Re: You probably heard we ain't in the prisoner-takin' business;
Uncontested movie of the Year, hands down. The man who played Hans Landa is going to receive many an award. I think some people might be under the impression that this movie is nothing more than two and a half hours of German slauhtering mayhem. In reality, that was hardly the point of the movie - t...

Re: Jobs in Africa and Aisa

Re: Jacko is dead.
This is in totally bad taste but I heard it today: In his will, MJ asked to be made into grocery bags because they are white, plastic and dangerous around small children. Seriously, he was the greatest performer back in the 70's and 80's. "People say Michael Jackson died in the emergency ward from ...

Re: University Degree or College Diploma???
ask around and see how many people with "just" a degree (as opposed to masters or phd) are getting jobs right now. a degree doesnt get you all that much any more. That very much depends on what type of bachelors degree you are talking about. The above holds true primarily for arts / B.Sc. degrees, ...

Re: Climbing the ladder.
Well, I'm at the very bottom of the ladder. If I had to chose, I'd like to one day fly something like a dash 8 or a corporate jet. For some reason, the big jets, while I wouldn't mind flying one, aren't my end all goal or aspiration. One of my drives is to provide a service to people, so I'd be very...

Re: UWO'S BMOS - Commercial Aviation Management - Flight
That's the first time in my 10 years reading this site that anyone has ever gone so far as to suggest a "FBO" will train to a higher standard than a college. This is hilarious to me on so many levels. First, a FBO is the place you go to get fuel, maybe make a meal out of their popcorn on a 3am medi...

Re: How will a DUI conviction in Ontario affect PPL and CPL?
It's funny how you will always find people that sympathize with drunk driving. We tend to sympathize for actions that reflect our own, as in doing so is to defend ones self by proxy. Really, is drunk driving any more of a "youthful mistake" than attempted murder? Personally I see it as beyond irresp...
