The concept of IQ tests has been generally dismissed in modern psychology due to the difficulties in defining IQ. This is very very untrue. Where did you even get that from? The first time was my Ed Psych course during my B.Ed. In 1992. The second time was during my M.Ed. A couple of years ago. Go ...

Wearing a union lanyard makes you a "sigma"? Better than being a prison bitch with a company lanyard. You’re all prison bitches.. haha! You just don’t know it. The difference in outcomes of someone who wore one lanyard vs another is exactly zero! Wow pretty classy yourself bob! Don't throw stones i...

Tell me you got a PFO from Big Red without telling me you got a PFO from Big Red... Lol what a sopping wet pretentious D bag. We all get it, your so well endowed bro. Such a classy response from someone with a high IQ.. lol. Firstly I never proclaimed to be high IQ. Secondly, why are you defending ...

Let the record show all I was saying is that less than 20 percent of the average people can get from 0 to airline pilot. The statistics reflect this, not just me making shit up. Dedication, intelligence, attitude, and wherewithal to research the cost of said training and many other factors play int...

I'm shocked you think the average intelligence and minimum intelligence needed are that low, but again like you said you have no evidence whatsoever to back that up. But neither have you. The military has done IQ research, civilian operators have not. That's my point. The one research paper from 19...

Do you not think airline pilots have above average intelligence? What would YOU say average intelligence for an airline pilot is? Give us a number. At what point would YOU say would be a minimum to be able to jump the hurdles of training and get hired by an airline. Someone brought up the US milita...

Man some of you are really determined to prove that even the mentally retarded can be and are pilots eh? You people think so lowly of yourselves no wonder you're some of the lowest paid pilots in the world. Digits what exactly is your position? You refute things while not ever really making many as...

I never said a small minority of people have the talent to become a pilot did I? I said HAVE WHAT IT TAKES, that INCLUDES dedication. Having what it takes is encompassing. Your lack of reading comprehension is showing. Perseverance. Mindset. Great hand eye co-ordination. Courage. Eyesight. Situatio...

What makes you think only a small minority has what it takes to be an airline pilot? Because I spent years training hopeful future airline pilots... I was a flight instructor. I reckon you weren't. I was. And I've returned to it after spending some time in the airlines. The claim that only a "small...

Except for the Canadian dollar, that keeps going down. All hail Turdeau and his best pick economics trained Freakyland with her solid russian literature background If only he could have picked a finance minister that could stop the incoming Trump tariffs at 10% across the board. A Trump win isn't a...

There, now it's settled. Can we get back on the topic of ALPA and Porter?

Usually but not always! Accord to my search, centipedes can have as many as 382 legs in the order Geophilomorpha and Millipedes can have as few as 34.

Sorry gents, every man has a limit. This isn't just about one idiot on the internet. I've noticed the number of morons I interact with increasing rapidly offline and online. The childish mentality of "if I don't understand this, no one else does" seems to be rampant. I obviously won't make judgemen...

First useful answer lol. Jazz FO's fly very very little too, and Porter YTZ FO's fly only a bit more than that.

I refer you all to this survey I did. http://www.avcanada.ca/forums2/viewtopic.php?t=218831 It wasn't happiness with the new contract that got it accepted by the majority, it was the legitimate concern of government intervention.

Right, so fear then. You are all cowards. No we get it. FYI I voted no because I thought we could do better. I recognize though that there was a chance we might have gotten worse because of arbitration. Everyone has different risk tolerances due to themselves and their personal circumstances. Are y...

My left seat upgrade is coming up soon. I will be at top FO pay scale In few months and the lifestyle is pretty good currently. I personally don't mind being a career right seater. I'm reluctant to accept an upgrade due to a few reasons. Firstly I would have to go on reserve, and that can last 4-5 ...

Except he's totally not. If he was, why aren't other airlines adopting this practice? You're just wrong and I'm not the only one trying to explain it to you. No new hires would be opposed to 2 year flat pay starting at 120k and then going to 140k would they? So the fact that it's flat pay is not in...

LMAO, the regression of grown ass men to juvenile children never ceases to amaze me. It's like getting a window into the mind of the average NPC. All those "gotchas" and "quips" that they would never say in real life, come out in the internet. I have a feeling that the men who made this country wou...

It’s cute that you just assume AC would hire you! Do you always have to be a douchebag? Do you have a mental disorder? Not sure but you would have to go over the history of all conversations between 8895 and myself to see who provoked who, goes back a ways, I’m not even sure anymore. Have a nice da...

Why do so many people hate on “flat pay”? Flat pay is not the problem, it’s the amount they pay that’s the issue. Your initial pay should not be based on luck of the draw. You draw a 220 and buddy next to you gets the 777 on day one and makes a pile more. Type pay is actually stupid, what is actual...
