Maybe Quebec should leave Canada if that's the way you feel about people from other backgrounds, if you're so offended that everyone isn't just like you. In this story, it is absolutely not about "Everyone has to be like you" (Aka speaking le Français) But simply about "Respect" French 101: The wor...

As a foreigner here, I have not felt welcomed at all. Lived in the states for a number of years (not american) very very welcoming. And don't sit there and tell me that I feel welcomed. I hardly know an expat here who feels welcomed by the canadians. I can't speak for everyone, but speaking for mys...

I don't usually agree with altiplano. But he is spot on here. You should get out and travel around the states and meet the average person. They are wonderful people on the whole outside of the cities. I'm glad to see that you're coming around! That's it though... we can disagree on things and still...

Canada is on the list of the top ten friendliest countries, topped by Portugal. The US doesn't make the list at all. Doing a google search, on a top ten, will always give you different results. Its all very subjective to the author. As someone who lived in the US, I would rate the average american ...

I'm heartened by the amount of people in this thread approaching this whole pandemic with a level head. I finally agree with Altiplano on something. I cannot stand the 'antivax' insult. Typically given by people.who have also picked and chosen which vaccines they have got out of the scores available...

"trying to interfere with our democratic collective bargaining process" I was there for the previous "democratic collective bargaining process" The union did not give the opportunity to pilots working, on vacation, or living outside of Hamilton to vote. If I remember correctly only about 70% of the ...

Honestly though, don’t take this the wrong way, if you don’t know, this the company you work for has failed you. I don’t know of any aircraft specifically “certified to be sprayed”, Many aircraft are not certified to be sprayed. This means that the deicing liquid and anti icing liquid has not been ...

That's what pisses me off: they aren't taking responsibility for their own decisions. Diadem - your need to be right on all matters is a very unattractive trait within a pilot. We've all flown with that person, and they are all avoided over time by not only their colleagues but their companies as w...

You sir, have a deal. I'll get the bank draft organized immediately. What's your name? I'm not giving out that information for free; you get the details when you show me the bank draft and proof of your income for the two years required. Send me a PM and we'll discuss. Or is your mouth literally wr...

As someone who has been with AC for over 5 years now after coming back from the sandpit - AC maybe the top of the pile here but when it comes to mainline airlines there is nothing to shout about. $2900 starting take home pay should be enough to keep good pilots away. Even the states makes this plac...

Any AT pilots who "wouldn't touch AC with a ten foot pole" you are all welcome to not come over when the time comes. Swoop, SW, Flair would all be happy to have you. Lots of AC pilots would be happy to see you go elsewhere if you feel you are too good to slum it at Air Canada. As someone who has be...

LOL... Are you really comparing the needs of protecting life and property with the need for a cheap all inclusive? What's next Canadian soldiers deploying overseas on peacekeeping? You could argue all day, but you'd be wrong, and opportunities to "live somewhere cool" aren't why we set policy. Why ...

Correct me if I'm wrong you seem to be saying that it is ok for Canadian companies to bribe officials overseas? Because others do it? If I was mistaken, I apologize. Look, it's illegal (obviously) for Canadian companies to bribe government officials either domestically or in other jurisdictions. Mo...

Your definition of what is and isn't "absolutely unethical" isn't always going to synch up with everyone else's definition: it's a complicated world out there, and shockingly, your personal ethics aren't always going to be universally accepted Yyzsaabguy, it wasn't his personal ethics. It is the la...

Coupled with the apparent hypocrisy of WJ/Encore pilots being absolved of "lowering the bar," makes for one messy and convoluted double standard. I don't know about hypocrisy on this board, but to be fair most pilots at Encore do not want to support the conditions at Swoop. Like said before, there ...

Well, thank goodness the MEC spent all that negotiating capital on getting rid of those OTS pilots. Cause things seem pretty awesome over there at swoop. But hey, at least we put guys like tbaylx in their place. Right? Totally worth it! Now we can watch the left seat at swoop go to junior encore FO...

Of course AC has some of the best benefits and wages. This allows all other operators to have less "because we ain't AC". ... and that makes it AC"s fault that nobody else seems to be able to catch up? That doesn't make any sense. As I said, take a look in the mirror if you think you're wages are l...
