A not so new Alberta Airline
Seems there's been a stealth airline operating from YXD with a fleet of one 36-seat DASH8 and three 9-person King Airs. Route system is quite diverse, and no annoying security checks. Flights will even make enroute stops, if asked for and your golf clubs or fishing rod have been stowed in the hold. And oh yes, all seats are smoking seats. This airline has also been known to fly a shuttle service between YXD and YEG. It loses $4.3 million a year and you have to be a SuperDuperElite to fly on it. No upgrades, but then every seat is ExecFirst. BTW, shareholders of this carrier include PunishedEdmontonian, Altaflyer, FewMiles, BlondeBomber, Cattle and a few other miscreant FTers. We're told it's known as RALPHAIR, and that's not because of the heavy turbulence it often flies through... Welcome to Saudi Alberta!
