RCAF airbus's are maintained by civilians.

Leave the lockdowns and mask mandates up to each province to decide and enforce. BC, Ontario and the Maritimes are free to go full retard on their own.

The aircraft are good until at least 2030, the snowbirds aren’t going anywhere this decade.

You can say that about any pilot. Also, it takes two to tango.

That’s an option but lower end pension kinda sucks when you have to shift gears at 45. +1 aviation IN CANADA SUCKS You don't have to shift gears at 45, you can keep going. Even if you decide to call it quits then, you'll at least have the equivalent of the average annual income as a backing to lite...

My advice, if you REALLY want to do this, don’t plan on it being a primary career. Keep it as a side hustle. If you really want to make money doing this you have to own your own business / AMO. That is all. My advice, if you REALLY want to work on aircraft, join the RCAF. If you are okay with air b...

Excellent analysis!

They’re. At least be coherent when rambling about something with zero knowledge.

Our military is more concerned with triggering pilot call signs and who banged who 10 years ago.

Military is only a reflection of Canadian society.

Wow, even the rcaf has a duty day policy for their aircraft techs. AMEs are getting hosed.

"In the trenches"

LOL ok.

Been nearly a year since AuxBatOn posted. I always enjoyed his input, especially on this topic. Probably got tired of all the "experts" on this forum and their drivel on two-engines, multi-fleets and cost savings. Just look at the uneducated garbage in this thread! :lol: :lol: People think with emo...

There goes the "we need two engines for Canadas vastness" non sense out the window. SAAB doesn't meet key security requirements so the F35 being picked is just a matter of time. It was always by far the top choice and this stupid competition was 100% politics.

Does it really matter what this eco chamber thinks? Best to just ignore it.

This will be thousands of more deaths compared to the original strain. So.

The key note: The absolute risk of death remained low, increasing, for example, from 0.6 to 0.9 per cent, for 55- to 69-year-old males. “We don’t want this 55 per cent number to scare people into thinking ‘this is a big risk for me,’” unless people are elderly or otherwise very sick , said lead auth...

Pretty much all that aircraft is good for, cannon fodder for fat photographers in the pit.

Defend our sovereignty, and maintain our NATO obligations. The US bought the F16 because they couldn't afford as many F15's as they thought they needed to "defend freedom". Now a generation later and they are still buying Vipers to top up the fleet. Nobody can afford the latest and greatest, least ...

It's been proven over and over that when Uncle Sam wants to squash a Canadian industry like a bug, there's nothing we can do about it. Softwood lumber, steel exports to the US, the C series tarrifs, none of them legal and all of them were devastating to Canada. Buy American, don't be stupid. Keysto...
