Re: American Express Platinum card: Benefits vs Cost

is there a visa giving access to the lounge ?
I know you can with some mastercard.
the advantage of visa over amex is you can pay absolutely anything anywhere.

Re: Westjet F/A Sues Over Sexual Assault by Pilot

As it often happens in aviation's culture, the victim is considered guilty and speaking out will have you fired.
Nothing never ever changes.

Re: C series

60% discount and charges concerning AVEOS were dropped.
smart move from AC and you can be pretty sure that Bombardier and the Qc gov representatives were begging for a deal at any price.

Re: Turbulent times for WJ ahead?

what's funny is how all of a sudden people listen when they're being told who's the poster. the same posters were mocking Rcheck's post before that.
what's freaking out is that who is still able to distinguish rant from sound knowledge on this forum ?

That flying is so dear to ACPA that they gave up the fight for DB pension for new hires in order to keep that flying if you allow me : so many things are so dear to ACPA that they gave up the fight for a lot of things, including this PML thing about which the silence was deafening. nice to see AC a...

Re: Disparity between mainline and regional

flying is a profession and for this reason it's legitimate for a pilot to expect being compensated like a professional, from whom an airline expect to train, qualify and develop efforts to remain current. As well as all the ops duties coming with it... Regional airlines are not offering this compens...

Re: Whither the economy?

bank of canada's governor said a rate raise is not in the pipe but rather a downgrading to negative rates. which is not announcing a dynamic economy or investments or even consuming. it means putting your money at the bank will cost you, instead of receiving your interest rate share. Arabia Saudi is...

Re: 2016 Course Dates and Positions

If things are so great why are both AC's and WJ's stock prices taking a nose dive? They're diving because the TSX is diving. Not because they're not profitable. Just read the latest Q Report. Believe it or not, you better step in now if you wanna buy at a good price, WJA is reaching a year low with...

Re: Aviation Degree vs. University Degree

the way you can see it is they want to make sure you'll be able to read and understand company's manuals, aircraft's manuals, that studying for a type rating won't be an unreachable intellectual challenge, and in the end, that you'll be able to write a report with sentences that make sense.

Re: Syrian Refugee Thread Deleted??

Did I say the attacks are by Syrians or Muslims? No one has claimed responsibility yet that I know. My point being that fast tracking a massive amount of refugees from a known anti-west embattled part of the world is foolish. There must be proper vetting with no deadline to get people on our shores...
