What I find ironic about this action by TC is when they had a series of gear up ladings in their own fleet, { all pilot "finger trouble"}along with the department head of the heavy air carier department mis- managing the fuel on a King Air, {good God, how does one "mismage "fuel on a King Air?!!!!} there was no suspension of their OC and the pilots punishment consisted of three weeks suspension WITH PAY! The fact is that Buffalo has to fly in some of the toughest parts of Canada and does so every day, whereas we never see TC flying when the whole East goes flat in spite of the forecasts saying otherwise, a daily ocurance in the North, nor do we see them on contaminated runways, it seems there are two standards at work here," us and them". Another discusion altogether but why does TC even have a fleet of aircraft? Private contractors could do it much cheaper and safer. Jo may have sinned, but lets keep the playing field level!
