Hi Supercool add Jim, those are excellent questions. 2, The plane is a write off, anyway who has the cash for a Skycrane to lift it to Gander or St. John's. Prohibitively expensive. 3. You can take items you can carry in the rescue basket only,weight is prohibitive in a fuel swallowing Cormoront. 3. Several years ago Richard Bransons attempted to go around the world in a balloon. He failed, the Canadian Military put on a very expensive rescue for him from the Canadian Arctic. The Canadian government sent him the rescue bill because it was perceived as a foolish rich mans game. Its hard to say how much to charge him with, fuel, aircraft and aircrew. It was more than a 10 mission time to rescue thi7s very fortunate man.

I certainly hope that this isn't a repeat of the HINDENBERG with hydrogen doesn't go up in flames. That's the problem is that it is flammable and it spreads like lighting. That is my major concern with using hydrogen fuel cells.

He escaped a very serious bogie and lives to race again. The photos reveal just how lucky they are to escape a serious tragedy. I'm glad he escaped relatively well with the jangling his nerves. Aircraft can be be replaced or repaired. We humans don't have that luxury. Afterall, we are pretty fragile compared to the forces in aviation.

This will be a real bonus for Airbus with finished beautiful new airliners ready to be accepted by their new owners. Seeing Airbus 220s in North Americazn skies Will be a certain boon for Airbus. Less noise, less pollution better product.

Protectors with nothing better to do with their time could be recruited for a civil service picking up litter in one of the world's most filthy cities. It has one of the most polluted harbours on the planet. It starts with feces and goes downhill rapidly. It looks great a night but the day will change your impression...ugh.

Southwest would be doing themselves a favour if they took at the A220-300. For all the reasons the other carriers have selected them for range fuel but they have not shown any interest in this Airbus/Bombardier aircraft as of yet. Perhaps a performance spread sheet would change their perspective about this aircraft. Performance is one key but the other one is service. Without either you are dead in the water

The YUL to SEA is a game changer. You no longer have to connect in YVR for the hop to SEA. Airlines with these new airlines will be finanancially successful in Europe given the results of AIR BALTIC and SWISS. Other major European carriers are cashing in on the benefits of the A-220-300. Saving 20% to 25% is a lot of money when you consider the fuel burns of the third and fourth generation of aircraft. The fifth can't be touched yet as some are still having technical problems.

This would be an ideal replacement for the Boeing MAX given all of its advantages. The main one they should be the low fuel burn, 20% to 25% reduction, low carbon footprint and a quiet cabin that leaves you refreshed not sucked out. Although smaller than the Boeing the low fuel burn with lower prices Will fill those seats.
