Re: How much convincing do you need???

People have stopped taking boosters for the most part. Only -20% of Canadians have had one in the past 6 months. It’s right off the health Canada website if you need proof. Yup. Got the first two shots, then stopped caring. I can think Jerry is batshit, and be too damn lazy and not care enough to e...

Re: How much convincing do you need???

Let’s dig down a little bit… Myocarditis has been a known possible side effect with vaccinations for many decades, for example: smallpox vaccination. Personally I’d prefer treatable myocarditis than smallpox, just my personal preference I guess… The current observable rate of myocarditis in covid va...

Re: 3 in a month

It's amazing to me the cultural differences between Canada and the US on this and most topics. The pilots I fly with don't care one way or another about your personal decisions regarding medical procedures, masking or basically anything else you do in your life. It's a very much, you do you, I'll d...

Re: Flair Pilots

Lots of gloom being sent from non-flair pilots. I'm very curious on what the internal consensus is with the entire situation. Has there been any communication from executives to any staff? To expect a media response re: why a “big airline that feels threatened” took the “drastic” measure to facilit...

Re: Vaccinated pilots = dangerous

When will the general public start questioning the safety of having vaccinated pilots at the controls! I’ve been saying this from the beginning and I got banned for it. Part of the problem has been right here in this forum. Too many turned it into a religion. https://rumble.com/v1pe3kt-dr.-peter-mc...

Policies are now being released for hospitals and they are not implementing any sort of ban. It's simply "do it on your own time, off the property, be fit for work and there's no problems".
