...

There is no growth possibilities with the Typhoon. It wouldn't last us until 2070. And at 90M Pounds (that' CA$153M!!!) it's hardly a good bang for the buck...

Thanks, Beech 18 - I always look forward to your month-end posts on forgotten aircraft, remote strips, and so on. Keep 'em coming!

Lol seriously. Why is this a post. Go outside pelmet. Well, let's see. For starters, AvCanada is an aviation forum, last I checked, and the post related to an incident involving an aircraft. Pretty hard to argue the relevance of the post, or for that matter the OP's prerogative to post it. Continui...

Did I ever say I wanted to fly MB Airplanes? No. I asked about various companies pay. Pay attention jack ass. Not cool. Actually you asked 3 convoluted questions in your original post. One of which was: Do you apply to Airspray or is it the European owner or whatever that runs the show? which was a...

Sounds like you boxed yourself in and are or were confusing the lines... I don’t care if you were IFR equipped.... it’s a moot point. With all due respect, one is either VFR or on an IFR plan. Pretty cut and dry to me really! He was flying VFR in VMC conditions, the weather changed, his alternate c...

Just.......wow.............

Be interesting to hear how much money AC has lost due to MAX grounding. I agree, Old fella, and it'll be interesting as well to see how much of a hit Boeing ultimately takes. Market cap is off around 15% or US$38 Bn since March 1, the bulk of that presumably as a result of the market's concerns ove...

I think you're confusing the Arctic Sunwest Twin Otter that crashed in yellowknife, not Tindi. Maynard's correct. The third Air Tindi accident over the last few years did not, fortunately, involve any fatalities: http://bst-tsb.gc.ca/eng/rapports-reports/aviation/2014/a14w0181/a14w0181.asp The Arct...

Anyway.....shame about the damage to a good hangar and some fine aircraft, and about the inconvenience to neighbouring hangar owners. Glad nobody was hurt - property can be replaced.

As you say, it is a complicated world. I agree with your sentiments. Sometimes the most unscrupulous win.

Needless to say, Canada is not the only western country struggling with this.. especially with the rise of China.

I agree. China is a game-changer.

Correct me if I'm wrong you seem to be saying that it is ok for Canadian companies to bribe officials overseas? Because others do it? If I was mistaken, I apologize. Look, it's illegal (obviously) for Canadian companies to bribe government officials either domestically or in other jurisdictions. Mo...
