That stupidity has spread to the airlines? Well, I'll be damned.

If the employer, despite treating you as a contracter, pays their portion of cpp, EI, and holiday pay, you can adjust these numbers downward by about 15% That's be deducted from your pay during each pay period. Maybe there's a school out there that does otherwise, but I doubt it. Part of the whole ...

I've never met Jim, but from everything I've seen on this forum he is a wealth of knowledge and a respected opinion within the community. Jim, take your time, the road to recovery can be a long and frustrating one.

I've been reading Dave Olesen's blog for a while now, can't believe it was him - but very good to know he's alright.

If your paying a subscription fee, then those updates are not free. You have payed for them. One could argue that the updates are included within the subscription fee, but then we are arguing semantics. Regardless, Foreflight has a better pricing model than say Garmin. Buy a ~$1000 CAD Garmin porta...

Most panel mounted GPS units have the option to configure North Up or Track Up on the moving map. I remember getting into a FTU aircraft where someone had configured the '430 to track up... There's a reason the default is North Up. As for using Foreflight, yes it is worth it, if you are going to use...

BTW, Interesting how you say I must be a communist. If you want to talk about blacklisting and "communists", go and look up Joe McCarthy's Committee on Un-American Activities. It's amazing how ones career and life can be ruined simply by a rumour or innuendo surrounding a resignation or dismissal. ...

Any airport in particular? Assuming you are licensed, you'll still have to do a check flight with which ever school you decide to rent from... Langley has Skyquest and Langley Flying School. There's also another school there, originally from Chilliwack, with a colourful reputation. Pitt Meadows has ...

Yes. You make the operator retrofit, for a 24 hr CVR duration, just as operators retrofit important safety advancements all the time. Privacy concerns are a red herring. You are in a position of substantial public trust and responsibility, Rockie, with thousands of lives under your care. That certa...

Great! let's see what the outcome is! (It's not clear that then city's appeal turns on the jurisdiction issue though. Can you find any appal documents?) They've got no grounds, instead what they're probably looking to do is bankrupt the defendant. Pretty simple really, the City has "unlimited" reso...

That's what the courts are for. It's difficult when the municipality is the airport operator as well though; even if you win a court case you're now on the wrong side of the very people you need be friendly with. You can win the battle, but lose the war, so to speak. Yep, you can't fight city hall....

Good luck convincing any city, municipality, village, etc, that they aren't allowed and granted absolute control over everything that occurs in their private fiefdoms.

You really should upgrade to the latest version of macOS. There isn't any significant difference in functionality, but you will be protected against malware and hacking, which is the biggest reason to upgrade. Scroll down my friend, and read Carrier's rant on how Apple is dooming it's users to viru...

This same issue may arise at Pitt Meadows Airport as the airport authority has decided to give the local mayors & council full control of pretty much anything that has to do with the airport,including the enforcement of the cities development rules. Daryl Yep, pretty scary what the "Board of Direct...

Maybe get one scoops load of water and clear the rest of the pack a path?

Well, there was MP - but he moved to Thailand recently. Not to mention the fact that a number of the "old guard" on this site took a rather dim view of him, but I digress.. There was also Jodi who worked at Pro CZBB. Not sure what happened to her, she might still be flying around in neat aircraft an...

The same weeping and gnashing of teeth occurred when Apple announced it would no longer support Power PC based computers with their new OS in 2009. Which is pretty funny, because Apply announced that they were transitioning to Intel based chipsets back in 2005 at the WWDC. So, users had ~4 years to ...

2. Second — about 99.9% of the time — "Cultural Marxism" is a snarl word used to paint anyone with progressive tendencies as a secret Communist. The term alludes to a conspiracy theory in which sinister left-wingers have infiltrated media, academia, and science and are engaged in a decades-long plo...

The USS Dwight D Eisenhower Nuclear Aircraft Carrier is in Halifax Harbour now for July 1st, love to see them fire off some F-18s from the deck, nobody would complain here. Cool sight for those in the area. That one ship could take over this country... Probably have a tough job getting down lower p...

Should we give him Viking's number? I mean, I'm sure they'd get a kick out of restarting the Otter production line for a one-off.
