The CP and SVP are both stellar individuals. You can bet this decision came from the executive suite and nothing to do with Flight Ops.

Guys, please don't let all these silly distractions about abandoned allies in far-off countries get in the way of the TRULY important things in Canada, like the Liberals calling an unnecessary election during a global pandemic.

93% vote to join ALPA from what I'm told. CIRB certification to follow.

Good grief what a shortsighted view. Of course your investments are up, ALL investments are up, we're in the "everything bubble" that is inevitable when currencies are devalued they way they have with the 20 trillion pumped into the world economies. Attributing that to Trudeau or the Liberals is the...

Very well said. I don't know what his deal is, maybe he gets off on pretending to be a dictator? He’s not even pretending anymore. That’s the scary part. I have had enough with this right wing political nonsense. I specifically asked for nothing overly political, it is not helpful to Canadian pilot...

Might have to compromise and get a "cheap one". Aviation headsets are pretty specialized and not the easiest thing to get in the best of times, let alone on a weekend during a pandemic.

It's hard to imagine there have ever existed in the history of medicine any substances more highly researched than the various COVID19 vaccines at present. The entire world is doing nothing else but research, at present. The smallpox vaccine and the Bomb might have something to say about that. A di...

I do find it a bit sad that a few people seem surprised that task prioritization is taught in any decent training regime. ... They subsequently modified their syllabus and began to heavily emphasize the concept of "resilience", encouraging the management of complex non-normal situations to best eff...

I don't know which airline he was referring to specifically, but I do find it a bit sad that a few people seem surprised that task prioritization is taught in any decent training regime. In one large overseas airlines I worked, they became alarmed at the increasing number of incident reports on the ...

I'm a journalist looking to speak with people in the private jet industry about how COVID has impacted business and how quarantine rules and testing are handled when you're flying back into Canada. Message if you'd like to chat. I've got a question for you. Actually three. 1. How would anyone here ...

"Having had numerous first hand experiences myself in one-on-one dealings with disruptive passengers" might give some people the wrong idea. One-on-one dealings by flight crew with disruptive passengers are a complete contradiction to both the philosophy and the actual policies of every airline I've...

Meanwhile, in the US: • American Airlines has already paid off a 550 million dollar Covid relief loan; • United Airlines is expected to report they were cash-flow positive last month for the first time since the outbreak began; • Southwest orders 100 B737 Max with options on another 155; • US pax lo...

Why is this thread even still continuing? RedandWhiteBaron ended it with math, on the first page. The rest is just noise. Rockie et all: do not give credence to the nutjobs by continuing to engage with them. There is zero to be gained with trying to reason with those of questionable mental stability...

There’s plenty the federal government can and should do better. However their responsibility re: vaccines is to give them regulatory approval and acquire them on behalf of the provinces and territories. Everything else is up to the provinces and territories. I’m curious what you think the federal g...

Comparing Paul Martin‘s liberals to gropey macblackfaces‘ liberals is farcical. But you knew that already. Haha, pepper spray them or fund them. There should be laws preventing teachers and authors from becoming politicians. I don’t know who gropey macblackface is, but would you have preferred the ...

Oh boy, you two are out of touch with reality. Let's chat in 20 years. Actually I'm just quoting NASA PhD's. Perhaps you're more knowledgeable than them, but I kinda doubt that. "Let's chat in 20 years" is a lame cop-out, trying to sound wise predicting that things will be different sometime in the...

Hi Rockie, actually they do keep stats on this! :D And you are correct. Most accidents have the pilot as a contributing factor. Pilots are the weakest link. They fail on a rate at least equal to any other component. Either they fail to respond appropriately to a situation, make decisions that get th...

Not exactly the greatest day for Pratt & Whitney.

What's coming? A plane that can be flown remotely?

Pretty sure that's already been done for some time now.

Not just with one pilot, but with NO pilots on board.

Can you IMAGINE?!

Wouldn't say it's my favourite, but try "Tmavomodrý svět" (Dark Blue World).

A better version of "Pearl Harbor". Czech fighter pilots who formed their own squadron within the RAF after Czechoslovakia was betrayed by the Munich Accord in 1938.
