July 11th marks the 16th year since we lost some dear friends. This website is the only one that I have found that is dedicated to the 'challenging' working conditions found at a company that was once filled with a great work force of people.

Lest we as an industry, forget

I am an Air Canada retiree, with 35 years service. Myself and several colleagues witnessed the unveiling of the Tree and Plaque near the Admin Bldg (now removed) at Pearson Airport. We were greatly impressed by the closeness of the NX (or former NX) employees, and their commitment to the "Honorees". I am glad to read it still remains as a monument to them.
Let us not dwell on the greed that brought this tragedy about, but on the comaraderie of those happy faces in your picture, and those they chose to serve!
MAY THEY REST IN PEACE!
Perservere my freind, it is the ultimate Victory!

Perservere my freind, it is the ultimate Victory!

This by far has to be the strongest words I have ever read.

Through a friend, I've heard you're doing well.

Keep in touch.

I just viewed the NX site for the first time the other day, and was taken with the obvious comradeship of the former employees which exists to this very day.

I remember the DC-8 going down in the desert, and the obvious cover-up that took place right after it...can't believe Pollock is with MoT...jesus.

It goes to show, that despite the way NX was managed, and what the staff had to endure, a common bond which is strong is hard to break. With such a strong bond, it is impossible for those who perished to be forgotten...and that is so important.

I am sure everyone in aviation in the great white north sends their best to all ex-NXers out there - I know I do...
