Whats the point of Canadian North Flight 466/467?

Anyone know why Canadian North bothers with putting on Flight 466/467?

50% of the time at least the flight is severly delayed or cancelled.

What a joke.

Perhaps they have their reasons, and did not feel the need to share them with you. So why do you care?

Maybe because I'm usually on it.

Thanks for coming out.

I'd bet it's to make money, what do I know though

If it's not going to do any good to the bottom line, why even take off?

I believe its for the oil riggers up there...If you miss that flight hop on 445 or first air.

The purpose of Canadian North 466 is to slip the surly bonds, to create an aerial ballet that will leave the heavens in envy, to gracefully accomplish feats once beyond even the wildest dreams of man.

As for Canadian North 467...I haven't got a fu'ckin clue bro. It's a giant toilet that they flush their money down. Some sort of "Johnny Cash".

why are they always severely delayed or cancelled?

Hey.. hey! Settle down.

They always seem to delay or cancel that damned flight eh? Would all the rest of you squids leave the smart ass comments outta it

Five bucks says it's just to toy with all us KBA folk...

Rowdy, 5T shouldn't need to f*** with KBAL people because KBAL itself f***'s with you quite enough!

Are they still running that POS 100? Maybe thats the delay.

Nothing like YEV direct YEG when it does work though. mmhmm...

Nope, ditched that bird a while back. Both the 463/466 have been with the 732.

or maybe the government needs them to make this run...if you know what I mean...whats in the belly?...

Just a thought....

I'd like to argue with the original premise, that this particular flight, because of it's on-time performance/ dispatch rate, is an embarrassment to us all. In the face of my recent dozen departures, it seems to be the fact.

Maybe it's just us. But it seems that if there's a 200 advanced with a full MEL, they send it on this route just in case...

I'd like to think I'm wrong.

Its a good company with good people...but those -200's are just plain pieces of shit....or at least they are now - they're old and their time has come and gone.

Now only if there was a viable alternative.

I know they're good people. Half of them were our people. I would just like it if for a month on that run, they could be prompt people.

I too would like to disagree.. but somehow CN just simply always seems delayed/no show far too often in YEV. Makes it kinda hard for the KBAL guys up there.. and a big shout out to JC and Rowdy, KM and all the YEV crew.

I hope CN gets its act together. I realize its a different animal running jets in the arctic.. but come on guys.. a bit more effort would be appreciated. Its very difficult to schedule around the delays. CN as JC said, is full of great guys.. one in particular from KBAL..YYC..training d00d.. I heard hes running around the arctic in a 37 now. Congrats R!

Fly safe all,
Cheers

No, Enerjet got a contract with Suncor.

Canadian North's is with Canadian Natural Resources.

perhaps it's the maintance, funny how there are plenty of 727's just as old as those 737-200, and those 727s are flying around every night with a few operators that have a 95-99% on time performance. I know of those flights to YEV and YFB it's been like that for years, perhaps it's gotten worse? An aircraft is only as good as the maintence and pilots who fly them.
