Q400 For Central Mountain Air
BC-based Central Mountain Air has begun operations on its largest airframe to date. The regional carrier, which serves mainly coastal and northern communities, is using the Q400 to serve a mine via Dease Lake Airport and in conjunction with the Tahltan Nation.
Now For The Hard Part
Air Canada’s schedule is intact thanks to a tentative deal with its pilots. Although the deal sounds rich (42 percent over four years), junior pilots are reportedly still unhappy with where they’ll end up with the deal, between $75,700 and $134,000 a year. Voting continues for the next three weeks.
A Little on the Nose
An Air Canada A330 was damaged when a catering truck hit it on the nose just before it was due to be boarded for a flight from Montreal to Casablanca. The airline was able to find a replacement aircraft and there was minimal delay. The plane was fixed the same day and resumed its normal schedule.
