Knowing that there are no studies concluding that masks prevent illness and lots of information, anecdotal or otherwise that masks are harming both physically and psychologically, can you tell us why you think this is not safe? Would you be open to looking at the evidence? Do you not trust your God given immune system? Also, do level 4 biolabs consider procedure, surgical or cloth masks
More bullshit. Denis G Rancourt the disgraced fired University of Ottawa physics professor wrote this. His article was deleted from Research Gate. It’s especially hilarious when he gets confused over whether 2.5 um is larger or smaller than 0.3 um. You don’t read or understand the crap you post.

For more reasons why this article is useless and you’re again posting bullshit, here’s a nice light read (but JerryRig you won’t understand it):

Out of curiosity JerryRig, since you’ve never posted anything aviation related on this (what used to be an aviation forum) do you work in the industry?
Does any of the above matter to the point?
Would you answer to this if it was asked of you?
Does a degree make you intelligent, or is it simply a recognition of brainwashing?
Does any of this change the facts?

Take for instance the government of Australia ordering 150 million doses for their people while sending a letter to every home convincing them to take a third dose because the first 2 doses didn’t work. Ask your primary school son or daughter how many doses every man woman and child of Australia are expected to get within the shelf life of the “vaccine”.

This is never going to end, so start asking questions.

Btw there are only 26 million people in Australia. And I have seen the code for those vax passport apps. There is allocation for 8 doses, expandable to infinity with subsequent software updates.

Does it take a degree to figure out something is seriously wrong. Is answering your question and challenging my credibility change the facts YOU should be investigating?

There is no end game. Contact your representative and demand to know why.

In case it was not mentioned……I have been advised that 12 WJ pilots were fired for not getting vaccinated. I wonder if they still get their zest fares.

What about Swoop? Might not be a such a bad predicament to be fired from swoop. CERB probably pays more than the average Captain wage.

Relative to other 737 skippers, Swoop pays less, but at $100,000 per year, I can guarantee you that CERB will not be the better option.

Flying a 737 for 100k a year? Anyone who works for that must have the Covid brain fog when they accepted that job. :lol:

What a disgrace.

I mean, 100k per year in general isn't bad... if you ignore what our neighbours to the south make or what captains at Air Canada make.

It is about half of what an AC pilot makes. I made 140k last year at Jazz with no overtime so yes that is a pretty sad level of pay.

What year and what was base salary?

Swoop would be 99900 base pay for first year captain.

You'd have to ignore a lot more than just Air Canada and every US carrier to consider 100k not bad. I was making significantly more than that on a turboprop before I went on to greener pastures.

Making half of that makes it easier to think of it as not bad.

With that said, I have been seriously thinking about working toward going to the US to fly recently.

I wish you luck with that. I hear it's easier said than done, but if you can, it's likely highly lucrative.
