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...

Re: How long until layoffs due to Tariffs?

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". This is directly from the Criminal Code: High 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. Embraer posted a video boosting P...

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...

It took me 30 seconds to find out that this was a widespread problem and the WestJet flight wasn't the only one affected.

Think about that with your vote people. Nobody's going to go bankrupt here by paying the same wages as Ethiopian Air. (Yes, we're told that industry wage parity with a third world country is too much to ask.... ) I think this TA is garbage and should be voted down, but don't just make shit up to tr...

Re: Challenger 600 crashes on Florida highway
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...

There is nothing wrong with that at all. You seem to be saying that others want to come back to Canada and earn more than Canadians...

Oh no I'm more than happy to proceed. However I do doubt your commitment to your word.

This sadly would produce a ne...
