Re: TC Overstepping

The mysterious unsafe flight the Ops Manager did in October suggests a lack of operational control. I could see this being why TC would want the accountable executive to be spending more time in Canada. If OP is "in a little different position than some" they could have just hired someone to be thei...

Re: Aviation Medical Review Board

Holy crap, that’s brutal. I’m not doubting the accuracy of your statement, but how did you find out those timelines? Because that’s way more information than any of us here have been able to get out of anyone at civil aviation medicine/RAMO/AMRB. TC won't give you the information. You have to file ...

Re: WestJet Encore applies for LMIA to hire foreign pilot

The normal procedure for corporate chop shops like Onex is to dismantle its own operations or assets to extract value or profit from them, often at the expense of employees.

Re: 5 pilots on 737 laid off

They attended a glory hole or they operated it? I'm surprised more new hires aren't doing sex work on the side to pay for on base housing costs. I considered doing OnlyFans myself but I think it would be more like ZeroFans. If I was more of the DEI persuasion though why not. You can make some good c...

Websites don't cost enough to make. Just download the app, renew your ADB, then delete it. You just helped 100 people join the federal class (formerly middle class).

Re: When Albert separate, will it keep Canadian licensing or go the FAA route?

Even if this doesn't happen all we have to do is wait for father time. It seems like most people over 50 have no personal principles other than what the CBC or other liberal legacy media tells them to think. The younger generations have been "radicalized" into having some critical thinking skills. C...

The weather in St. John's the morning of the crash was around 0 degrees Celsius. Freezing precip may have been occurring over the North Atlantic.

They have slowed to once per month. I'd suggest going back to your home country as it likely has a better chance of doing well economically in the short to medium term.

Re: Do we have a commuting policy now?

I don't know if drop with no credit is much of a commuting policy. It's just a promise not to get you in trouble for trying to get to work. Reading this thread makes it seem like it's not even that if people are saying things like 'I wouldn't risk it'.

Re: 25% Tariff on all non US made Autos.

Is it possible Carney is a plant to increase the chance of American's annexing Canada? Everything he does seems specifically designed to attack Trump's supporters. Now he's attacking American gun laws and online platforms.

He just announced $150m for the CBC. And making funding the CBC statutory.
