Bombardier Globals are assembled at Downsview, so you most likely witnessed a test or certification flight. Was the aircraft painted yet?

Perhaps you've already touched on this (you probably have) but how does the P8 flying profile compare to the 140? Low-level cranking and banking still required?

Airline seniority would definitely be a hurdle to overcome... but a pension would be a nice cushion while making FO pay for the first 5 years at the airline. On the corporate side, RCAF Challenger pilots could easily slide directly into the left seat (assuming they have the appropriate TC...

Unless things have changed, obligatory service is "reset" once Wings are awarded. So, an RMC grad would owe 5 years of service for the subsidized education (during which OJT / pilot training would occur), and subsequently owe another 7 (?) years of service after Wings. While certainly...

I don't think this is an accurate statement.

Well.... not the MAX, but the older 800, which WJ still uses. So, the nickname still applies. Edit: G2G beat me to it

Glad they were recognized - thanks for the link. If interested, the FB page "The 737 Handbook" has posted a video depicting speed and altitude of both aircraft - a bit better visualization than the other video here.

Respectfully, I'll disagree here: TWR: "Fly heading 170, runway 18L, cleared for takeoff" Destination, routing, and altitude already given prior to taxiing. I'm not sure that SW really took an abnormally long time taxiing to position and commence their roll - I interpret ATC's question...

In the video you posted, it sounds to me like Southwest was cleared for take off with heading and altitude assigned, unless I'm mistaken. If the video captioning ia accurate, it's FedEx that calls for Southwest to abort, as they (FedEx) are going-around. If so, good SA on FedEx, realizing that...

To be fair to the Southwest crew, it's not uncommon to be cleared to depart via a Standard Instrument Departure (SID) prior to pushing back, only to be assigned a new heading / altitude with take off clearance. No FMS fiddling required in this example - select HDG mode and turn the knob. I'm...

To add to your post, I believe the CC150 recently (2020ish) achieved IOC to support NORAD ops. Is 435 still doing AAR these days?

To circle back to the original comment about e-charts and navigation - electronic charts displayed on tablets (and in many cases multi-function displays built into an aircraft's instrument panel) will often depict the aircraft's position directly onto the chart. As SSM indicated, this is great...

North Star said: Weird obscure protocol thing: now that he's no longer a holder of an OMM, doesn't he lose the silver-mullet cougars? For clarity's sake, the "silver mullet cougars" are supporters of former GG Julie Payette's coat of arms, not Gen Vance's. That said, Vance's (now revoked) CMM...

Thanks, Brihard, for these succinct updates. Very informative!

The older 2 x Challenger 601 aircraft with obsolescent avionics were replaced by 2 x Challenger 650, resulting in a mixed fleet of 604 and 650 jets that are compliant with current standards. An avionics upgrade has been available for 604s since 2017, and according to the 2020 press release...

Attributing the quote also sends a notification to the person being quoted, allowing timelier responses in order to clarify, provide context, rebut etc.

The photo of documents arranged on the floor wasn't leaked, it was included in a DOJ court filing.

To be fair, he started with "one could say" which is by no means definitive. You don't seem to start your attacks with any disclaimer either. Just sayin'.
