Re: How much do you hate CATSA

Re: Voyageur Airways Interview

i chose to work for perimeter aviation when they had a training bond and again for air georgian when they had a promissary note

i regret both to this day

i will never work for a company that requires either but it is easy for me to say this now given my current position in my career

Re: Jazz at CYKZ

Anyone know what Jazz is doing at YKZ? http://flightaware.com/live/flight/JZA7083 I've heard 7083 and 7032 flight numbers in/out of YKZ today. most likely the somewhat regular charter from YKZ to YQG for clients that want to go to the casino one would be the repositioning flight either from or to Y...
