Weren't very clear were you?

Nitey nite.

Nope, not using sarcasm...

Irony:

a literary technique, originally used in Greek tragedy, by which the full significance of a character's words or actions are clear to the audience or reader although unknown to the character.

You get it now?

"Well, I did. I fully expect that the 10s of thousands of dollars I've spent on flight training will exempt me from starting from the bottom." Well! Why don't ya come on by the office and we can have a coffee and a chat about how you feel you know it all already, just before you get your shit handed...

Spinner: I'll just go ahead and figure you wrote that from the classroom of your flight school. You just decided that if a pilot is over 60 (62 is what you said) they need to be watched carefully by hawkeyed aces such as yourself? You just painted many very competent and accomplished pilots with a v...

Fly with **some** 62-64 year olds and you might change your mind. I've had some terrifying experiences with what are supposed to be some the most experienced pilots we have. I find myself watching the very Sr Captains a lot closer than the ones in their 30s and 40s. The cognitive decline in many ol...

Just remember that the wastelands of aviation are littered with the airlines that unions broke. And plenty of card-carrying, dues-paying brothers and sisters from airlines that survived populate other industries after wage rollbacks, furloughs, lay-offs, or payouts ended their aviation careers. One...

"Just remember that the wastelands of aviation are littered with the airlines that unions broke."

Respectfully. Can you name them? I would guess that you're referring to Canadian companies.

Gilles, Great that you are flying, still tons of us are not, please try to tone down the layover stories. Others may not be as happy as you. :lol: THIS:"The problems with airport onsite COVID tests are multifold. Current tests take hours to process, which poses the problem of having people wait some...

Awesome photographs Gilles, er um...where are all the people? I too can wander around the waterfront where I live, have lunch with my family, drink a few beers, or coffee, go shopping or sit in the sun socially distanced with others who can do the same. I can drive to a different city and meet frie...

Gilles, you should really consider the position the WHO and Dr. Tam ( who works for them) have been taking vis-à-vis the virus and global travel restrictions. At first you wanted all carriers to stop service completely ( the day of the most recent and dreadful Transat webinar ) and now you are call...

When does the new guy start?
She and the other dispatchers are already on the property with in house dispatch going live in the next month or two.

Outstanding. Well done.

Such a far cry from the cheerful ‘owners’ cheesy jokes and rolling arsewipe down the aisle.

You haven't flown with these guys in some time have you?

It's a very old song...it also had (if memory serves) something to do with mustache wax and 100% O2 being a great combination of volatility. In other words whatever was in the wax didn't mix well with 100% O2 and could cause instant burning when they were mixed. Back when those mustaches were shaped...

Imagine the sound of a man choking on a lollipop. That's Flair. Now that's a mature response to a seemingly genuine question. Thousands of people in the industry are out of work, some likely never to get back and all you can do is spew your sewage? I would love to repeat the old adage that it's bet...

I guess if any Rouge 767 Captains are laid off they might be allowed to grab a seat with George's bunch. The question is will the layoffs at AC go that high? Are there any 767/757 pilots in Canada with a valid PPC? I know lots who were at one time, but that was a long time ago. Good luck George, you...

And you're basing that on? Facts? Or are you seriously the kind of person that's hoping that those employees lose their lively hood?

It gets worse, word out there is that SWOOP just cancelled the latest planned training course and is sending the last tail number delivered back to the lease company (or wherever it was coming from)
