Re: Well done WestJet!
Could you post a link to those CARS references? I didn't realize there were max duty times for private flights. I can't find it anywhere in the CARS.Jastapilot wrote:cut'n paste:
604.30 Flight duty time may be extended beyond the maximum flight duty times referred to in subsections 604.27(1) and 604.28(1)

Re: Well done WestJet!
Aw, no. No, I will not start another thread just to ask a question about a post in this thread. That wouldn't seem prudent. Just because you were the originator of this thread doesn't mean you get to control it. You may have started it but then it brought about the discussion on duty days and extending due to unforeseen circumstances. And that happened on the second post of the thread. But you have the balls to single me out, when I ask another person who posted on your precious thread a question? Seriously? Isn't that the point of the forum; to discuss topics relating to aviation? And what exactly was the point of your original post? You flew on WestJet and they had an IROP and they handled it. What did you think would happen? WestJet would read this and offer you a job because you praised them on the internet? Is this a lame attempt at sucking up to them so you can have a better chance at a job with them in the future? Are you going to attach your original post to your resume? Is that why you are getting all ruffled under the collar when others pointed out the possible CARS infraction? And if that wasn't your intent and you didn't want all the attention and the discussion, why did you post this in the General Comments section of the board when the WestJet section is available?

Now, back to the topic at hand. Can anyone post a link to the CARS reference above? I'm thinking Jastapilot might have quoted his companies ops manual where they took the 700 series CARS for duty times and changed them to reflect their 604 operation but by coincidence they are in the 6th section of said ops manual. I'm just interested in seeing where they came from. Thanks.

No, the topic at hand was "Thank you westjet" not "oh I think they wont over your duty time." Use your brain.

When do I get to talk about WestJet's Fatigue Matrix?
Re: Well done WestJet!
So what was the response you expected when you posted your first post in this thread? It was your post that brought out the duty time discussion and since you don't seem to have any expert opinion to add to it, why are you getting all bent out of shape? You seem to be taking it personally gauging by your poorly worded response. Relax, buddy. Besides, WestJet has already flagged all the passengers on that return flight so that if their name ever applies for a job, they will give you an extra star during the hiring process for publicly praising them.Randleman wrote:Oh yeah, you are a genious!

Re: Well done WestJet!
Those Subpart 604 references were from before safety oversight of private operators was transferred to the CBAA. They were dropped from the Regulations when Subpart 604 was revised in December, 2005. The CBAA requires private operators to have a fatigue management system in place. This is what the CBAA requirements are for unforeseen:Pratt X 3 wrote:Could you post a link to those CARS references?

Unforeseen Operational Circumstances
The fatigue management system may provide for the flight duty time to be extended by up to three hours in the case of unforeseen operational circumstances provided that:
a. the subsequent minimum rest period is increased by an amount at least equal to the extension of the flight duty time; and
b. all persons involved explicitly agree to extend the flight duty time.

Re: Well done WestJet!
Hey Pratt, that was a cut and paste off a search i did on the Transport Canada website. Search using the term "unforeseen operational circumstances" and you'll find what I found. Incidentally off the top of my head, it's also word for word in our ops manual.
Re: Well done WestJet!
Yeah, it was pretty much the standard that I was familiar with except for the 604 and the private operator references. Thanks for the info.
