Re: 150 Pilots forced move out of YYZ

The idiots who agreed to a full reduction bid without seeing 1 winter's worth of flying fully integrated first are gonna look real smart to...

Re: Planned hiring 2025

I haven’t heard any 400 new hire talk Apparently that's what was told to current transition class. Correct, I am in that class and heard it. AVH and DP also came for a visit on day 3 and AVH joked that it looked like we'd be receiving a new jet every 2 weeks in fall 2026, making DP a little nervous.

Re: Trump threatens immediate 25% tariffs on Canada

The Laffer curve: Low taxes = high productivity

Canada has a low (and declining) productivity problem... Maybe it's because of our high taxes.

US has a spending problem. Corruption, Nation building, unfettered immigration, etc
