ehbuddy · Post by **ehbuddy** » Fri Feb 17, 2006 11:08 am

As far as I know only 1 Citation in Calgary for now and the actual use for it is not known. It may be fractional or charter or perhaps both.

It is the most up to date one posted on the Transport Canada site...... Maybe you should tell TC.

Perhaps the aircraft was only recently aquired and is not on the OC yet!

ehbuddy · Post by **ehbuddy** » Fri Feb 17, 2006 10:08 pm

The OC shows 2 Seneca's and 2 Conquests......

Last time I noticed they only had one of each and that was yesterday.

fatdumbandlazy · Post by **fatdumbandlazy** » Fri Feb 17, 2006 10:19 pm

AOC's say nothing of how many aircraft are owned or operated by a company. That's why you should do a register search if you are that nosy.

The AOC says that the Seneca and Conquest are both approved to operate under CAR 702 and CAR 703. Additionally, if the company were to no longer operate a type of aircraft it would not necessarly disapear off their AOC. TC and companies are reluctant to remove aircraft types from AOC's due to the expense involved in putting a type on the certificate.

Last time I looked Alta Flights was not QuiK Air. Quik Air has Jetstreams which do not appear on the O.C. of Alta Flights. The citation is sitting on the Quik Air ramp in YYC and is rummored to be on the O.C. of Quik Air when the time comes. So it seems the company to watch here is not Alta Flights, but Quik Air.

What kind of SW4 has a MGTOW of 17000?

Isn't the SW4 14500 with the heavy version being 16000?

Noob · Post by **Noob** » Sun Feb 19, 2006 5:57 pm

Are they hiring? I doubt I have enough time for a fancy jet (300hrs) but maybe enough for a King Air or something. Any advice would be great.

stay away from this place...I heard bad things..

slowstream · Post by **slowstream** » Mon Feb 20, 2006 9:30 am

Alta Flights is a fairly good company by todays standard and has a good strong amangement team in place. The important thing is that they are heading in the right direction after a long struggle to get back up and they're doing a good job! Way to go.

Nothing to be affraid of with them.

Is that right? This so called "strong management team" that you purport wouldn't happen to be the same ones that nearly shut the company down was it? Were they the same ones in place when you lost/voluntarily withdrew your OC? Is this the same company that Contrail won't touch with a 10 foot poll which essentially eliminates 90% of the work in YYC/YEG?

Or are you one of them and this is part of your job responsibilities - selling people that the "new and improved" AF is better?

ajet32 · Post by **ajet32** » Mon Feb 20, 2006 1:24 pm

Quikair does not at this time hold an AOC so all aircraft operated by them are flown by a contracter with Quikair as the customer. The jet is owned by Al and may or may not be used for charter , right now it still has an N registration and it will be a while for the import.

Tube Driver · Post by **Tube Driver** » Mon Feb 20, 2006 3:11 pm

Like I said earlier Quick Air is the one to watch on this one, not Alta. By the way I have also heard rummors that Quick Air will soon be running five Jetstreams including two really nice pimped out machines.

ajet32 · Post by **ajet32** » Mon Feb 20, 2006 3:59 pm

The first is ready its just paperwork holding things up now.

kariboo Kid,

I won't take this any further into the gutter than you have; you are obviously a complete and total frickin moron who can't read. No I'm not management there but they do have my respect. The management team is replaced the old one (several years ago) and they've done a decent job. They're not perfect but at least they can read and as I said earlier, they are at least heading in the right direction.

Slowstream's right, the whole face of Alta has changed. New CP, new ACP and a clean 'seperation' from the major players that almost destroyed the company a few years ago.

Hyster: Your comments are almost three years out of date my man. Figures though as U are probably in nowheresville, SK.

Kariboo kid: You seem to be quite Anti-Alta as well. Strange. You are also three years out-of-date. I think Alta lost its OC in the spring or 2002...3 years ago!

By the way Kariboo, while you are writing your response why not let us all in on Cariboo's 'great' new pay-scale. A nice slap in the face for all the hard-working, committed, pilots there!

greenwich I'm not from SK what are you talking about. I know a guy whos there thats all.

Slowstream until they get rid of the ops manager, management hasnt changed.

Kariboo Kid · Post by **Kariboo Kid** » Tue Feb 21, 2006 10:47 am

Greenwich,

Relax there Chachi, I don't have a beef with AF, I have a beef with the management that screwed some of my friends that were there in the past.

Another question: tell me who owns these fancy new jets, tell me if this is the same person that ran the company back when things went in the tank and bent many of my friends over and that will prove my point.

if you don't work there, shut it.

Yes they were the shits. But the place is quite different now.

would be interested in hearing about NCA's "great new payscale".....
