Hey snapped, a "beta back-up system" wont prevent you from selecting reverse in flight! Back to the books young son! Now, I've never flown an F50, but I do have time on the F27. Now, while the F27 dosen't even have reverse...it's the same ground fine pitch set up as the 748's have...you do have to r...

Endless, maybe they removed it....but I helped put it there, so I know that KL3 is/was the final resting place for CF-XXT. The world's worst DC3! A true DOG of an airplane! BowWow!

I'd start by buying your pilot a beer. He's been with you long enough to realize he's had a close call...and guess what? He wont do THAT again! Sounds like the "blame" was indeed a "team effort"!

"engine failures most often happen during power changes"...or something to that affect. This used to be true in Daks and other airplanes equiped with big old round engines, that required two and sometimes even three power reductions after take off alone....BUT today's engines....particulary the ones...

There's an op in Florida doing this sort of thing with new 172's. Everybody buys a % of the total, then pays an annual fee for somebody to manage the whole thing....the flying is all broken down in $$$ per hour flown.

If I could get my paws on 30K, I'd be parked on their doorstep! Methinks JetsGo will be around for a while. So will WestJet.

They just need somebody in there to help run the thing, who isn't a relation to the boss....and can stand up to him and "call a spade, a spade"!

Some companies out there, like Wasaya do a fine job of training. While others totally suck at it. I'm a ...
