- change that cellphone plan (do you still need international/US coverage?) - learn to do your own small car maintenance. if you drive old junk and don't care about resale value or warranty: oil changes are not mandatory every year - braking is what makes you burn more fuel. avoid roads with stop s...

I think it’s pretty cool / lucky they could ski down to an area for rescue

Will you feel better about yourself if AC pilots get layoffs too? No but the math are clear, you don't park up to 175 Airplanes without offloading pilots, I just hope not to be in the numbers... Mainline has 189 and rouge 66.... only 80 frame left flying... How many pilots will be needed ? Are the ...

I wouldn’t sweat the delays, right now there will be many 3000+ hour guys looking for jobs and no hiring for 2+ years at the majors anyway as some will inevitably have long term layoffs.

Just as terrifying as the “bush meat” in China is the level of antibiotics pumped into the animals in North America. We are going to have our own disease issues from all the antibiotics resistant superbugs that are evolving as a result. Before anyone gets on me for it I know that covid 19 is a virus...

Some woman must have made that quote.... only men got drafted for both world wars.

Ya Women didn't do anything for the war effort like ferry airplanes overseas, work in factories, work as nurses on the front lines... all men

There will probably be more suicides from the financial strain and fallout then the corona virus killed.

Why limit yourself to just porter? Jazz and encore are looking at it below 1000 hour pilots now as well.

I'm writing this from Dubai. Numerous events cancelled/postponed and the shopping Malls are a lot emptier. Emirates has just asked staff to take paid/unpaid leave on a voluntary basis. Most flights to/from Iran cancelled. Global travel is slowing. N America will be next. This a multi-year Black Swa...

757 used to burn around 3600kg/hr (8000lbs/hr). The 321NEO burns around 6000lbs/hr. 757 had payload issues as well depending on whether it had the increased MGTOW supplement (250,000lbs vs 225,000lbs). 757-200 could be operated as a sardine can at 231 seats. Most operators flew it around at lower d...

Revamp? Doubt it. Probably same same without the potential stock volatility. I think the company will push hard against anything more than 5%. They are not issuing “free for them” stock anymore but cold hard cash they would rather keep. The stock was never “free” the company would have to buy it in...

I’ve been debating moving back out to the west coast, what is happening to the yxx base?

Been a rough couple of years on small 705 operators here hasn't it. First Air becoming Canadian North, Pasco becoming a Westjet feeder, R1 and GGN gone, all the EIC companies becoming one, Transat becoming AC, Swoop cannibalizing Westjet flying...becoming more and more of a duopoly, with fewer and ...

DC-9-32’s definitely could dump fuel.

NAP

Are you sure about that? A quick google search says they can’t

Tell the PC-12 operator that this other opportunity came up and you don’t want to be the guy that starts with a company and bails on them. If they are a decent company they would understand and appreciate the honesty which would probably leave you with an opportunity there still.

If Keewatin joins ALPA, you will have the majority of the medevac for Manitoba and Nunavut under one union that’s a start.

Search negotech it has all CBA’s in Canada

Lots of narrow body WJ guys working 8-10 days a month it all depends what you want to bid for. Not going to argue with that, but I know for a fact there are at least 3-5 brand new 37 Capt’s (what’s that like 5-7 year wait) who would leave tomorrow for a new hire job at AC because they work every mo...

You also don’t get frost when it’s really cold like -35 and below because the air has no moisture then

Did you really buy a seat, or were you essentially assigned a free standby seat? If it was free you should probably just be grateful you got a seat and not complain. If you paid for it and you really want/need the space, you're going to have to risk hurting someone's feelings to get it. If you're u...

The ONLY thing is if the DOM didn’t realize that was someone’s parking spot and perhaps it wasn’t the first time they had someone steal it so they were fed up. Still a quick “who’s plane is in my spot?” Is more appropriate

Very few airplanes I know of can take more than 10kts on the tail as per the AFM, Q400 being on of them where it’s approved up to 20kts but no contam and a bunch of other restrictions.

. Local Canadian news asking why missile detection and deterrent equipment not installed on civil aircraft like it is on AirForce One.

What goods detection without chaff flares and ECM pods? Airforce 1 has those too

I think Voyager had some on their airplanes actually

They never said it was a technical issue with the aircraft...
