Lots of airplanes parked these days, probably some good deals available for a well capitalized and experienced Boeing operator. There are some interesting marketing opportunities today, already that website emphasizes the 'not a max' aspect. Going forward, existing operators have left a terrible bad...

What is a P180?

Piaggio. Kinda like a kingair that got turned wrong way around on the assembly line.

The deaths are the only somewhat true story, but since something like 60,000 people in Canada die in hospital of malpractice and infectious contamination every year, not really something to be deathly concerned about. You are suggesting that folks are dieing at a rate of 165 a day from malpractise ...

Yah, lets get that conservative party back in power, you know, the ones that took away the right to strike for Air Canada pilots, remember them ????

Today is a classic example of this as all the media outlets seemed to be running with the: oh my gawd can you believe AC and WJ are selling the middle seat again? Who do they think they are? Maybe that's what you are reading into it. All I saw was reporters that basically re-gurgitate what they wer...

Of course, there have been quite a number of aircraft on amphibs that left the wheels down and flipped over on landing with fatal results(likely at low speed and tail low at touchdown).

You are confusing momentum traders with investors.

And the flight test examiner....

Thankfully the tutor didn’t continue straight ahead, resulting in ejecting into the city. If you look at the satellite view and extend runway centerline, strait ahead is over the river for a considerable distance. Strait ahead would have been into the river, not the city.

Those conditions are not materially different than those borrowers face in typical corporate credit facilities, excepting the climate disclosure language which I agree is politically motivated - I'm surprised we didn't see equity employment reporting included "Because it's 2015". We had a...

I interpret it as not wanting the government support which comes with too many onerous conditions. One of the statements during the announcements, companies need to consider government as 'lender of last resort', and they stated a company should exhaust all regular avenues of financing first. A sec...

Pretty sure most of those medical professionals would suggest an airline pilot is just a glorified bus driver....

The same restriction exists for those coming into Canada as well. Not likely to see the german tourists arriving to spend 14 days in isolation before they jump in that rental motorhome and head off to Jasper from Vancouver. The entire tourism industry is pivoting to try attract locals for the 'stayc...

10 years. Got the pink slip that put me on the street Jan 1990. The next time into an airplane was April of 2000. Everything was expired, so I basically started at the very beginning. Had to write a p-star and inrat, then do an IFR ride to get the ATPL valid again. I took the weekend IFR course that...

You do realize that it takes 4 years to 'go get a trade ticket'.

Most care homes in Ontario and Quebec have been in isolation since before the pandemic became serious. So tell us, how well has 'keeping our elders safe' worked out in that part of the country so far ?

Agreed. People gotta get back to work. Who do you think pays for their CPP? The working population. Actually, cpp benefits are paid out from the investment fund which has accumulated over the years from contributions. CPP assests can cover it's obligations going forward, without contributions from ...
