Re: Just the wing tip

The 767 will buff right out. Not even going to be late on the next departure. The plastic 787 12 million in damage and three months downtime.

Re: Any advice for a VFR Hamilton city tour?

Plus one don't worry about pestering a controller. It's what they are there for. Though as an airline pilot please be sure to make sure your radio calls are up to snuff. Who you are where you are and what you want.

Congratulations on the first job.

Without a doubt I would get a Telex Stratus 50D again in a heartbeat. I flew metros and it was by far the quietest thing going. Second worth every penny.

Re: CBC: Why are airlines getting millions from a fee to upgrade airports?

4 to 7 percent is quite significant... I would guess that it does not cost nearly that much to account and manage the process of airport fees. Reminds me of renting a car in the states where I accidentally go on to a toll highway, later I get charged 15 usd 3 times to process the 50 cent charge for...

More from our favorite "passenger rights advocate". Do they think could collecting and accounting for all those fees is free? Seems reasonable to pay for that service.

Both CAE and Simuflight offer B200 sims with your choice Proline 2 or Proline 21, and are TC approved. They do have some examiner available for a PPC or as most people do just supply your own.

Re: BA A380 diverted to vancouver smoke in the cabin.

Although YYC is setup for the A380 as far as I am aware the only gate that could take the beast is the new terminal which does not open to Halloween. Even if there was a suitable gate, I am sure there is no marking or lines to get it positioned properly to get a gate to dock with the aircraft. So yo...

Re: Q400 Headset

At some point you will also dead head, so I like this combo:

Bose QC15 which you can get at Costco still.

And the uFly Mike, which has put the QC15 back in production.

Great in the flight deck or back in with the unwashed masses. Just be sure to keep a supply of AAA batteries.
