This comes up every now and then on PPRuNe.
You're thinking of the column in Canadian Aviation penned by Air Canada pilot Jack Desmarais about the exploits of fictitious Maritimes airline Down East International. They were later published as a book, a copy of which I may still have somewhere.
The dramatis personae were pilots Ace McCool, Pete Braddock, The Smarts, Churchy Laflamme, Cowboy McCloskey, Red Starr and T.I. Jacobs, cabin crew Stew Jane, Crazy Iris and Mile-High Millie and mechanic Phil Lister.
I had the pleasure of meeting Jack when on a Canadian demo tour in the mid-80s, great guy and his stories are absolutely hilarious.
