My grandchildren will be paying off Trudeau’s free giveaways To give you an idea of the competence of this government, this was in the newspaper today: "The Canadian cabinet is devoid of representatives from the critically important sectors of oil and gas, mining, technology, manufacturing, agricul...

That is why I deliberately quoted a female airline pilot interviewed by CNN a few years back and took the quotes from her. I read that just now, and I thank you for it. And believe it or not, I do agree with most of what she said. But you have provided no data, only a single anecdote. Please do not...

Hmmm, all those quick replies to my posts suddenly stopped. Next time you see intentionally fraudulent statements like the one below as was used for gender bias in this thread: Systemic discrimination is discrimination by a thousand cuts, a million attitudes, a hundred thousand assumptions Look at r...

- Job is wrapped up in a lot of unappealing circumstances, especially to women - Very few women even view flying as a career option in the first place - Cost of training, tough schedules, little time to raise family among obstacles - if the job were just concerned with flying, there would be a lot ...

These are frankly easy fixes that will do more than a company saying “we’ll hire 50% women” to actually get the license numbers up to parity United hasn’t said that. They said that of their 5000 expected hires in the next period, half will be women or visible minorities. Not that half of their pilo...

Your bias is that you assume women have less drive, ambition, means, or family support to achieve their goals than men. Women’s lack of success in all sorts of fields has always been attributed to their lack of ambition, or support, or means. Women going into law, medicine, engineering - any tradit...

... unappealing especially to women who may not have [as much of] the drive, ambition, financial means or the family/network support [that men have] to pursue flying as a career. .... You see Photofly, it is very simple. Do you honestly believe that this is somehow biased? You really can’t help you...

These are all things that many industries agree are less acceptable to women than men. That is not an answer. It simply pushes the question down the road, so let me ask it. Why are they less acceptable to women? A very easy answer for me to post for you: You have to love flying, because you start o...

I think a valid question to ask the airline pilot cadre is whether they actually want a more equal workplace or not. If they do, what are they prepared to do, and what are they prepared to give up, to achieve it? Yes. Equality of opportunity. Not the disgusting United Airlines hiring policy that is...

Women are generally repulsed by manual labour and traditionally male work roles ... You don't need to go any further: you are the problem. In fact, you could have stopped after the first three words. The problem with you Photofly is that you come up with an opinion, and will won't allow reality or ...

Seriously: try to think of a reason why a sewer worker shouldn’t be a woman, without forming some discriminatory and disgusting piece of generalizing yeuch that starts “women in general are/aren’t...” any time your mind starts to go there, realize you’re part of the problem Because no one wants to ...

Why do you see this as evidence of systemic discrimination? Can you give a possible example? The hypothesis is that women don't *want* to be pilots, not that they are being discouraged from the whole process. In an equal world, the same number of women will want to be pilots as men, because absent ...

Pointless and irrelevant response. The OP isn't really interested in the reasons why our vaccines are slow (which I've posted). In addition to the China stupidity for our slow rollout, I just found this interesting fact: "The country hedged its bet by mostly going with companies funded by Operation...

Anybody wonder why the government signed mostly options with the big three vaccine manufacturers(the underlined part of the article). Take a guess. It is one thing to sign a contract back in August. It is another thing to sign an EFFECTIVE contract. I don't think we need to guess. We are in a simil...

Anybody wonder why the government signed mostly options with the big three vaccine manufacturers(the underlined part of the article). Take a guess. It is one thing to sign a contract back in August. It is another thing to sign an EFFECTIVE contract. As the U.S. Vaccinates Millions for Covid-19, Most...

While other governments were ordering vaccines quickly, our federal government was doing something else, for whatever reason. Our government had signed contracts back in August: https://www.tpsgc-pwgsc.gc.ca/comm/aic-scr/ententes-agreements-strat-eng.html If anything could be criticized it would be...

So to paraphrase, you blame to government for: - too many lockdowns which were also too strict and - not doing enough to prevent covid spread No, Unfortunately you did not read very carefully(or are intentionally misleading). While other governments were ordering vaccines quickly, our federal gover...

Congratulations to people like Rockie who have been misleading you(as usual) on subjects such as the man-made global warming scam and how Canada was so much better than the US when it came to Covid. As the US opens up while we shut down with all the economic devastation that goes along with it and t...

Sort of followed the threads but not too closely. Were there really some nasty posts by AT pilots or just people being overly sensitive. Post a few that were bad, if any exist.
