New ATC member here
Long time lurker, first time poster.
Canadian ATCO, I'll save naming the center for now, but high level enroute controller dealing with mostly NAT traffic. |
"I'll save naming the center for now" Can I have a guess? |
Sure, but it's probably not your first guess ;)
|
Thunder Bay Terminal?
|
Nah, Timmins Approach :zzz:
|
And the point of the original post was.........?
|
Hum.....
I think he was saying hello. :}
Welcome to the poster side CDN_ATC! S.A.O. CYOW TCU (kinda like Thunder Bay terminal but with airplanes :ouch:) |
Thunder Bay has airplanes.........
Loads of them little VFR going out an beating the crap out of each other. Al being herded round the circuit by a Pom :E |
To avoid confusion, no I don't work anywhere near Ontario:ok:
|
Al being herded round the circuit by a Pom |
Awwww, crap.
That's how you spell "all" in YQT |

Al being herded round the circuit by a Pom :E Fortunately it's not like that every day, plenty of feet on the desk time! Never met Al. Anyways Sport, weren't you supposed to cross train on YQT Terminal? They seemed a bit short of numbers this summer. |
Excuse me Jerricho, how very dare you........it's POHM not pom!!:=
Get 'em Squibbler! |
Ahhhhh... VFRs
Aren't they fun?
Nothing like one of our (very) french speaking Québec Pilots practicing his english R/T when you're busy. :ugh: Here's the trick for VFRs: Say "Roger!" a lot. Now, take away the suspense CDN_ATC! Can't you see it's killing us... well it isn't really but... Where're you at? SAO |
QM High level Enroute
|
That would be Moncton, New Brunswick. ;) Located near scenic Riverview, where the autumn colours must be brilliant by now!
http://i141.photobucket.com/albums/r.../Riverview.png Do you know Mr. Oxner or Scooter Magee? |
Yes I do both, same ops room, they just work a different specialty then me. Should I say hello?
|
Say hello to Stephane Blanchard for me if you can!
Felix S.A.O. |
I will, he just recently qualified a few weeks ago after his transfer.
|
They probably don't remember me, as I was one of several old grey-haired
types on a fam tour a while back. Somewhat complex airspace to work, given your FIR boundaries. CZQM does seems like a great place to work, as your staff appears top-notch. :ok: Best regards E.S.B. |
Lowest cost of living in the entire country by far when it comes to IFR work, combine that with a small-medium sized town (110,000) and pretty much the same pay as anywhere else around the country, and you've got a pretty sweet deal, I'm enjoying it as long as I can, hopefully the length of my career!
You're right also, great bunch of guys here, everyone gets along. |
Right on!
Glad to hear Steph is a qualified now. Thanks for the info.
Felix |
Glad you enjoyed it!
Next time you're in the country come east, be glad to show you around. |
