I found this Youtube channel looking for Microsoft Flight Sim videos. She's a recently laid-off Westjet Dash 8 pilot. Her latest video shows a flight from Springbank over the Rockies and the city.

To show how severely the aviation industry has been affected by Covid her last 'airline' video started with upgrading to captain and ended with her being layed off. In a seniority driven industry you generally would be in the top half of the pilot pool if you are a captain. Speculation on my part but this indicates Encore would have layed off roughly half of their pilots at a minimum.

Thanks for sharing this. I grew up in Springbank and used to take girls to the airport parking lot. I forgot about that until I saw this.

Yeah I know Emilie, this is approximately the case. I'd recommend watching her other videos as well because they're very informative. Glad she's making more YouTube videos now.

Imagine if a Canadian company like Bombardier cut corners to catch up with the industry. America would destroy it and hold it up as the gold standard as to why you buy American for decades to come, just like Mad Cow disease and the Canadian Oil industry. But instead they'll bide their time, get their higher stock and continue to be the leader.

Cool to see they went over downtown Calgary. My last flight out of Springbank on a Mooney M20j, we went to high river, were to come back west of Calgary, but got clearance for right over. That was an incredible experience.
It doesn't matter how many feet you are above downtown, it feels like you're just razing the Bow/brookfield/telus sky towers. Such an incredible experience.

Oh cool! I've actually been watching her vids for a few weeks now. Great channel
Dornier Alpha jets were taking off at YYC yesterday afternoon. Presumably from Top Aces who contract out to the Canadian Airforce for as agressors for training our F18 pilots. They were loud AF briefly on takeoff, they would also fit the profile of what was seen last weekend.
What’s the deal with the twin engine plane that’s been circling over the city (for me the west end) for the last two hours? It’s low and keeps coming around.
My only guess is YYC city photographs with the nice day and fall colours?

Likely NAV Canada inspection aircraft (assuming it was a twin engine jet?) doing Nav Aid/Approach checks at YYC (and quite likely YBW).
Flight Radar 24 showed an American registered Piper circling downtown. Fairly certain it's not a NAV Canada plane doing a flight inspection... If it's in fact the same plane
