lol This thread is so Canadian it makes my teeth hurt. Try living somewhere outside Canada for awhile where your apologetic white ass is very much a minority. Say, the Far or Middle East. South Asia. And you'll very quickly realize comments that trigger earnest pearl-clutching in Canada are NOTHING ...

He gets it, he just doesn't give a shit. It's easy in a time like this to see who actually GAS about neighbors, and who lives in the 'its all about me, screw the rest of you' kind of world. Which is also why Asian cultures, which tend to value the community over the individual, have absolutely made...

I dont look at anti maskers and the maskers for you to that you follow. I look at science and read what doctors say from everywhere Do you know slaves wore masks? What happened to visors being worn? Takes the vaccines that are coming out and be safe, do not research what they do Only problem they w...

B777F is a fun, fun aircraft to fly. GE90's with 110,000lb of thrust a side made going empty from DXB to HKG a lot of fun on takeoff.

If I had a dime for every wishful fleet rumour ever spread for some Canadian carrier or another...

If the price of a pilot medical isn’t in the basket of products used to calculate an inflation rate, then increasing the price of a medical has no effect on inflation; it cannot therefore play any part in controlling inflation. You're confusing measuring inflation with actual inflationary causes. I...

Inflation, like all economics, is highly subjective - definitely not science. The concept of "substitution" used in calculating the CPI is a prime example. I actually don't have a problem with price increases in line with inflation. Agree with ahramin that it's silly to get upset about. Th...

Why would I edit it Fanblade? I meant every word. I didn’t win, you made us all lose and after over eight years it’s about time you stopped blaming other people for your miserable life just because they could see what was obvious and you couldn’t. Read my post every day because I mean it every day,...

A month later and the thread still limping along in slow, torturous pointlessness.

Kind of mirrors AvCanada and the world at large. With tsgarp as the poster child.

I am hysterical about what the politicians will do(and are doing to be honest). I believe I read about another 37 billion Justin dollars announced today. It happens so often, I don't even read the details anymore of what it is for despite exceeding, or close to exceeding last years deficit. Umm...&...

I would suggest training in an EASA certified program - perhaps even in the US. You will get an EASA CPL, plus a FAA CPL all in one go... then you take the FAA CPL and convert is easily to the Canadian CPL - ratings and all... very easy... Good luck, Red If you do think you'll need the EASA, this i...

Single pilot on a modern heavy jet sure, it's actually less workload than flying a Navajo SPIFR. I've never flown a Navajo SPIFR but I have flown fast jets including really old ones with scattershot instrument panels, black ball attitude indicators, antiquated navigation radios and of course no aut...

Most of the covid deaths were due to die in the next 5 years anyway. So they don't count as Covid deaths...or matter? It counts as covid deaths but for the most part they were going to die in the next few years from something else anyway so why ruin an economy over it Wow. You haven't really though...

Try not to go overboard with your apology for calling the guy, what was it? An "asshole, cold-hearted, negligent"?

Dude was far more gracious about your completely erroneous leap to conclusion than I would have been. Gsus.

Um, no. Great Britain left the EU. Per the BBC: The UK stopped being a member of the European Union (EU) at 23:00 GMT on 31 January 2020. The country is neither Great nor United anymore. Right now, all EU rules still apply. They may have left, but no deal is done. For all intents in purposes (Custo...

Dont take my word for it. Read it directly in the UK government’s own website. https://www.gov.uk/transition The UK has left the EU There is a transition period to settle certain matters but the EU not longer makes policy for the UK. The list of 14 countries the EU opened up to is not valid for the...

The UK which is no longer part of the EU published its own list of countries whose residents are exempt from Quarantine when arriving in the UK. This list does not include Canada, China or the United States.... https://www.gov.uk/guidance/coronavirus-covid-19-travel-corridors The UK is part of the ...

I just have one question.

What is a P180?

Why can’t you get it through your thick skull that everybody wants to open up? The difference is most people want to do it intelligently so we don’t have to close it up again like they will be forced to do in the US. Actually I've met quite a few people who'd be quite happy to have things not open ...

Grammar is the difference between knowing your shit and knowing you’re shit. Everyone can make minor errors, I know I do. No sweat. It isn't about achieving perfection, it's about striving towards it. Somewhere along the way society starting worshipping mediocrity, to our great peril. When I see som...

How on earth can you compare a guy making obscene money for ruining a perfectly good company, that WE (you and I) propped up for all these years, with the average schmoe on a government scheme? It sounds like typical bottom-feeder mentality at work. Guys at the top, who make that filthy amount this...
