10,000,00 die each year in China.

I don't understand those zeros

I'd give that number a solid 5/7

Do you know if your described solution still works if I buy tickets now to travel in 9 monhts?

Why would you do that? What's the rush?

I would wait to see how things develop over the next 3-4 months.

I have coupons with a signficant discount that expire if I don't book soon.

Make sure you have purchased the ticket(s) with a credit card. Keep record of all transactions. Should the carrier go broke before you have commenced travel, you can file a claim with your credit card company for the "undelivered purchase". You can check what happened when Canada 3000 went bankrupt...

Jeesh. And people wonder why nobody is booking plane tickets...

Guess I'll book some future flights on a European carrier then.

The changes used to have a vertical black line in the left (and right?) margin. Haven't paid attention to it lately if that's still the case. I believe it is.

Hi all, I was wondering what happens if your Canadian airline goes broke and you've purchased tickets that have now become unusable. In Europe, there is a mixed government/travel agency/airline fund that protects travellers. Does Canada have something similar? Google comes up empty, so that probably...

- 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 si...

Stupid mud season is starting here, so it's getting harder to do.

Looks like fun. Although I fail to see the value of paying someone 3000 EUR to just organize this trip, when no flying is included for that price. To each his own of course.

My last time through, the guy grabbed my RAIC out of my hand as I was placing it to the scanner, he had gloves on so he was safe. I made sure he knew I wasn’t happy and cleaned it with his sanitizer in front of him. Doubt he changed how he conducted himself after but I felt better. Going forward, I...

In Manitoba they are banning all non essential travel to reserves, it’s a matter of time I’m afraid

Isn't the bulk of flying to the reserves "essential"? Medevac, groceries, personnel changes?

I’m honestly surprised that a takeoff clearance can be issued with the airplane ahead still on the runway I've actually witnessed 3 aircraft on T/O roll on one runway. 1st A/c rotating #2 halfway down the runway and 3rd getting a go. Granted in the good old USA but they were in high volume mode. Wo...

I don't have the chart with me, but your IFR LO/HI chart should indicate where the different PAL stations are located. These NOTAM indicate that the listed frequency is not available at that PAL. You might still be able to receive other frequencies at that location, or be reaching a PAL further away...

Are other EIC operators affected as well? What about their Bearskin operations?

It can get pretty interesting on a taildragger. For fun I marked the fuel level in a pitts once. Blue markings for a wings level attitude, black markings for a 3 point - on - the ground attitude. There was up to an inch difference. Ground full indicated could be as low as only a 3/4 tank in the air....

If this is your level of motivation to do the job, I suggest you do the skydive place and another pilot a favor and leave it to someone else.

We get pressure every day on things, hotels, exceed contract duty, exceed cars duty, lower than min crew rest, multiple mels, pairing awards out of seniority, unrealistic schedule planning, reassignment rules, pairing extensions, etc, etc... If you can't understand that really you are talking about...

You guys obviously don't work at AC. These dudes would walk if their layover hotel got downgraded. Being a $300k widebody Captain doesn't mean they're going to put up with any crap. What do you mean with "walk"? Go on strike? Not show up for work? In normal/good times, I can totally see that. Now? ...

If they did that every pilot in the company would walk. Let's not get out of hand with these theories. It's easy to let fear get out of hand. Walk around in a circle maybe. Where would they go?

Impressive!

Nicely done!
