Re: 5 pilots on 737 laid off
Naw, not on X got outta there few yrs back, ditto on FB. As for your book…. no doubt well put together but I will take a pass. I am a boomer(that’s my lot in life), with 75 yrs of existence or 75 turns around the sun whichever way you want to spin it - inspiration doesn’t do anything for me. Shit r...

Re: Seeking advice on buying a Cessna 172
Piece of crap. Unairworthy.
I’d be ticked paying for a prebuy on that without that stuff explicitly disclosed in advance.

Re: Transat got a sweet deal
Before the shutdown order TRZ had zero debt and over $500m in liquid cash. Plus the $18 per share takeover bid from AC. It was the govt's own disproportionately long and detrimental response to Covid that dug this huge hole in the first place. As a note, that $1.5b figure includes lease liabilities...

Re: When Albert separate, will it keep Canadian licensing or go the FAA route?
Look at Doug Ford as an example? He's medaling in municipal politics instead of focusing on the province, he has the biggest and most expensive cabinet in Ontario's history but campaigned on small government. He's banning things left and right, cancelling elections out of spite. I see you fell for ...

Re: Should I even get the instructor rating?
I agree with the reality of your message, not necessarily your approach. I don’t care. I am blunt. Saves a lot of time. Does the OP or anyone else starting out think owners of these companies are going to kiss their behinds for passing their CPL rides? Some of these posts sure ring that way. Why ar...

Re: Know your systems.
The Pilot was clearly in way over his head. Single Pilot IMC flying requires a high level of proficiency. That includes being able to fly without the use of automation. Too often automation is being used as a crutch - not as a tool. JMHO. As for circling approaches - they are prohibited at my Airli...

flying as a career is such fun I'd do it for free. No you wouldn't. It's a career that deserves to be highly paid due to the difficulty and skills it requires. Anybody saying otherwise is trying to undermine pilots for corporate or personal reasons. Nope. you're misunderstanding me. I'm retired fro...

You started the post, so if not what was the point of it? To rant and vent, and see if it's a common bad practice or not Because the OP deals with his problems the way most of society does.

I think when it comes to understanding why, the post below sums it up nicely with a bit of exaggeration.... Does it? Let's analyze it ? Do they? More than other countries? Any source for this?
