Unbelievable, while predictable.

Short predictions: Billions more will be poured into BBD in years to come, Millions of that will go to overpaid, unaccountable executives. The train exec is getting 4 million. Anyone think that that division is doing a great job? No company in western Canada will ever receive such a bailout, Neither...

Oh Canada. 10 million for the CEO.

Hello - I'm a journalist with the CBC writing an article on airfare in Canada and why it's so much more expensive than the majority of the rest of the world. I'm looking for anybody to comment on the frustrations of flying in Canada and how that affects your travel plans. Would anybody be able to w...

One of the Canadian government roles will always be to support Canadian business and businesses if and or when it can. Welcome to that reality. :drinkers: Gino Under ...Then with that approach ultimately the world will downgrade Canada's debt, unless they want to print money like other countries. W...

"Unintentional mistake". Really? I read that report, that's not my take on what happened. Really all, what's the difference between this and the Asiana accident where everyone agreed and wanted to hang those pilots, and the airline, from the highest flagpole? Answer: 1),not a Canadian airline, (LOL)...

Maybe the government will give them money too.

Not likely. Wrong province.

This comment renders the opinion BBD doesn't even NEED the money -- the government forced it on them to look like they are still relevant -- after all the prior bailout money -- with no employment or other conditions. http://business.financialpost.com/fp-comment/kevin-libin-bombardier-played-hard-to...

I don't disagree that BBD has been the recipient of huge amounts of taxpayer largesse over the years or that it is a grossly mismanaged company. However this is a loan, and when this airplane gets the attention and orders it deserves feel free to insist it be paid back. This airplane is a real Cana...

If Bombardier has chewed thru 7 Project Mgrs, maybe it's not the Project Mgrs that are the problem, maybe it's the environment that they have to function within and the system that they have to work with. It also seems to me that BBD made a huge mistake in closing down a very successful plant in Ki...

Embraer, Boeing and Airbus have all received subsidies or tax breaks as well. This is a loan, so not quite the same as a bailout or tax break. A loan. That's a laugh. A loan I wouldn't guarantee. Tell you what, why not look at the long term stock chart of Bombardier, then of Boeing, and assess whic...

I support, reluctantly, the banking bailouts -- loans -- whatever, because the credit markets were completely frozen, which means the economy ceased to function. The US had no choice in that regard, and US banks have paid billions in fines. BTW the root of the US housing crisis can be laid at the f...

Embraer, Boeing and Airbus have all received subsidies or tax breaks as well. This is a loan, so not quite the same as a bailout or tax break. A loan to an inbred company with a "fixed" board where you can never clean house because the voting structure. Publicly traded but never held accountable to...

For all it's faults, capitalism has worked fairly well considering the big picture. Damn, that's funny. Seeing as how corporate welfare is a corner stone of capitalist thinking, sure, you're going to see governments decide to let large companies falter and fail. Sort of like GM, and all of those US...

Aircraft manufacturers are subsidized all around the world, either through loans/grants or sweet deals at the sale end. Sadly , we need to maintain a level playing field in order to be competitive through assistance BUT NOT 1 penny more This is nothing to do with subsidization. This is bailing out ...

http://www.reuters.com/article/canada-bombardier-announcement-idUSO8N172019 Frankly, this ticks me off. Govt is lending out my money to a loser company who can't compete, has many of their transit division customers furious at them over delays -- Google that -- everything clearly indicating complete...

I've flown to nearly every corner of Ontario, lived near Lake Simcoe all my life, and I have not been to that part. Grew up north east of North Bay, ive found everything south of there to be overpopulated by citidiots. Same people i thank for the sad state of this province hence "Onterrible" Cant w...

A generalized answer, if I may...... I think, for many, many people, (not all situations ) a formal degree is a complete waste of a lot of time and even more money. It's a (dumb) qualifying tool used by large organizations that can't otherwise gauge people -- but so often what is learned on the degr...

No need for chest-thumping, but it WAS amusing. I appreciate what you're saying and many ways agree. Calling an ejection from a doomed plane - where both pilots walk away an "Horrendous Waste" is its own form of chest thumping. It's a bold assertion that ejecting was a poor decision and a strongly ...

[ AuxBat and Gannet have been around here a fair while and both are highly respected. I think they overreacted and assumed a very superior position to all those wondering why the ejection. I don't think people are stupid or need to be demeaned if they question how this aircraft came to belost, in t...

It always seems people question the decision to say good bye to the plane... I wonder why that is. If this incident is what I heard it was they wouldn't have had much gliding time before getting on the edge of the "preferred" ejection envelope. On another note the winds were seemingly gusting to 30...

If you have paid for fifty hours they must by law give you fifty hours of flying. If they refuse get it in writing or get a witness to their refusal. Then go to the better business bureau and lay a complaint and then go on the internet with the results and get their name in public. Agree with Cat. ...

Before your IFR training, practice on Flight sim.

Do it with the cessna, then the Mooney, (it's harder) then dial in 30 knot upper winds in the program. If you can do approaches that way, the real thing will be a relative snap, cause accurate IFR in FS is a real frustrating pain --

That is not a bad idea.
