Right off the bat...you lost my attention.

However next time try to redirect that angst and disdain towards something productive like the next "HST" type of new tax...it (may) make a difference.

So you're the "Henri" I've been told to watch for on here?!

Amazing read...can't wait for the next.

Are you a controller? Because if you are you would surely know we don't just sit down and accept what rules are instated if they don't make sense. We do complain, we do suggest, we do pressure but alas if management is to hard headed to make changes brought to them by the controllers that is anothe...

Laugh ALL you want. I already have the perfect spot picked out to place my lawnchair when the cosmic $hit hits the fan. I CAN'T WAIT for that asteroid to plummet towards earth and we can't pull Bruce Willis out of retirement to come save this pathetic cancer riddled rock whirling in space. I CAN'T W...

If you are waiting for Canadian controllers to bend the rules to accomodate you, well, don't hold your breath. I am not putting my job on the line to accomodate you. That's the truth. If you want things to change, you, the users of ANS system must be heard. Nav Canada management will not listen to ...

Some people just want Porter to fail no matter what. Come on now. That's not true. Seriously, that's simply just not true.

Sad. Not to speculate, but the weather in the area today wasn't the greatest. "deceptive weather" would be my words...I heard about this crash yesterday whilst in the area.

BEST THREAD EVOOOR!

Although...I'm r3tard3d when it comes to goofing on my ex-colleagues botched transmissions on the air. AND...they to me.
The level of patience ATC displays when we're being 4 years olds towards each other is a skill only a parent would have.

Carry on.
