Looks like the Canadian space program is putting people into space without us these days.

How do we not hit weather balloons?

Oh wait, I fly the 88. I probably wouldn't know I hit it, because, well, we don't care.

DAD! IS THAT REALLY YOU?

This is a beautiful overhead panel... for a 30 seat turboprop:

And to continue our overhead panel porn, talk about keeping it simple:

You'll need that Dad!

3000 hrs in the first one and 6000 hrs in the second one. I shudder at thoughts of the first overhead. Metered oil pressure is 750 psi, 25324 25148 24030 and 1213. All numbers that rush in to my head over a decade after flying the 120.

We do have our six/eight way protocol in place, and that is a lot more than others do, but it is still a far cry from labor law going outside our borders.

Unfortunately RA has stated several times in the past that he wants foreign money.

Yep-alpa can blab on and on and on about protecting flying, meanwhile RA giggles about doing what he ultimately intends to do. just watch.

I know that all to well. The only advantage we currently have is that the US industry is not really ready for foreign ownership. That does not mean it will not happen, just means that the timing is not optimum. Then again, the companies would probably take the risk if they could get it though.

I remember in one of the LCP meetings he stated that "I don't see why you guys have so much of a problem with cabotage." He's a true global economist.

The way current labor law is set up, there is not much any US Union could do if foreign ownership with a transfer of flying (cabotage)was allowed. Labor law does not bind anyone outside our borders.

As they said, there is no appetite in congress (read we tried) and with the JVs we don't need it.
