Re: What are the unlucky doing?
Laid off Airbus Capt. I was a trucker back in the 90s, so I went back to long haul. The weather in the US the past few weeks has been less than fun, and I’m not enjoying driving for 22-25 days a month, but I’m lucky I have a job. Tons of companies begging for drivers out there, so if you’re on EI g...

Re: More than half of world's airline pilots no longer flying - survey
All of the above posts are have good points and are all valid. Bottom line, going forward, how many of these young people figuring out what they are going to do with their lives, will want to chance a life where chances of success are very low? Humans don't do that. Actually, no living being does th...

Re: CANADA TO LIFT BAN ON BOEING 737 MAX ON JAN. 20
Another media induced panic that has been resolved. Cost boeing billions, and the lawyers got rich. Except for a minor technical software correction, there was no real problem with the airplane in the first place. What a world, one guy screws up a procedure, big company loses billions, and the botto...

Re: Can Tourism Operators Survive Another Year of Border Closure?
I agree..... Trudeau junior is not even close to Trudeau senior.....who has now passed away........ At least the old guy had a sense of reality. Beards are nice, but wtf? Pie in the sky ideas are bound to fail, it's always been like that. I guess that practical thinking is out of fashion since that ...

Re: Is being a Commercial Pilot in Canada worth it?
Depends on your worldview, but yes, at the end of the day, it is not a bad gig. Like the stock market, you can make it big time, or you can lose your shirt, and that will depend on timing, on luck, whether someone likes your face or not, and silly office politics. Those silly politics can have a dis...

Re: Ontario Stay Home Order coming in.
Quebec is already doing this shit. It is not working. Everybody around here is doing what they are supposed to be doing. Still not working. These authorities need to give their head a shake. It's not working. Doing the same thing over and over again that does not work is a sign of madness. These peo...

Re: New Transport minister
Well, I see that the garneau thingy seems to have a rather interesting reputation all over. Even out of blogs like this.
And, this guy gets one of the top jobs? That has serious impact on the whole country?
I am worried.

Re: Retirement Dreams
At this rate I'll be one of the ones flying till 67, and then going back to 703 aviation to die in my work boots, but I like your optimism. That sounds depressing. I look forward to retirement, and letting the youngsters do the daily grind. If my plan works out , 6 more years, and retire at 55. Lif...

umm...... the government types are in panic mode and are thinking like panicked persons. The panic is a result of attempting to get the virus numbers down at all cost. the number is their sole tunnel vision focus. they could not care less about the big picture, because they can't. they are in panic ...

Re: Foreign Airlines take CEWS
Vaccinating the prison guards, then the most vulnerable like the elderly (even those in prison), and those with pre existing conditions (even those in prison), and then everyone else, and then the healthy prisoners, would make no sense, right?

Re: Garneau's fireside chat and PR campaign.
Don't confuse Garneau with any sort of stand up person. The person is a product of the canadian navy, chosen to be an astronaut for political purposes, and is now a politician. We're not talking . Yeager here, who actually needed to use brains to do a job. We are talking political product who will d...

Re: Pfizer Covid Vaccine shows 90% effectiveness.
Maybe a few things to point out in order to see context..... Nobody likes fatality rates but as that guy Benjamin Franklin said, the only sure things in life are death and taxes. I can't argue with that. The leading cause of death is cancer, second is heart disease, third is this strain of covid. In...
