^ ^ ^ That. Other than when you are assigned a position in your first week at the airline, everyone junior in a position chose to be there. They could go to a position with a better relative seniority and have a better schedule. Or wait not very long in any NB FO position and find themselves well up...

Full circle. That's part of it isn't it... scarcity of labour. And that isn't just because of NavCanada's recruitment screw ups.

I reject your assessment and the data supports that there are more LOS incidents in Canada as a ratio to traffic volume. Canada is 1/10th of the volume of airline traffic the US sees and a fraction of the GA and all in a much much larger area with virtually no traffic density. We have very few large...

Hyperbole. Volume - The US is the largest volume of traffic in the world and extremely dense sectors all in less airspace. Their challenges are so much greater than those in Canada. Even so, pull the US out though? Look at the rest of the western world? Denser airspace, more volume, better performan...

What's not standard is "user pay" in this country and the fact that all the air navigation charges are passed through to the passengers right on their tickets. There's nobody with any teeth to hold the service to some semblance of accountability. It's clear as day to anyone that's been around this i...

That's a pretty mundane looking BOD. I don't see anyone on there that stands out, 1 retired AC office executive that worked on the commercial side, not the operational side. Really, a bunch of patronage appointments.

And advisory committees are just lip service, there's no directing happening there.

Legal job action or strike action is different than coordinated book offs for personal benefit. If NavCanada controllers want to earn more they need to get it at the table, not by what amounts to defrauding airlines and the public and negatively effects thousands of people every day. And those not i...

The thing you guys don't get... it's not this seniority block or that seniority block or this age or that age... There are company suck-asses at every level of this pilot list that would stab their own mothers to get a shot at pleasing some low level flight ops manager in this place. It's unreal the...

I disagree. There are already qualified controllers in the military working terminal seats and towers. They can navigate aircraft to precision approach minima with radar vectors alone and you're trying to tell me they can't control high level airspace? Or let planes connect the dots on YVR arrivals ...

It's corruption pure and simple. The people in the yvr acc are corrupt, they are gaming the system to their own benefit, and they don't care how many airlines they rip off to do it, they don't care how many passengers they inconvenience, they don't even care how many career paths they derail. They ...

There are advantages to both... I've both lived in base and been a commuter. Whatever floats your boat. In base pilots can be happy that commuters aren't taking their OT or bidding junior to senior positions leaving quicker advancement for some, commuters can be happy that there are fewer people loo...

Yeah. you're right, straight into regular pattern with MTV/LOFT for first sequence is current practise. Maybe it used to be LOE in first recurrent sequence and it changed, whatever... been a while since I did a course. MT/MTV - it's all the same though when it comes down to it, an IFR ride like all ...

Isn't it LOE on first recurrent sequence on type? So would be MT/LOE? Or do they do MTV/LOE?

ZFW limit at 73 pax? I'm surprised... I would think more or less nil cargo on that flight. Aircraft is designed to take full loads.

Why would they load restrict that flight? Short sector, even with fuel for a SEA alternate there would be oodles of payload...

And if it was full of people in the back how could w&b restrict J/S occupancy?

If you're on a leave like parental leave, that's a protected leave, they can't touch you for that. But intimidating with meetings over book offs is just another AC card replayed from years past... "Our data shows that 75% of your book offs are on weekend trips" "Because I work every weekend" "Can yo...

Street driving city pickup truck is not a "lifted truck."

LOL... I'm just saying, stay under the radar... having multiple managers know you for your various issues in your first few months isn't a good start. Pass your training and stay under the radar for a year... that's all you have to do as a new hire. Complaining to managers about shit that is just a ...

I’ll add that it takes quite a bit for a company to cut their losses on training, obviously the future training problems were taken into account! Training failures the company will typically go quite a ways with... eventually the writing is in the wall though and experience levels coming in have ne...

Last I recall, Liberals were forcing us to do medical procedures against our free will too. Experimental vaccines that proved to not even work in the end - turns out they all owned shares though, worked for what they were trying to do. Just like the climate alarmism and everything they're mandating ...

False equivalence.

I didn't realize that was what the "lifted truck" comment was referencing, just assumed that it was chosen as a stereotypical idea for Liberals to ban. My point was that since present Liberal policies will discontinue the sale of ICE by 2035, that would effectively ban lifted trucks because nobody i...

I don't know what you're talking about "AI Carney video" - the Liberal enacted policy under Trudeau and still in place is to ban the sale of new ICE vehicles by 2035.

There are few things larger and more intrusive into people’s lives than ‘small’ conservative governments. Because you have to manage your own life? Make your own decisions? The last 10 years of Liberals have intruded into Canadians lives more than any government in modern times. You get the good wi...
