Mutual benefit funds are not as safe as people like to think

Hi All,

Buzzy, your comment about insurance companies is both factually and anecdotally incorrect. In fact there should be more concern about the MBF than Comminsure or other insurers. And to be...

HH, Captain, et al,

First off, Q400 is Cat C actually.

The other thing I will mention is that the EGPWS in the Q400 is rather sensitive. It has a habit of going off too easily. The company is...

MBF

If I may just shoot one perception down here, MBF is NOT the best product out there (my opinion only of course). Here's why:

For starters, the MBF is not insurance and therefore users do not have...

High capacity across the board

Q'link operates on a high capacity AOC. That's it. There's no other consideration. Even though the 200 is 36 seats it is operating on the same AOC as the 300 and 400 so it is still part of...
