. We need a timelone and there needs to be consequences if that timeline isn't adhered to. FAA and EASA are doing a brilliant job respecting confidences, with the exception of one Canadian. I can't let this comment stand. The Canadian didn't leak anything, he was communicating "internally"...
Jump to postIm just gonna copy this since its so true. The FAA is a gold standard for aviation safety because they act on facts, not public opinion. They issued the type certificate for this aircraft and have an obligation to investigate thoroughly, because as the issuer of the TC, their decision impacts every...

1) When watching a hockey game on TV and I see people in the stands standing up during play to watch the play. I don't mean like for a second or two after a close call or something.

Jump to postI don't see the fuss about flying ~3 hrs in a Q400. Comfy plane, especially when coupled with Porter' s nice service.
Jump to postThis is massive news. When I worked at an aircraft OEM one of my Directors somewhat jokingly predicted that some day the aircraft makers as we know them could be "demoted" to a supplier role, hired by massive conglomerates (like UTC) to supply little more than a fuselage and wings while bu...
Jump to postAstonishingly bad name and rationale for the name. I'm offended that people made money, a lot of money probably, coming up with this.
Jump to postThis person is a horrible human being.
EUR50 to print a boarding pass is outstandingly stupid as policy and serves little more than to inflame, subjecting front line staff like Sabrina to appalling existences like this scumbag.
I'd like LH to take over YOW-FRA from AC and restore it to year-round. The trouble is that the smallest plane available for the job is the 333, which may be a touch large, plus the 4-class cabin config isn't really appropriate for this market.
Jump to postIf the inspection was not accomplished it was not airworthy. If the paperwork was not done it was not airworthy. These are the only statements that truly matter in relation to this story.

Jump to postYOW has the services it does because the local market uses them, and almost always pays a premium for the privilege. "Luck" has nothing to do with it. Airlines are not charities. AC/etc. should thank the local market, not the opposite.
Jump to postJust to be clear, I'm not suggesting what Porter should or shouldn't do. I'm suggesting what the YOW OMCIAA should do, IF Porter is sniffing around for a (new/another) home for those C Series. What do we know? - PD's operation is mainly based at YTZ, operating short distance routes using Q400. - PD ...
Jump to postMy feeling on this is that the Ottawa OMCIAA should pursue this with vigor. Porter already has a decent operation here, but it seems that an opportunity exists to set up a little "hub-ette". Do whatever it takes to make it happen. This makes sense, as it was always my opinion that YOW was...
