Yup, the MAX opens up all sorts of possibilities from YYC. I'd love to see PTY (Panama City) from here. Maybe WestJet gives it a shot as a winter seasonal?

A normal -800 could do it, but bags would be restricted. One day the 767 broke and we sent two from Edmonton to Maui. One was unrestricted. Eastbound with the wind is a cakewalk.

Airport CEO Bob Sartor doing the yearly presentation to City Council, love this stat:
As for aircraft noise, Sartor says the same two people (calling on avg four times a day) make up 48% of all noise complaints.
Reported by Scott Dippel with the CBC.

Whats the current parking situation at YYC? Is there any chance of getting a spot in the economy lot on Friday?

Gotta wonder how many screws are loose in those heads. What would they like to do as an alternative? Move the airport?
Can we bring some of the really noisy planes of years past out of retirement just to buzz their houses?

My mother used to live up in Vista Heights under the flight path of one of the runways. I'd go up and visit her, and she'd complain about the air noise. I could barely hear it (granted, lots of concerts and bars back in the day), but it would drive her insane. We'd be having a chat, and she'd suddenly zone out and start bitching about the incoming plane, long before I'd hear it. I guess people hear noise differently. When I lived downtown, I simply accepted the road noise outside my bedroom window. Only thing I could do about it is move, so I chose not to be bothered by it, because I loved the location. Tune it out, yo!

Even if it does bother you that much, what use is it calling to complain about the noise almost 1500 times per year. That's some kinda crazy.

727's should do the trick

Setting precedent for a lawsuit in case something happens to their hearing in the future...
Or to eventually get some sort of compensation would be my guess.

Our plane from Vancouver last week arrived at the new terminal, holy crap that's a long walk to get to domestic baggage. I kept thinking as we walked and walked and walked that we'd missed a turn somewhere. Our luggage was already on the carousel when we arrived, so I guess that was a win?

Considering it's a domestic flight, the issue is that you arrived in the international terminal.

I know - I have no idea why we arrived there.
Wait, I just checked the map - we arrived at C73 (or 72) - is that in the new terminal or is that the old one? None of the area was familiar to me, it seemed quite new, but I'm wondering if I was just in an area of the old terminal that I'd never been in before. Nonethless, it was quite the hike.

That's part of the new terminal, but gates that function both as domestic and international.

It is the way the airport authority set it up, and yes it is problematic.
Imagine if you had a tight connection to make....

Maybe Calgary took a page from Houston on improving customer satisfaction.

They found that it took passengers a minute to walk from their arrival gates to baggage claim and seven more minutes to get their bags. Roughly 88 percent of their time, in other words, was spent standing around waiting for their bags.
So the airport decided on a new approach: instead of reducing wait times, it moved the arrival gates away from the main terminal and routed bags to the outermost carousel. Passengers now had to walk six times longer to get their bags. Complaints dropped to near zero.

On our return we gated at D73 (I think) and there was a single AC A319 pushing off the C side, and we had to wait for this to finish before we could get in. Seems pretty inefficient when the only two aircraft in the whole area cannot simultaneously move.

I thought that central de icing would be the preferred method until I flew out of an airport that had such a facility this winter. Central de-icing wasn't any quicker or efficient. It actually seemed to take longer because there was more stopping and waiting. We were pushed back from the gate but had to wait on the pad for quite a while. Then we started to taxi towards the facility but we had to hold twice to allow other aircrafts to proceed. Finally at the de-icing facility we seemed to have a lower proirity in a smaller aircraft as larger planes proceeded before us. Maybe that was just a uniquely bad experience but it seemed to take forever and the system in Calgary seemed better.
