As per his usual, he no doubt stiffed people during that bankruptcy.

“ although there were very few with Harper” Yeah… just fighting with the Supreme Court to remove election donor caps so his cronies could buy elections. Fighting with the Supreme Court to keep a Canadian citizen extrajudicially incarcerated without charges or trial. Fighting with the Supreme Court ...

Old Fella, thanks. I give credit to our Flight Attendants, they usually do a great job, and are the face/ambassadors of the airline. Still, the onboard product can be better. And good news, there is onboard improvments coming later this year and next.” Hey 330heavy Just to reiterate on my comment re...

After updating my last post, I thought I would re-visit a little history with a thread from another forum..... https://www.pprune.org/canada/203076-air-transat-hiring-pilots.html Meanwhile.......If the CEO of Air Canada is out on his ass......what are your chances at AT in a slow hiring environment...

That's just horrific to watch, to see the level of damage that occurred to the forward end of the aircraft in such graphic detail. The photos that came out were bad enough, but that video is awful to see. Very much so, horrific and quite disturbing to look at that CCTV vid clip of two undoubtedly w...

I want to say around mid 2023 Yeah, my buddy just got hired he interviewed last July and just got the call. Slow process rn. I couldn't tell you how long base transfers will take but its been up and down in the last couple years. In the grand scheme of things it won't be long. Still a decent amount...

From the report ... "The captain was hired by Northwestern Air Lease on 01 December 2022. He obtained his type rating on the Jetstream series 3200 on 22 December 2022. In addition to his Jetstream series 3200 type rating, the captain also held ratings on the Jetstream 3100, Convair 580, Lockheed L-...

The FO, untill that point, was doing his job. I don't think either pilot was doing their job. The question is "why?". Dysfunctional crew. The Captain himself had type endorsements on large transport category aircraft up to and including L-1011 so knew the concept of multi crew performance requireme...

Juan sums up the prelim well. These guys were amateurs. I don't believe they even consulted HOT tables. If they did, they had no idea what they were looking at. Horrible decision making and knowledge base. Nevermind the so called flying "skills". Amateurs. https://youtu.be/HK2uhj6AABI?si=x8ZcWZ1gDb...

As anticipated and no doubt expected there is civil litigation ongoing. If it ever gets to court proceedings there will no doubt be a Human Resources element stance presented.

Edit: The 5th and 6th paragraphs from cncpc later post is startling to say the least.

The reductions in flying was expected as the completion of phase one of the LNG project in Northern BC was known years ago, ask anyone in the oil patch. They've been looking/bidding on for new work for a long time. Also, the NWT diamond mines are o the final leg, thought I read other week the Diavi...

It's almost like "pdw" wrote this TSB report. Haven't read is yet. But I did warn TSB Tasker a few years back to do his best to ensure that the TSB did not do diversity hiring that would lower safety standards of accident reporting and therefore, aviation safety overall. I doubt that the TSB, as mo...

"I wonder who that could be" and look who popped up. I called you weak, not soft. Soft would be a lesser insult. Ah my friend…. I was there those decades, got the inside line I dare say. Life was unfair then believe me but I survived. Music was great though… Joplin, Slick, Morrison, Garcia, Hendrix...

What I disagree with is the approach. The jealousy of boomers is coming across as blame and anger. That doesn't solve the problem. We probably wouldn't blame things on them if there wasn't a verifiable track record of them getting in the way to make things difficult, more expensive or outright impo...

They say strong men make for good times, the silent generation. They also say weak men make for hard times. I wonder who that could be. You wouldn’t survive the ‘60s and ‘70s, that Generation wasn’t soft with a “poor me, life is so unfair” . "I wonder who that could be" and look who popped up. I ca...

I wasn’t necessarily directing that at you, a general comment on blaming others for their woes. Like in your example GenX started their career in the early 90s recession and then lived through Sept 2001, the 2008, Covid… what’s next for our careers. My problem is that the most current generation is...

I'm not blaming anyone. Just pointing out the facts. Millennials started their careers in the 2008 "great recession", then just as things were starting to get good, COVID. What covid did for a millennial's career what 9/11 did for the boomers. Both generations had their figurative career headwinds....

OMFG what an entitled moron. Gen X here and when I reminisce about the early years I think about my first job in Moncton instructing at MFC. My room and board was $300/month living in the Patch across the street and one month I didn’t even make that much. Many of my Colleagues were European’s just ...

This Generational stance is their view “The World owes me and this is what I want” because of their perceived injustice of the Generations behind them. Good luck to them going forward in their lives because The World doesn’t gives f*ck - it never did, certainly not now and never will. That will be ...

Old Boomer here….. Can someone give me a reasonable explanation with examples why I had it so good in the ‘50s, ‘60s and ‘70s. Honestly I would like to know and understand where I f*cked up during those far back decades and how my f*ckup led to the detriment of the younger named generation group. J...

Reasonable points cdnavater. FFS, we all paid for our flying training, certainly wasn’t free. To boot, all of us in some form did what you had to do. We can’t help if such costs for flight training are what they are now , no more than I can bitch about the cost of a basic FWD Crossover($40k+). Anoth...

To the above two space cadets, it's not our job to teach you to use what's left of your brain. Go and pull up how much flight training costs, how much entry level salaries are, and how much housing costs where airlines are based. Do the math, and determine if you could have the luxurious life you c...
