Re: Discrimination

Very clearly racism/discrimination as well as white privilege. The woman occupying the seat that shouldn't have been there should have been removed, plain and simple. If for no other reason than the seat assignment has to be paid for and she's travelling with a small child. Of course, when a black ...

Re: Mandatory Vaccines for Everyone

You still need an aviation medical to be a pilot. Why aren’t you people choosing that as the bridge to die on in this silly “mah freedumb” movement? Interesting choice of words for a poor analogy. I agree that many of the "reasons" for not wanting the vaccine are silly and dumb, in my opinion. But ...

Re: Category 1 AME renewal - color blind

I too fail the coloured dots test. I failed the lantern test twice. I was given a practical test a mile from the tower (during the day) where the controller used the light gun and I somehow was able to identify the colours. I was issued a Category 1P (P for practical) which has been good since. Tran...

Have the striking workers actually done anything that is "Illegal"? Annoying, yes. Not all that strategic - you bet.

Re: Bearskin going head to head with Porter in North Bay mar

How does a company (Bearskin) reduce the price that they charge the customer for their service by 60% and remain in the black? Easy. They operate an aircraft that has paid for itself 15 years or more ago, devalued to zero by finance, has a very, very low operating costs, with crews that are cost le...

I'm no psychologist, but before this guy is condemned, I would imagine it could possibly be an automatic "OH FUKK!" reaction to jam the powers forward. In a brief moment you may know if the airplane is going to fly or if it's going to shake itself apart. It could work, as in this case and another PC...
