Canadian Gal

Well I finally made it home. The drive back in the Docs new car was a long one, but uneventful. Next time someone wants me to go pick up there new ride, they will be flying me down on a chartered plane. Not surprising that many people call Air Canada, Scare Canada. What an incompetent, miserable, useless, collection of idiots. And if I ever land a plane that hard, I'll go home and burn my license. A woman sitting near me asked if we crashed, it was that bad. I replied, that technically hitting that hard should be considered crashing, and definitely was reason for the plane to get pulled into a shop, and fully inspected. A man sitting across from me chimed in, that my dog should have been piloting the plane, he would have done a better job, which made many of us laugh. On the way off the plane I made sure to thank the stewardess for Nothing, and told her to remember to take her meds from now on...she was so rude and grumpy to everyone. If I treated customers like that, I would be fired. While stopped for a late lunch break, I sent an email to air Canada, letting them know how bad their staff, and the landing were. That pilot shouldn't even have solo privileges yet, much less flying for an airline. And the one stewardess wasn't too bad, but the other should be locked up in a padded cell in an insane asylum. My dog is sensitive to the energy people give off as well, and he hated her, because she was such a bitch, and he likes almost everyone. When he has his service vest on, people technically shouldn't be petting him, feeding him etc. But often they do regardless of him being a service dog. Today he interacted with literally hundreds of people, and he likes people, a young girl at our lunch stop came and sat on the restaurant floor to pat him and cuddle, he Liked her a lot. But that stewardess made his hair stand up, he was tense when she was close by, and twice he growled at her. Yet the guy in the next seat was petting him, scratching his nexk, feeding him snacks, and commented on how sweet my boy was.

Good...i hope they read this and learn from it.

Is it beside the 8 track player?

The original question was, does anyone here own N20RJ, or do you have personal knowledge about it, such as flying it, wrenching on it.

Does anyone here remember way back when airlines cared about their customers. Staff were nice, and remembered that they only had a job because of their fine customers. This morning I took a commercial flight to Vancouver. The Air Canada/ Jazz staff were so rude, uncaring, horrible, despicable, disgusting, unprofessional, and to top it off, also liars. What this world needs is a good airline, that is global. Staff are all trained to offer A+ customer service, and nothing less. I'm surprised that airline staff are not beaten up 1000 times per day. I called my boss after landing, which by the way was also horrible, it was more akin to a crash when you slam it on the runway that hard, and told him that if ever asked to fly commercial again I quit.

Glad they are alive. What a mess.

Interesting.

WhyyyyyyyyyyWhyWhyyWhyyyWhyyyyWhyyyyyWhyyyyyy?

I was wondering why so many people trashed this pretty cool sounding flying job the OP posted. I dated an airline pilot. Have an uncle, cousin, and friend who are airline pilots. Sure not something that I would want to do.

Woohoo!

My float rating is the best thing I have ever done for flying fun by far. I can't even Imagine not owning a float plane now.

True!

I didn't know that winning a day was even a thing.

-10F is still pretty warm.

I would be good with all planes being tailwheel, or on floats. What we need is more, and smaller airports, with grass runways. Also airliners on floats. Instead of landing way out at airports, they could often land in the downtown areas of cities, as many are beside the ocean, a river runs through them, or a nearby lake. That tailwheel Bonanza would be cool, and give mine chaff, and rear facing missiles please.

Cold winter days are a big factor.

I am not a psychologist, but find this thread extremely interesting from the point of view that a cool sounding job, became all about airlines, ATP, ratings, etc. For me if looking at flying jobs, this would be a million times more appealing than any airline job. For some, an airline job sounds like a prison sentence, not a good thing.

Wow!!! That is beyond beautiful!

Why not go for a true upgrade

Good time building job, probably fun. Not sure why some want to compare it to an airline job, and remember also that many pilots don't want an airline job. Some people actually just love to fly, not be a glorified bus driver.

Not a fat doctor amongst them. It also helps that I am not heavy. My heaviest Doc and I together are 315 lbs. I'm a believer in the Cherokee six for a family plane, my parents have owned one a long time, still do, and many family trips were done in it. If I had to regularly haul 4 people, especially if any were fat, I would be looking at other planes. When I fly a patient and a parent, it is usually not far. If I wasn't going to be happy with an Ovation ultra, there isn't much else out there I would be happy with, unless making a large jump. No desire to go the 340 or 414 route. It would likely be wait a while and get a new Denali or Kodiak. Or simply buy another 185 that stays on wheels year round...I'm a 185 fan.

Thanks everyone. I just wondered if someone here owned or flew it. I'm well aware of the useful load, and typically fly 1 or 2 people around, if not alone. For big loads my 185 can haul the linebacker sized guys. Appreciate all your feed back.

Anyone here own, or experienced with N20RJ. A 2018 Ovation Ultra that is currently for sale.

My point was that johnny at mooney, shouldn't feel so cocky, because if he thinks that his 50 year old patents are going to make him the only player in this league, he should crack open a book on patent laws sometime.
