Oh boy, you two are out of touch with reality. Let's chat in 20 years. Actually I'm just quoting NASA PhD's. Perhaps you're more knowledgeable than them, but I kinda doubt that. "Let's chat in 20 years" is a lame cop-out, trying to sound wise predicting that things will be different somet...

Hi Rockie, actually they do keep stats on this! :D And you are correct. Most accidents have the pilot as a contributing factor. Pilots are the weakest link. They fail on a rate at least equal to any other component. Either they fail to respond appropriately to a situation, make decisions that get th...

Not exactly the greatest day for Pratt & Whitney.

What's coming? A plane that can be flown remotely?

Pretty sure that's already been done for some time now.

Not just with one pilot, but with NO pilots on board.

Can you IMAGINE?!

Wouldn't say it's my favourite, but try "Tmavomodrý svět" (Dark Blue World).

A better version of "Pearl Harbor". Czech fighter pilots who formed their own squadron within the RAF after Czechoslovakia was betrayed by the Munich Accord in 1938.

Another media induced panic that has been resolved. Cost boeing billions, and the lawyers got rich. Except for a minor technical software correction, there was no real problem with the airplane in the first place. What a world, one guy screws up a procedure, big company loses billions, and the bott...

I really don't care. :roll: Nor should you, because you are 100%...correct. Canada is irrelevant in financial terms compared to the US. Actually, in a whole lot of ways, really. Doesn't mean Canada is a bad place or anything. Just relatively small in economic, demographic, or military terms. It use...

What does that make the economy of South Korea, Sweden, Switzerland, Australia, Russia, or any of the developed nations that aren’t in the top 10 like Canada is? You lose a lot of credibility with such insular thinking that is debunked by the most cursory of checks. I really don't care. :roll: Nor ...

lol This thread is so Canadian it makes my teeth hurt. Try living somewhere outside Canada for awhile where your apologetic white ass is very much a minority. Say, the Far or Middle East. South Asia. And you'll very quickly realize comments that trigger earnest pearl-clutching in Canada are NOTHING ...

He gets it, he just doesn't give a shit. It's easy in a time like this to see who actually GAS about neighbors, and who lives in the 'its all about me, screw the rest of you' kind of world. Which is also why Asian cultures, which tend to value the community over the individual, have absolutely made...

I dont look at anti maskers and the maskers for you to that you follow. I look at science and read what doctors say from everywhere Do you know slaves wore masks? What happened to visors being worn? Takes the vaccines that are coming out and be safe, do not research what they do Only problem they w...

B777F is a fun, fun aircraft to fly. GE90's with 110,000lb of thrust a side made going empty from DXB to HKG a lot of fun on takeoff.

If I had a dime for every wishful fleet rumour ever spread for some Canadian carrier or another...

If the price of a pilot medical isn’t in the basket of products used to calculate an inflation rate, then increasing the price of a medical has no effect on inflation; it cannot therefore play any part in controlling inflation. You're confusing measuring inflation with actual inflationary causes. I...

Inflation, like all economics, is highly subjective - definitely not science. The concept of "substitution" used in calculating the CPI is a prime example. I actually don't have a problem with price increases in line with inflation. Agree with ahramin that it's silly to get upset about. Th...

Why would I edit it Fanblade? I meant every word. I didn’t win, you made us all lose and after over eight years it’s about time you stopped blaming other people for your miserable life just because they could see what was obvious and you couldn’t. Read my post every day because I mean it every day,...

A month later and the thread still limping along in slow, torturous pointlessness.

Kind of mirrors AvCanada and the world at large. With tsgarp as the poster child.

I am hysterical about what the politicians will do(and are doing to be honest). I believe I read about another 37 billion Justin dollars announced today. It happens so often, I don't even read the details anymore of what it is for despite exceeding, or close to exceeding last years deficit. Umm...&...

I would suggest training in an EASA certified program - perhaps even in the US. You will get an EASA CPL, plus a FAA CPL all in one go... then you take the FAA CPL and convert is easily to the Canadian CPL - ratings and all... very easy... Good luck, Red If you do think you'll need the EASA, this i...

Single pilot on a modern heavy jet sure, it's actually less workload than flying a Navajo SPIFR. I've never flown a Navajo SPIFR but I have flown fast jets including really old ones with scattershot instrument panels, black ball attitude indicators, antiquated navigation radios and of course no aut...

Most of the covid deaths were due to die in the next 5 years anyway. So they don't count as Covid deaths...or matter? It counts as covid deaths but for the most part they were going to die in the next few years from something else anyway so why ruin an economy over it Wow. You haven't really though...
