Very interesting . Thank you for sharing. Made a variety of very good points

I recently read in a "western propaganda" news article that Afghanistan is among the most corrupt countries in the world.

Strange.

Six months later, some light shed: http://ca.news.yahoo.com/correcting-fairy-tale-seal-account-osama-bin-laden-054233289.html Never believe the government. But in another recent thread (since removed) , you condemned us for believing the media / western oriented reports. Now you are referencing an ...

I am getting pretty discouraged by the number of times I have seen training aircraft with instructors onboard who allow the student to manoever the aircraft without considering where the prop wash is going. The latest and most egregious example was a few days ago. I was teaching a lesson on a Nanch...

We're doing our yearly risk management review at our company. We go through almost every incident report back as far as 20 years over a 3 week period. Some of these reports are fictitious in that they extrapolate to the worst case scenario to exemplify the need for diligence on everyone's part to p...

What's the big deal? Navajo drivers have been doing that for ages. Of course these guys knew in advance, our Navajo folks just "wing" it..... True, no big deal landing a 767 with the gear up. Common procedure for most of us. You have to remember there is a check list for this -- while hands and fee...

Rocket science not required. Pull your heads out of your asses. Maintain a positive rate of climb after takeoff and on missed approaches. Pretty easy. Don't .. run. Learn to do a 180 degree turn. Right fucken NOW. Don't "push" duty, weights, fatigue, weather. Don't let anybody else "push" you eithe...

Do most of you really think that calling a 180 a luxurious aircraft and posting it's gliding speed was not done tongue in cheek? Again, that's exactly what I suspected when I posted this. I still don't see anything to get angry about. Some of the reactions have taken me by surprise. Some people hav...

Q400 left side only

When was the last time anyone was prosecuted for treason or sedition?! Wouldn't the entire Bloc Quebecois be guilty of that, if they weren't all at home collecting federal pensions now? Louis Riel I believe. After Confederation, a revision of the statutes reduced the number of offences to only thre...

Title is self explanatory. Given the amount of eyes which glance this forum, I think there will be some entertaining stories. This hopefully will teach others a good lesson on what "not" to do as their careers progress. Not limited to Capt / FO relations although it would be preferred. Maybe you wer...

Now who would have thought! From "Apple Stores" to .....Jerseys !

What type of penalties would you impose? Maybe Canada should be the first to sanction China as well ?

Okay, so let's say that Air Canada's motives were simply due to the native population / trend of crime, ok..... so what's the point? Are they afraid they will have nobody else to rob? Are they truly concerned about human rights? (referring to Chiefs) . Did they make these claims in person or via sat...

Well, they shouldn't be on Canada's "protected" list. Screw 'em.

They will not be on the US' safe list for much longer
