Ahh that's cool, what part did you grow up in? Yeah so we do have an airport, it's fairly small and handles only 2 daily flights by AC Jazz and can only take a Dash-8 200 and 300 for now. They're expecting to lengthen the runway eventually to possibly accomodate a 400... didn't think Jazz had 400's but maybe their just looking at options... Surprising that they need such a longer rnway since it only appears to use like half of it :)

@nanaimoclipper

Hi,

I think these are employees of the airport itself because when they advertise for the ground handlers it's from the airport authority and not AC Jazz I beleive...
