I deleted about 20 posts that were nowhere close to the topic of this accident. Let's try to keep the discussion focused on the actual crash.

it crashed into a heavily populated residential area, which means there are going to be casualties on the ground also. Boeing shares are already down 8% in premarket trading, which is to be expected after a major crash. I agree it looks like the flaps are up, but I don't know the 787 very well. Not ...

I deleted some sweary posts. Let's try to keep this remotely professional, or maybe at least civil.

"I don't care if you shi*y admin ban me, if you allow this f moron clown to write the way he do, f you too...Social media made y'all way too comfortable with disrespecting people and not getting punched in the face for it." That's what aviran said in a post that I deleted. That poster can go truck t...

I flew the MU-2 for Thunder a little over 20 years ago. People either loved the MU-2 or hated it, and I loved it. Such a great and terrifying plane.

Thunder was hard work and long hours but the company did their best to play by the rules, such as they were in 2004.

Let's try to keep this on topic, mmmkay.

There are other threads for other topics, this one is about the RJ landing accident at YYZ. The actual accident.

Send your resumes out now.

Burlington Airpark isn't super close, but it's a nice little airport. It's about 45 minutes by car from Canada's Wonderland if you take toll highway 407. Lake Simcoe Regional (Barrie) is also a decent small airport that would be maybe half an hour to Canada's Wonderland assuming traffic isn't terrib...

Interesting argument made by Boeing. They appear to say that they don't have the money to administrate DEI programs and that they'd rather trust their hiring managers to be completely oblivious to sex and ethnicity when making hiring decisions. Honestly, that would be great if it happened. In a perf...

I'm gonna say this once. Sexist or racist content will be removed and the poster will be dealt with accordingly. I'm pretty sick of the presumption and negativity and I can hear the dogwhistles too. I've already given out vacations (plural) and I'd really rather not do that, it's not a particularly...

I removed a bunch of offtopic posts that seem like an incipient furball and have nothing to do with the topic at hand. It appears that the schedule of the Mars is kept under wraps in order to keep the amount of boat traffic down when it does in fact depart. If anyone has that info and feels like sha...

Most obvious DEI crash in quite some time. Liberals be like sometimes accidents just happen. //takes mod hat off for a moment. Not the smartest take I've seen on this. By "DEI" you mean the dogwhistle that because a woman was one of the crewmembers on board the helicopter, without some special poli...

Trump: Secure the border or tariffs! Also Trump: Wouldn't it be nice if we didn't have a border between us? For context, according to US Customs and Border Protection statistics, 43 pounds of fentanyl were seized at the northern border last year, compared with more than 21,000 pounds captured at the...

They were down to 1 controller that night. Most unfortunate.

It appears to me that the tariffs were going to happen no matter what. Trump made that pretty clear. He made no attempt to negotiate or acknowledge the Canadian government's immediate beefing up of border security. I wonder if it is a negotiating ploy for a quick boost in popularity - maybe in a few...

I deleted some off-topic posts. All three of the helicopter crew have been officially identified. This thread is about the accident, so let's try to keep it on topic.

Sexism has no place here. A person's sex has nothing to do with how they can fly an aircraft.

I'm watching this thread closely. Jackass posts will be met with an appropriate response.

Now let's try to keep this on topic.

Hi Matt (and James), I just wanted to say thank you for posting here and being so transparent. It's a refreshing change from most employers who are pretty mercurial about their company culture. I know it's a lot of work and also I know that some posters here can be a little rough around the edges, b...

I've been in management for the majority of my career. I enjoy knowing what's on the other side of the curtain, it takes lots of the mystery and fear away. And I'm probably a bit of a control freak, so there's that. It can be demanding and you can get pulled in a lot of different directions at once,...

Happy Thursday! I deleted a bunch of offtopic crap. I should have probably deleted the boomer house prices stuff too but it's actually a lot of work to delete stuff on these forums, I have to delete each post individually and it takes a few clicks for each post.

Let's try to keep it on topic!

Wow. Not even sure where to start, but I know how to end this. Ludivicchua, you have made it clear you won't miss this website, and I think the feeling is pretty mutual. Bye. I think we can all agree that AME's need more respect and money, so there's that. Also, for real you should probably talk to ...

I removed a whole whack of off-topic posts. Let's try to keep it on topic, mmmkay.

I think this thread has run the full course. Locked.
