No "Proof" readers I guess...............or they just hired a recent US High School graduate.

Why ??

Metal Rats at Westjet?? Look at the rear end of the engine cowling

Whatttttttt ! Nobody saw that coming !!! Wanna bet fares will increase as well ?? JMO......"Guests" will look at that $2.56 and ignore that increase as just a 1/2 cup of Starbucks, ( sorry, this is ULCC so perhaps McD's coffee), and no big deal because it will be itemized, however, fares are known to fluctuate so those increases will be more of a concern to the travelers. But what is the reason for the fare increases ??? $2.56 /guest per ticket is hardly going to cover "one "guest" should Swoop have another boon-dongle such as stated in this thread..

And the reason for going to the moon is ???? BTW..it would take 7 months for a space ship to get to Mars.......hard to believe that peace and tranquility will last 7 months when most people get antsy in an aluminum/plastic tube that carries them, in the atmosphere, for 10-12 hours but......at least most have someone waiting for them upon arrival !!?

Jazz aircraft...after Rouge or Mainline gets you to a jump off spot.

Hopefully cordial, but they do not codeshare. Air Georgian is a Tier III codeshare with AC

Yes, that is the RAT but I think people missed it because the RAT blades are in the vertical position vs the horizontal position and not so obvious . The prop on this bird scribes a circle is around 2.5 feet in diameter when running A380 RAT blade scribes a circle is around 5.5 feet in diameter when running (largest in the world)

Good to hear.....not

Well all of this keeps the unemployment rates down...Yay !!

Why did you post the picture of the aircraft flying in a snowstorm????

There are pictures on page one of this thread

Yup, and not too many people caught that error as well. I had only been at CP for a few months when I asked a "brass hat" what the logo signified other than the bilingual issue. I was told that the chevron was supposed to always point FORWARD to indicate the airline was GOING FORWARD. Even the mobile ground equipment" had the chevron on them and it was adjusted on each side of the vehicles, as per the aircraft to be always pointing forward...but I saw a few vehicles that had the name/logo on incorrectly.....? Trivia.......I was down in the "southern " USA and as me and my crew walked off the tarmac we were approached by a "y'all" ground service person and he asked what "Forces Armees Canadiennes" meant on the one side of our C-130. Before I could answer the grizzled old FE said.... "Door on other side"..

You beat me to it....?

Another "Raccoon Bandito" paint job on the nose...looks good !!

???????????????????????

Well that sucks.................. On a personal note I have been going to San Andres to scuba dive for the past 11-12 years, initially out of YYZ, and for the past 5 years out of YUL...(YYZ service cancelled) There was reasonably priced all inclusive packages available and every flight I was on, especially out of YUL, was fully booked. The flight was direct, non-stop around 5:30 hrs Now I would have to go to Bogota/Panama and then take another airline and it would be a 26-29 hour trip and there is no offers of "all Inclusive"? Gonna have to dive elsewhere I guess....?

You do realize this is all satire, tongue in cheek????

Years ago, when the RCAF was intercepting the Russian Bombers who were testing the DEW line etc, they would intercept them as the RCAF flew along side of them, the Navigator, in the back seat of the CF 100/101, would hold up a big sign.......GIVE UP or WE WILL BLOW UP. Lotta money wasted on fighters because "someone" said...hey, we had fighter pilots in WW2...so we still must need them...Time DND and the politicians had a reality check. Let the clown down south and ego maniac in the geographically largest country in the world play their games and we''ll just watch the chaos.

SAMFU Semi-Automatic Military F..k Up

Escort who? They don't have enough gas for long range heavy transport and in most cases it is a SAMFU to organize leap frog escorts. They would not be very effective for escorting CG Ships, again because range and operational logistics. IMO even a minimum of fighters in Canada makes no sense.

Agree, the screaming about our responsibility to NATO is rhetoric of days gone by. Put the money into Heavy Transport which can supplement NATO, and SAR Strong at home, with a military ready and able to defend its sovereignty Another joke line. We are the second largest, (geographically) country in the world with 90% of the population living within 100 miles of the US border. Who do you think is going to jump on their horses if Canada looks like it will be invaded ? If anyone can post any factual data where we are, or have been, extremely fortunate to have fighter aircraft in DND, (post WW2), please do so. Time for DND and the Canadian Government to have a honest reality check.
