I don't think that anyone's mind is being changed here....
Thread locked.

^ Weakness? I rather think that you'd have to actively try to F$$k it up that badly!

The pain of cheaping out lasts *much* longer than the pain of paying a higher initial price.

YES, YES, YES, a thousand times YES!

Words to live by..

Is yet another thread going to be hihacked into an unrelated debate?

NO.

On topic of AC and CCAA from now on, please, gentlemen!

So are they going to remove 40% of the seats, or just keep the same pitch, and leave some (middle?) seats empty?

Message has been flagged, and we'll get back to you (hopefully!)

You'd have to wonder if they'd be better off staying onboard and trying to pull out of the dive more before impact. I doubt it - they were just out of altitude. The best outcome would have been to leave at the apex of the climb - instead of turning......but there could be many reasons why they did ...

^ I'd have thought that you, of all people, would *pay* $500!

I think that this thread has pretty much run its course...

I've always worked with what I've been given; that being said, I've found that if the ropes extend much past the end of the float/rudder, they beat themselves to sh!t, and end up looking like dreadlocks on a bad hair day.. If i want a longer rope on the rear, I'll try and toss it forward of the fron...

I have learned that Doctors are like pilots. Ask 100 of them their opinion on this and they will all respond differently. They will all be right too. :smt040 :smt040 Fact is they are just shooting from the hip. They don’t know either. At least their opinion is formed by several years of intense edu...

Are you saying medevac has finally evolved into only taking actual medevac patients :o Lol exactly! “We’re only bringing down the really critical patients now” “..... we’re literally the Critical Care aircraft..... isn’t that we were always supposed to do?!” [/quote] Ain't that the truth! I like th...

At my place, a confirmed COVID calls for gloves, respirator mask, gown, and faceshield for loading and offloading, and an N95 paper mask for in flight. The patient will be loaded into the aft spot on the sled, furthest away from the door. Once we get back, the a/c is left on the ramp (wx permitting)...

Somewhere in The Punjab, a village is wondering "Who the hell is Socal Distan Singh?"

Is there such a job (FO or captain) in this industry where you're home everyday with a decent schedule?

Ah....the unicorn question! You can have money, schedule or location in aviation, but only two of the three at the same time!

Core, log off AvCan, turn off your computer and take a deep breath. Then, go outside and take a suitably socially-distanced walk around your block. When you've done that, quit posting for a while and relax - you'll live longer.

Let’s all just be honest. If it was a good place to work they wouldn’t be throwing out DEC adds for type rated guys in times like these.

LAst time I checked, at least they're still working - unlike many of our comrades. I'm sure that most of us would rather have 100% of $130k than 100% of EI...

Take the good paying job...NOW! No-one knows how this is eventually going to play out, so any job offer that you had in aviation prior to now is tenuous at best. Take the external job, rent a 172 every week or so, and hunker down and see what happens. Don't forget that UI is time-limited, a job - ge...

Nope, it's still there. (as of about three days ago..)

All of the above points.

Oddest thing I ever flew was a dead wolf that had sat outside in -20C for a few days. paws were straight down, head and tail straight out. Loading him in a 185 was like getting a table around a tight corner!

ACboi, you are cleared direct to the Victoria VOR, to hold west, outbound on 270. I'll call the inbound turn. Don't expect further clearance.

FFS, guys! We're all in this together. Please try a little less sniping, and practice a little more kindness.

Holy crap - I hope that they've put extra paper in their fax machine! It'll be running overtime tonight with all of the resumes flooding in!

Take the 'sure' seat now at the 'dive centre. If you get the call at the regional later, then go. It's a 206, not the Space Shuttle - they can find a replacement low-timer in less than a week... I'm beginning to think that 6 months is optimistic - I'm already telling my kids that they might be off s...

Wouldn't it be easier to just cut everyone down to 50% (or less) blocks?
