Re: Boeing Max.
The answer has nothing to do with outstanding orders or how long a replacement would take to come online. The answer is whether the public will fly on it again. If enough people refuse to book a trip on one the model will be cancelled.

Re: Air North ad...
The most meaningful information an employer can post never will be; the turn over for the past five years compared to the previous five years and the five years before that. If it is going downhill you are not the pick of the litter. Owners blame this on the staff. "Spoiled", "lazy", and "greedy", a...

No.

Re: Yellowknife or Bust.
Boredom Tour 2016? You are leaving it late in the year for northern touring. The best time is late June. By the 31 August there is a definite nip in the air. North of Edmonton the trees will be changing already. My mother used to call girls who were ugly, "plain". Or, more ominously, "plain, but she...

Hey...I know what I've got. ...wife's a banker... Then you must listen to her about as well as you pay attention to everyone else.

I can see NeverTrue uses the same standard of accuracy to pontificate about the banking industry as he does the aviation industry.

Re: ICS Canada AME Course
Let me re phrase that.....It meets the requirements of basic training, however not approved for accreditation hours (1800) and the exams are not T.C. approved. So you will have to write the 3 technical exams plus CARs and complete your 48 months in a shop if you want a license. I found this very cl...

Re: Elementary Maintenance
You are not changing your engine oil. You are signing out an Airworthiness Directive as completed. Don't confuse the two.
If you can find that under elementary tasks fill your boots.

Careful, Hedley, from what I've seen on Avcanada lately, you are flirting with censorship.

Re: 1,000 inmates escape
There's no way Canadians would have let that happen.
Canadians would have given early release, put them on welfare, and then put metal detectors and guards in the court house to protect the lawyers while the rest of society lives with their decisions.
