Would you rather have to spend some time up in the bush, an experience that could have its good sides, or get either yourself or your parents into massive debt. I'd take 'some time up in the bush' every day, and twice on Sundays. Had more fun, saw more stuff, got more interesting stories than you e...

18 months? 1.5 years on the ramp making nothing, 2 years on a smaller multi making nothing, then the decision to either move to civilization and make nothing for another 2 years at a regional, or make an average wage as a captain in the middle of nowhere. Is this career even viable for anyone just ...

I hope that training departments are ready to go!

YYZ, Rookie...turn it down a little, please. I'm sure that if we were non-socially distanced over a beverage, y'all would be a little more restrained.

Perhaps it's because I drive a diesel, but I have a pair of work gloves in the back of my car - always use them to fuel up...

Now for the anecdotal: Used to fly tankers with a guy who'd had his hip replaced. he had it done during the off season, so IIRC, he was back in the saddle by the middle of the summer season. Didn't really seem to slow him down any - still went swimming most mornings, and had no problems going up the...
