Regulation to replace POC explained on Canada Gazette, part I
Canada Gazette
Transport Canada has released the long-awaited regulation to replace the Private Operator Certificate (POC) program, formerly managed by the Canadian Business Aviation Association. The primary change is that a certificate is no longer required, but those who are captured by the new regulation are required to register.
Upon completion of the Gazette comment period, the regulation will apply to the following aircraft engaged in passenger carrying or cargo operations:
(a) a large aeroplane;
(b) a turbo-jet-powered aeroplane; or
(c) a turbine-powered pressurized aeroplane certificated for more than six passenger seats.
An explanation and the complete text of the regulations affected by the change can be found here, including where to send any comments you may have.
In the Canada Gazette background statement, it is mentioned that this regulation was not consulted in an open manner by Transport Canada and they chose not to consult with COPA.

Cessna CEO: Skycatcher has 'no future'
By Adam Hunt
I don't think this will surprise anyone: Cessna 162 production is about to be ended. Recently, at the National Business Aviation Association convention, Cessna CEO Scott Ernest stated that the Skycatcher had "no future." While the design of the Cessna 162 did have some pluses — like the control stick, fit and finish and the doors — there were many problems with the design. In the final assessment, it looks like even the famous Cessna name wasn't enough to overcome the shortcomings of this design and its price. The market has decided its fate.

Angel Flight West gives pilots a great reason to fly
Yakima Herald-Republic
Bill Almon and Jason Simpson don't think they're doing anything selfless, using their own money and time to fly very sick people to get treatment.
Pilots, as a rule, are always looking for reasons to fly, they say. Plus, helping someone who can't afford commercial air travel — or who can't travel with large groups because of a compromised immune system — as both do through the nonprofit Angel Flight West organization, feels good.
