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...

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...

Hahaha you got to love the Angrytecture! Probably does a good job at keeping the sales people away. In the UK we are working on creating cutting edge housing. Look at these recent examples: https://www.google.ca/search?q=manchester+slums+now&tbm=isch&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwjmr7qZo8ruAhWhEVkFHa...

looks like the mapleflot/aeroflot style of doing things may just come back, here in canada anyway. no one will have the money to train themselves, and on one wants the huge instability anymore. Get yer bucks out canada, yer gonna need to train off the street people just to keep the transportation s...

Looked at the first post, and that is what I am answering to. Hey, I don't like trudeau, he is a child in charge of other children who is telling the rest of us how it's gonna be.........talk about losing control of the situation, the kids rule. As far as the worldwide panic is concerned, well, it i...

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...

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 ...

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...

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...

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.

ya hit the nail right on the head. u should be a master carpenter.......

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 ...

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?

Hey, it's tongue in cheek, don't take it too seriously.

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...

I am out of the game, sort of. But.....retirement jobs have shed light on the rustiness issue. The long and short is that it's just like riding a bike. You never forget that. Chill out, flying a plane is easy. Just like riding a bike. But of course, for the few who never knew how to ride a bike, wel...

very worried about all of this, many will have their means of survival wiped out.

so I'll come clean, I am part of those who feel that the cure is worse than the disease.

fire away.

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...

thank god that houston centre had his back in his astronaut days. problem, what problem?
