Oh ok. That's a very pessimistic attitude. So is getting anoth 30 some odd 737s a bad idea too? Maybe you should be on the board. At one point in time, an idea of a LCC was probably a bad idea too. An LCC is a great idea for quite a few until the next LCC is below your current pay grade. Where does...

Ahhh words of pure jealousy. I feel sorry for ya.

Jealous? Absolutely not. Good Luck though, the race to the bottom picks up speed faster than you can imagine

Yeah realized that after the fact. Anyhoo, still no credibility. No internal memo was sent out. Lets wait and see what the real story is. Probably wont have to wait too long. Nice Try Ziggster! You heartfelt apology accepted! I was actually sitting a table at a bar in an unspecified layover locatio...

internal memo out a few hrs ago

just heard the rumor how's the cool aid?

good luck

I'm sure Razor Ray has a Forum you can go to! http://en.wikiquote.org/wiki/Douglas_MacArthur I said, to the people ... whence I came, I shall return. Tonight, I repeat those words: I shall return! Correct me if I'm wrong Ray but did MacArthur not get old and a bit loopy? He wanted to Nuke China and...

Right Wicket, but now we are denied membership (by +< 2 year members) in a club that we were in for 30+ years. Talk about eating your young. But then we all raised teenagers, right? Go figure. I guess the young decided not to be dinner anymore. It's a Forum not a club. It's the Air Canada Private P...

I guess this goes to show: "You get what you pay for!"

"If it sounds too good to be true it probably is!"

I just recently started working on the ramp with AC and am confused about something. This morning it was beautiful, about 3 degrees not a cloud in the sky. I'm talking perfectly clear. There was no frost or moisture on the ground. And yet, when a 320 was leaving it got the e spray. I'm wondering wh...

Use Captain Rick Allen, Senior Director - Flight Operations. After the J-Class Incident, I don't think so! Last time around it was Jennifer Johnston. Who's her replacement? What does that have to do with the price of tea in China? Rick Allen will have the final say on hiring now that Bob Clarke has...

I've been out of professional aviation for a long, long time, but I'm curious about the requirements to become a Transport Canada Civil Aviation Inspector (specifically with respect to air accident investigation). What kind of experience and skills is TC looking for? What does the job entail (prima...

Trying to find out who to fire off a letter of reference for a friend. Any Info?

Don't forget though it's against my human rights not to have summer vacation and weekends off. Time to hit the CHRT and demand that we have rotating seniority. That way I can be at home for Christmas while "V" and "K" are doing walkarounds in CYYT under the watchful eye of Herr Young Captain form th...

Iwannasoar: And honestly - I've only twice personally in a 10 year+ career had to pull the conflict resolution policy card on a captain - and again it was the captain's desire to take less than minimum fuel that resulted in that (and both times were the same individual - he had a well earned reputa...

However, I need to clarify something else. "Until the Captain "Pilot in Command" calls up and sets them straight, for which they have no choice (legally) and must abide by their wishes." . A lot of guys believe this "I'm the Captain - you must do as I say!" Nope. Co-authority is just that. Both sig...

Hey look! Capt SM just threw another log on the fire! http://www.kamloopsnews.ca/article/20100703/KAMLOOPS0101/307039992/-1/kamloops/-action-promised-on-airport-security-incident I'm a little concerned why anybody would get off of an aircraft when someone in a white shirt told them to. How about wh...

Just wondering, but is that animal in your avatar a mule? Looks more like a jackass to me.

Actually is a life like rendition of RM.

Some Status! I guess when you guys figured you'd be flying Smash 8's forever it sounded like a great idea. Good luck with it though.

Everyone in these companies were once AC employees, and after the vultures got done, the employees left over want to toss out the scraps, very selfish. What would you ACPA pilots say if what's left of AC was divided into domestic and international as two seperate companies? Then in a surprise move(...

The bullshit is there but once you get L1 closed and the park brake is released it's a great job. My second career and hopefully my last!

I usually clean out the toiletries from the hotel. My mom has a friend that works at a woman's shelter and they are in desperate need of these products. I bring/use my own stuff and give the hotel stuff away. It's something that is paid for and included in the price of the room but it does make a bi...

Flying along the east coast of Florida years ago heard the callsign "Gunfighter 23". Pretty Clear what he does for a living!

i have some ideas for aircanada to save costs. i was amazed how much time/fuel they wasted on a short hop from Toronto-Ottawa, then on my return trip back to yyz. 1) what the heck is the point of stuffing the plane w/ pop,beer,liquor, food for a 45 min flight to ottawa (cyow) from YYZ, i mean for a...
