Re: How long until layoffs due to Tariffs?

Trudeau’s Canada? He needs 10 bodyguards just to cross the road… I could go on with a grocery list of other things, but that right there should be more then enough evidence of how fractured he’s made our country. In the same way if you’re an American who voted for trump, f*ck you if you voted for T...

As far as Rolex man and the LPC, this definition applies in spades Definitions have commonly agreed-upon definitions, and yours doesn't match any definition of "treason".

Re: It's Time

It was fun to watch you dance around the notion that operating an aircraft that, by almost every known metric, has significantly higher operating costs (on the order of 25-45%), but 57 more seats (all filled with happy low-yield pax), is a better ploy than PD’s E2.

Re: Air Sprint Questions

10 hours from “block on” +15 minutes or “check out” (whichever is later) to “check in” at the FBO/airport. :shock: Ten hours in a hotel isn't much time to rest, but ten hours from check-out to report is absurd. If the drive takes half an hour each way, that's only nine hours in the room to get eigh...

The BA38 accident wasn't a complete shutdown, and the engines didn't roll back at precisely the same moment. From the AAIB: The engines initially responded but, at a height of about 720 ft, 57 seconds before touchdown, the thrust of the right engine reduced. Some seven seconds later, the thrust redu...
