Yup hand washing.

Oh and Zwift. Every day. Yesterday there was over 8200 people on there with me.

So far a mixture of Xbox, booze, facebook, wine, the covid channel on tv, avcanada, sleeping in, and staying up late. Zero productivity at all.

I read you 5x5

I wonder where we’d be looking these days... I heard Costco is hiring. Real funny.... You do realize many of us have been there for well over 20 years and are also close to retirement but not quite ready to pull the plug? Our #1 is a founding member (1987) who still has 5 years of flying ahead of h...

Off the side, barely outside the lights, couldn’t have been going very fast. “Crash” is a big overstatement. They towed it out of the snowbank once they had a towbar I’ve been told. Runway was closed for 3 hrs. Passenger released from hospital a couple hrs later, got a few stitches I heard. Crash i...

I'm curious if most laid of Air Transat are actively trying to pursue new jobs...

In all seriousness, I don't think there are any changes to the CAP GEN this time around. We get it through content locker so when it updates, the old one is automatically deleted, so I can't compare them side by side. Typically the line in the margin next to the change tells you something is differe...

I'm sure she's older and wiser, and learned from the mistake she made getting messed up with me. Why?

I was hoping Henri had a TV show, but this is cool as well.

Brake lights and turn signals should be required on all aircraft. Throw in a horn too for good measure.

Seems like everything ended up as it should, both aircraft stopped in time.

And "How's my flying dial 1800-EAT-$HIT" and "Dog is my Co-Pilot" bumper stickers

A big +1 from me

Shit, now I have that song in my head.

I'm surprised they didn’t keep their domestic machines running.

We're literally sacrificing the good of the many for the needs of the few. Shitty catch 22 to be in. It's not shitty at all. It's basic ethics. I'll happily sacrifice your money so my relatives don't die. Not a difficult choice in any sense. In fact, without a second thought, I will sacrifice my mo...

Hotmail is hit and miss with AC. I got an interview invite last time that said something to the effect of "you haven't replied to the last 2 emails, if you don't reply by this date we will consider you not interested". I know I didn't receive those 2 mails. I'd been job hunting all year and checking...

The bad news from our Industry is coming faster than I can type it.

https://simpleflying.com/

This is an Aviation News website - makes for depressing reading.

It's not all bad news. Ed Force One is still flying, that's pretty cool. Albeit in another livery.

What bothers me is that the of 2 curves we keep seeing, the first one more people die, but it's over quickly. The second one, the health care system has time to cope but it drags on 3 times as long. We're literally sacrificing the good of the many for the needs of the few. Shitty catch 22 to be in.

I had a student wreck the nose gear of a 172. First solo too. Bounced, panicked, porpoised, Basically "Encored" onto the runway.

At least she didn't Jazz it all the way back to Montreal.

Good point. That story still blows me away.

People say that this crisis is temporary and that once things pick up, it will be better than before or at least back to normal. This is simply not true. It will take a very long time for the economy to wake up once the virus stops spreading. Maybe, but remember AC was 937 pilots short, Jazz must h...

I thought the sticking point of the One List was the backwards flow in the event of this exact scenario? Shouldn't WS pilots be guaranteed spots at Encore in order of seniority now?

I had a student wreck the nose gear of a 172. First solo too. Bounced, panicked, porpoised, Basically "Encored" onto the runway. Parents were there to watch. Real heart breaker. She never did that again. I had zero trouble sending her solo again after a few review flights. Great little pilot. Odd ar...

I saw their ad earlier today... Haven't heard of any rumblings of a new flight school... Will ask around tomorrow and see if anyone else knows what's happening...

Then there are 2 new flight schools if you include the one at Beiseker.

There is a difference. The C burns less due to having less powerful engines. Do you need me to connect the dots more than that?

The need a Flight Instructor's what?

The authorities know pasco doesn't operate to balance field, just like they know they operate no alternate IFR in D's but using C fuel flow numbers. It's just how things are done at the south terminal.

The overruns at both ends are now paved

Ok. I guess I was looking at an old Google Earth overhead. So there's 5000 feet there now.

I guess they just plumb forgot to update the CFS then because it still 4001x75'. Even 5000' isn't enough to balance unless you have anti skid.
