Capt loves his job. You can tell. Nothing better in the world than doing what you love and loving it.

Very true Greg

True that!

Captain comes across as having a ton of respect for the FO. Great crew and such high professionalism despite a short flight.

It's good too see (CRM)at work a long time ago your captain could make you feel like shut up and say nothing thank god that culture is hopefully gone

[@billywhizz6483]

That seems like a very calm and respectful flight crew, a great working environment!

Yes totally right.

[@rogermorris8580]

That flight was like a Zen meditation! Due in part to the calm, affable and professional Captain and FO. As an Australian, I love this part of the world to visit!

Glad you enjoyed the video and crew. Thanks Roger

Thank you for the memories....I retired from Jazz in 2010, as a flight attendant, based at YYJ, then to YVR. How true all the flight crews were/are professional, and I was proud to work with them. I do miss it all, (some bits one can forget ), I never tired of that short trip, sometimes five return flights in a shift. Thank you again.

Brilliant stuff. Captain comes across as one cool guy. I have to get over to Canada it looks beautiful.

You should!

[@57Jimmy]

Love it!! Back in the mid-70s I flew YVR-YYJ on a Piggly-Wiggly/Pray-While-Aloft (Pacific Western Airlines) B737-200. The Captain came on and announced that “we will climb to our enroute altitude of 25000 feet...” I thought...Huh? HOLY CRAP he wasn’t kidding! Climbing out of YVR was slam back in your seat and hang on! Reach 250...almost a negative G over the top for descent!...and it was a LONG DESCENT! What a RUSH for a teenager!🚀

[@justplanes]

That sounds very very cool!

[@shannonparker7404]

Love this. Can't explain why but the Dash 8 is one of my favourite aircraft. Like the utility truck of the sky.

[@2flyabove]

Love it! These short hop flights to Vancouver Island are a blast!

Nice, used to do this run in the 90's with the Fedex Caravan. Really enjoyed the short hops.:)

Rudy that is Mt Baker just before take off about 100 miles to the east, I suspect that it was filmed around 10 years ago. FYI CYCD to CYVR is the shortest flight Jazz does on the West Coast at just under 10 mins if ATC gives a direct route.

I remember a Doug Catterall who did my instrument ride out of YWG when he was at TC. He was one of the youngest TC inspectors I have ever met...and I still remember an analogy he offered up... "you can live life having all your meals delivered under the bathroom door...." I had never heard such a comment before and it stuck with me. Lucky F/O who gets to fly with Captain Catterall!

That’s very cool. Small world 🙏👍

[@pjperdue1293]

Such gorgeous scenery.

[@viscount757]

Would be helpful if you could include the date of the flights in your video descriptions. When were these flights? I expect it's some time ago as they refer to the Dash 8-100 which Jazz retired some time ago, and recently announced that their Dash 8-300s are also being retired soon, leaving only the Q400s.

[@dabflies]

I would guess this is 5-10 years ago. Pre-iPad days for approach charts. You are correct the 100 was retired in April 2020.

[@OptimusSubPr1me]

This flight most likely occurred way long ago, probably years. Flightaware doesn't show a JZA161 flight in the last 5 months, and it wasn't this route. This route is now occupied by JZA8069 and others

How about a video on the flight to downtown Victoria on one of the floatplanes. I enjoyed that very much, super weather, sitting in front with the pilot, at a nice, low flight altitude. Beats the Dash flights into Sydney!

[@Rindiculousfun]

It's cool as a Victorian pilot to watch a KZbin video that features one of our controllers in the tower that we hear every work day. Just yesterday was on a flight with a student, same controller in the tower as you hear on the radio here working both outer and inner tower, and he was dealing with an exceptionally crazy amount of traffic. Had 4 VFR guys circling over Brentwood, Deep Cove, Swartz Bay, and Cowichan all while dealing with 3 IFR departures and 3 IFR arrivals at the same time. Was listening to see if I could hear any other people I recognize from around here, but seemed like it was a relatively non busy time that day and it was probably recorded so long ago that most people who were there then are no longer working here today.

[@willmears1111]

YVR to YYJ is a very short flight over the islands.

Would a 737 be the largest aircraft flying such a short distance? Cruising altitude? Pretty much the same amount of time compared with taking the ferry when you factor in the check in time and security screening at the airport.
