Voyager off the runway in YYB?

[PAFG]

I was in there on the 23rd...off the side.

People only start threads if it is about Jazz going off?

Anyone have any more info?

[Just another canuck]

That YYB is treacherous, isn't it.

i couldn't find anything in CADORS yet

If they just "explored" the side lines without getting stuck, there may not be a CADORS on the incident. Because it's a "non event". I find the whole CADORS thing a bit like CRIME BUSTERS?

I'd check throughout the day Monday. I believe that the "data-entry" folks in the CADORS shop are M-F, 9-5 types.

Only if you've got a mad-on for Jazz

Those long runways at North Bay ARE a hazard. The problem originates with them Dash-8 drivers who are used to landing on 31 at Coppermine, and turning off at the taxiway: they get confused as to which part of YYB 26 to land on.

I believe it was an RJ (thats what the ground guy told me, I didnt even know they had RJ's) and they were quite a way off the runway.

Used along with Dash-8s on UN contract in Africa.

I guess that's what 10 000$ worth of training teaches you : how to skid off a 10 000' runway

Jeeze,

At a dollar a foot, you may want to choose a shorter runway?

ROFLMAO!

[bornagain1340]

Priceless...
It's not pro-rated though...so even if you slide off a 6000 foot-er, you're still paying a dollar a foot to 10,000.

YYB is the Bermuda triangle of posts.

Disappearing in 3....2....1.......

[swordfish]

No, no, no...

If you spend $10,000 in training costs, you can practice on 2 runways - 5000' each. If you fail to fail the first time, you get a second chance to fail again.

I am SO staying away from this one.....

I like to point out Voyageur's extreme safetly record. They don't break minimums or stop on runways.

It's 15,000 dollars to train on the RJ or Dash's... just so you guys know.

Now you have to re-evaluate the cost per foot of training.

Hmmm, that's $1.50/foot.... Boy, am I glad I can land from a hover....

Is there some sort of " sliding " scale to compute the cost of where you depart the runway based on how much of the runway you use before you run out of ideas and depart it?

If you land short do you still get penalized?

It was a beauty, cube:

I hope they all got it....

Or did you mean: "They don't brake for Mums, or stop for runaways"?

[The Orillia kid]

Is it true that Voyageur make the pilots buy their own charts and approach plates?
and that they only pay captains on a Kingair 100 42K a year?

pay peanuts and you get Monkeys!!!!

I have heard that they are not getting many applicants accepting jobs. a pay increase may be needed to attract more applicants and a stop to making crews pay for charts and approach plates.

[F/O Crunch]

What a useless thread.

Isn't that the same at the mighty Kenn Borek Air?

[Just another canuck]

Isn't that the same at many companies?

[Donald]

Shhh! Don't tell WJ, they'll probably implement that to save $$ (and lower the bar) too!
