Tango Foxtrot

Thanks Kargokings Good link Looks like the new fuel delivery system is not completed yet. I think YVR already has a pipeline to the refineries. Looks like when the airport was busy, the pipeline was supplemented by 70 truck loads a day. Interesting that a new daily Asia flight would add another 80 truckloads of fuel a month. That's a lot of fuel and trucks. The new pipeline is 14 inches in diameter !

With the fuel shortages in the Vancouver area, how are YVR and YXX doing for fuel? Any problems?

Are you trying to tell us that you do this sober? Are you out of work because of your Flu Clucks Clan membership ?

Perhaps a sobriety test incorporated into the "submit reply " function would facilitate better replies

As much as I dislike the "Flu Clucks Clan ", and have no time for their ignorance...... Common sense should prevail. The rules are going to change. Why all the drama? Where are our unions? I agree. I don't want to work with, or be served by unvaccinated people. I am vaccinated, should I be sent home? How about a softer stance? Unvaccinated, you are going home. When the rules change, we will welcome you back with open arms. You will continue to accrue seniority, no you won't be paid, no you are not welcome on the premises or the airplane. Look around, unvaccinated people that don't work here are not allowed here either.

All airlines are "money laundering schemes ". It's the only practical explanation.

Edmonton's city council is known for not having the slightest grip on reality when it comes to airports. If I lived in the city I know who I would not be voting for.

I have become so tired of the "Flu Clucks Clan " that I have been saying to them, " I hope someone you know gets it and dies " Harsh, but really.

Quoting one of my favorite politicians ever... "Yeah he's a good man" ? Had the thought today, a lot of the rules regarding travel right now, are very comparable to taking the captains toenail clippers away from him ? ?

See People listen to Kip ! The lonely 737s have been moved to be with 20 of their friends.

Brought to you by the leader of the "Flu Clux Clan " You sure you're not from Alberta?

I agree, Canada should use the country with the highest number of covid deaths, by a huge margin , as the example of the proper way to handle covid.

Ex Westjet 737 NGs

Specs The top of the seniority lists are venturing off to "Dot Land" at an alarming rate. There are no new people coming into the bottom. Add to that the number of existing people at the bottom of the seniority lists that will not return. Old aircraft are being removed permanently from service. New aircraft are not being built. Even with the obvious good reasons not to, and ridiculous rules forcing the decision, everyone I know wants to travel. Everybody in Canada will be vaccinated by September. Every day new treatments are discovered to help patients recover. Just my $.02 worth.

If you thought there was a shortage of pilots before, wait till this is over. Frontier is smart. Maybe some of the new hires will stay. There will be not enough pilots, not enough aircraft, and nobody to fix them. Let's hope the people that run the place use it as an opportunity to make some money for a change. For years I have thought that if you raised the fares 25 cents a week for 3 months, you would not know what to do with all the money ?

I am impressed ? Covid is so smart it only affects assigned seats ? Gotta be the most clever virus ever ?

There is an Air Canada 737 max sitting at a gate in YEG ?

Thanks Canoehead ! good link. I was very lucky to meet Max Ward after he retired. Our hanger was right next to his in YXD. Our aircraft had the same engines as his Challenger,and we knew how to fix Twin Otters! So we got to know his Mechanic Dan Mcniven. I would pop by Dan's office for coffee, expecting that if Max was there, that I would carry on smartly and leave them to their business. Max was very welcoming, Dan was a character ! Many interesting conversations. Yes JL , it was like being in the presence of Aviation Royalty. One of the Ground handlers wanted a poster of a Wardair 747 signed. Dan suggested I leave the poster, and Max would sign it when he came through. Patti wanted to have it signed in person, and to meet Max. Arrangements were made. Max was in the cockpit of his Challenger preparing for a flight when Patti got there. She emerged about 20 minutes later with a signed poster, and looking like she had met her Hero! The Challenger was broken outside of customs at YXD. Something wrong with steering. Max was out there in his white coveralls working on it! After I moved out to YEG I got to know the Air Canada mechanics. An RJ100 was grounded for lack of a navigation light bulb. Max happened to be across the ramp with his Challenger. We went over and asked if maybe he carried a spare could we borrow it. Max was more than happy to go digging through his airplane and gave us all the spares he had. Later I brought him a box of bulbs from Air Canada. Max Ward was very well respected in Edmonton. A Legend. He deserved it, he was Amazing. Tony

I still think Westjet has the worst livery in Canada. Hope to see more of the new ones. ?

We need to take the word "Authority " out of their name. Why do we have airport "Authorities ", and Police Services. They should be called "Airport Service Providers ". Maybe deflate their heads a little.

Essential with a shoot pile of seniority ???

Notice that the wing is on top where it is supposed to be ??
