https://lois-laws.justice.gc.ca/eng/regulations/SOR-96-433/page-5.html Did not click the site cuz I already know what is in there...... Basically, anything and everything. Some flight attendant or some passenger or some tc idiot does not like yer face, you will be nailed. Sad comment I know, but it...

With all respect to all, yer all missing the point. And the point is.....you still need to know how to fly a plane. These machines are now so dummy proof that pretty much any driver can operate them. Good, bad, does not matter, if you have a quarter of a brain of the average human, you can't get hur...

We're talking dui, not major aggravated assault.

There is a difference. Dui is a bad mistake, but does not carry criminal intent with a desire to inflict harm.

You need to see the difference. Putting a dui into the same boat as a violent person is just plain wrong.

A whole hell of alot of disinformation here... I was arrested for a dui, in my house, truck parked in the garage, 1.5 hours after, driving...... All this after a kid crashed into my rear bumper, while texting on his cellphone, in a parking lot, at 10 pm. Kid needed to justify his actions, so after c...

The rules are made by politicians, and implemented by public servants. That’s a really good example of deflecting the issue: criticizing public servants as privileged and overpaid, whcich, even if true, is irrelevant to whether parking should be a taxable benefit. It’s not a personal thing, and it ...

My vote....... Disgusting indeed. These rules are made by public servants with, if not fantastic, but nevertheless very high salaries with hugely generous expense accounts. Said expense accounts equal a 40 hour minumum salary job. In a job that requires minimum effort. And then they decide to screw ...

Ah yessssss........... Airplane drivers are perfect beings the likes of mother theresa who spend their off time feeding the poor and never, but never, make any sort of mistake........ever.......... Not even 0.02. Which is nothing. Not ideal, but still nothing. But the minimum wage security guy sees ...

sounds like the raic pass process has a few holes in it. RAIC program has holes you say? Isn't Canadian Aviation Security air tight!?!?! :| Passing through the ramp checkpoint charlie in YVR you get randomized and hauled out for secondary screening half the time. The vehicle gets searched as well.....

So much for transport canada. Real good at screwing the little people, not so good at catching the big fish. .Actually, zero abilities at catching the big guys.

This is classic ottawa logic.

Old thinking is what it is. There are jurisdictions around the world that hire zero time people, train them, and stick them into 777's in the right seat. Multiengine time is nice but not really neccessary. You will find out how a V1 cut (engine failure right after takeoff) feels like on your first f...

No conflicting opinion here. I agree.

Trouble is, the system is so $#&&ed up that it takes a rocket surgeon (sarcasm is intentional) to even track down the person who can actually issue you that piece of paper.

This is canadastan, where only the big 2 write the rules. Sadly. That's the way it is comrades. That is just not true. The ULCC model will never work in this country - I've said that forever. Why.....It has nothing to do with the big 2 ruling the skies - and everything to do with demographics. Cana...

Yes, it is a dumb system. The whole radio licence thing is a long forgotten thing that nobody in the "government" even knows about. Some clerk will rubber stamp a paper if you have some sort of proof that you had one. Not sure how it works now, chief flying instructors had the authority to issue the...

Hate to be a party pooper but many have tried, made a go of it measured in years and decades, only to ultimately fail. The list is very long. And Jetlines is only years of talk. No real substance. I wish them luck, but history is not on their side, let alone that nothing material is present. This is...

This "airline" is nothing more than a tempest in a teapot. I have a bet with someone that it will never get off the ground. If you look back, threads here on this so called airline started in 2013 and to date haven’t completed their first revenue trip. They changed logo,colours,aircraft types not t...

No, tc did not have a hands off approach. They had high profile inspectors of the day on site, as opposed to sitting in some government cubicle. Like they do now. Contrary to the hype, many good and qualified people were doing their work as anyone would expect. And.......yes.....a horrible accident...

He he he......... Retired for stupid reasons after 4 decades but I got a passtime with pocket money dropping skydivers............. Hardest and most stressful job in my life. AND, believe it of not, need to fly to a standard that exceeds anything I ever did. All that for pocket money. Thought I saw ...

Stating the obvious, it's all about greed and fear. The money guys could not give a shit about the product. Whatever quality the former bombardier product may or may not have had, the guy who bought the place sees a short term huge payoff. Long term......u can bet they don't give a shit. That is how...

They're both equal. And different. You will not be considered any better or worse regardless of your choice. So it really depends on what you find more attractive. You're 50 so my guess is that you are not aiming for big red or any other bus driver job. Even if you did, the choice would not make a d...

Can't just make a mistake anymore, learn and move on. Nope, need some internet hero to make it viral. Bingo. If you are not perfectly politically correct and never make any minor mistake EVER, you are dangerous scum here in canadastan. That pretty much makes 90% of the population inadmissable to so...

I've got zero qualifications in the combat world, so.....out of sheer curiousity, can someone out there actually say something rational about what would be a good replacement? I dunno...F35, saab, mig, eurofighter or whatever new fangled replacement that was cooked up for it. Or for the rest of the ...

No one from the generations after you will have the same opportunity. That comment doesn't make sense...salaries are higher now than ever. Take-home pay for 777 captain is about $180k for $300k salary. Save 100k for 10 years and you'll have sufficient income from investments to be able to retire co...

Figured that airplane drivers would be just a teeny bit smarter than the sensationalist journalists who are looking for a juicy low brow story. I am starting to think that drivers have troubles seeing 20/20. Perhaps some experts out there can explain to me why I had zero issues in an NG after, what,...
