Re: New pot legislatiion brings on talk of pilot pee in a cup

I think we often forget flying is a privilege. If I have to pee in a cup, then so be it. So is driving. Would you support random drug testing on the highway? They already do it for alcohol and they're working to get a reliable, portable test for pot as we speak. https://www.danmanning.ca/wp-content...

Your being modest. I thought it was going to be a thread about “hand jobs”.

Shame really...

Re: Pilot shortage “slowing down “

Don’t kid yourself a lot of 703 operations would rather close up shop than give you what your worth. From a business point of view that does not make any sense. Maybe they just can not afford to pay more? C'mon now .. Everyone knows (or at least many pilots seem to think) that small aviation operat...

Re: BC minimum wage to reach $15.20, meaning that BC flight instructors will soon make less than a minimum wage employee

If an instructor is only getting 800 to 1000 hrs per yr perhaps they should look at working at a busier school. Or a school that doesn't overhire number of instructors.

Of course there is no guaranteed hours due weather and whatnot, but that's fairly low yearly numbers.
