It doesn't really matter what your gear is when when traction is absolutely zero. You have to fly the plane as if you were still in the air. That usually means crabbing as you slide down the ice like a curling stone. The really tricky part is you can't stand up after getting out of the plane without...

Thanks so much..

If you call TC Medical they have an email address listed on the voicemail. Don’t forget the E at the end of the French “civile”. They responded within a couple of days. Could you please type out the whole email address if you know it? I can't understand the French part. It's ontcivilaviationmedicin...

Or those irresponsible millennials that bought bread and meat from the store instead of hand milling the flour from the wheat you grew last summer or the buck you speared, skinned, and butchered with a shard of obsidian.

There is no way Air Canada is in a financial position to buy another airline for nearly a billion dollars at this time. Even if they were the optics of dishing out that kind of cash while laying off a big chunk of your employees would be terrible. Perhaps in a couple years when things are returning ...

Why on earth would pilots be negotiating this stuff themselves at all?

Incredible report and photos. I plan to do this when able.

The competition bureau report is actually due out in a week. March 23rd. AC and AT have not been allowed to communicate with each other about this deal until that report is released. Even the AT CEO has said he expects this report to be negative. All of this was reported by the Financial Post but we...

How will Transat stock go to zero? You mean that if air Canada doesn’t buy Transat, Transat is instantly going bankrupt and liquidation? If that’s the case then Transat is not worth anything, so why would AC buy them. Time to sell those Transat shares! Apparently they are worth nothing!/s Not insta...

Expected to go through according to the CEO of Transat. Who knows if doesn't, in the current market, his company's stock will literally go to zero.

Check the OTS thread. It has all that info.

Lol get ready to be shocked if you think AC is going to add 300 positions in YUL just for you.

I played basketball in high school. My condolences.

Oh I agree 100% it's an airplane issue. Float planes flip. I know multiple career float pilots that have flipped them. There is no way anyone should be putting innocent people in a float plane without a reasonable chance of egress available to them via a simple to operate emergency exit. These are t...

Was the pilot insurable?

I have worked for operators where insurance has said it's up to you to decide who flies your airplanes. We trust you enough to not put incompetent people in there. So it's not always the insurance company making that call.

Shocking door design. The rear passengers didn't have a chance.

I would think that too if the people running this emergency alert system weren't so incompetent.

Via Tehran? There's 100000 Iranians in the GTA alone.

Ah Halifax. The world's most dangerous airport for airliners.

It's probably the Jazz deal that's making things difficult for them. They have to be sure they are meeting quotas. They can't just turn people away quickly anymore since they might need them if no one better comes along.

The front fell off.

If they weren't aligned with the runway maybe airframe icing and loss of control were a factor again.

There are much better operators than Emirates. That kind of statement means he's is pretty out of touch. I'm surprised the boomer didn't say go to Flying Tigers or "Sunwings". Of course he has to maintain the antagonistic labor relation standpoint. Wouldn't want to show any weakness with an reopener...

Use to take 10 years to FO wide body. Crazy!!!! Making 50 grand in the right seat , I think AC pilots should not look any other airline crew in the eyes as we walk by in the terminal. We suck...... I'm a bit surprised foreign carriers aren't actively trying to poach these WB FO new hires after they...

There's a lot they could do to cut emissions in aviation. Even just having ground crew ready to marshal you in instead of sitting there for 5 minutes every time you arrive in Pearson would save tons of carbon in the atmosphere. If ground power and air-conditioning was put on the aircraft as soon as ...
