We train to be professional pilots yet some of us get it wrong and wind up causing fatal accidents. Just because they have the title Dr. doesn't mean that they're God and get correct.

Fauci did not play a part in Canada's recommendations, nor did he play a part in my doctor's recommendations.

Re: Back at the taxpayer trough....

Its 2026. What happened at AC 15+ years ago is ancient history. The only airlines at the trough are Transat, Porter and soon enough, Flair. The other two have publicly said they have no need or interest in the handout. That these three are at the trough should surprise no one. That they are in need...

Re: Wearing sunscreen

Wear a long sleeve shirt and keep put the shade up if there's direct sunlight. The cockpit windows block most UV light, so you should be fine. I wouldn't listen to a guy advocating for long sleeves. Tells you everything you need to know. "block most UV" So you won't get a sunburn, just skin cancer....

Re: Air Canada: the numbers came back, but did the company?

Comparing the pre-Covid 2019 boom to the ElbowsUp era is not apples to apples.

Costs are way up but people are not spending as much, so it makes sense that the profit is down.

Add that The best part about this is that: At $80k: Every extra $1 earned might cost about 28-31 cents in tax. At $350k: Every extra $1 earned might cost about 53-54 cents in tax So most of the large increase didn't even go to the Senior pilot, it went to the government. I can't believe with all tha...

Re: Air Canada breaks negotiated 50 aircraft Rouge cap

Is this a flight attendant forum? There's no 50 fin cap as far as pilots are concerned. There's a ratio to mainline narrow bodies and it would be north of 100 aircraft. It's the same job and pay at this point from the pilot perspective. There's nothing new here either, fleet plans have showed 52 73...

I have heard of several different timelines for the interview to medical to job offer wait times.

To those who have recently been hired (or rejected), what was the wait time between the different stages of your hiring process?

A lot of FAs are wonderful people to work with though. The vast majority of them actually. CUPE may have flaws but they stood up to Section 107 after our union was too chicken to do it.
