Re: CBC coverage- Pilot’s frustrated ATC rant

Not a good look for a professional pilot to be ranting about another aviation profession like this. Frustrations and emotions run high but this isn’t a good response, particularly the rumour fuelled accusations. https://www.cbc.ca/player/play/video/9.6773978 It's a world class rant. Since we don't ...

Re: RECALL OF CB

The most likely reason the unhappy reps did not move the resolution is because they knew they didn’t have the votes for it to be a successful recall. In other words, not enough MEC reps agree with the couple of disgruntled rep’s position(that the exec has to go) for it to be successful. Leafs ticke...

Wow. I’ve never seen so many charts and graphs and bullshit on a company presentation before. At least there’s a plan, I guess. Hopefully you pilots are on board and willing to accommodate.

Is this currently competitive? And would an upgrade still be considered at 4000 TT?
Thanks.
