You mean, other than the million or so per year that Ontario builds?

Anyone have experience with Aviation Insider type specific study guides? Worth the $35 or no?

They don't attack us and we rest easy (and very affordably) knowing that, and knowing that nobody else will either because the US would never allow a hostile power on North American soil. How much money would have to be diverted from our socialist programs that we're so proud of, in order to effecti...

Yeah fair enough, digits. I'm not for Canada being absorbed into the US, which is a laughable idea to begin with. But too many Canadians like to look down their noses at the US while ignoring the fact that everything they like about being Canadian is possible, in large part, due to the fact that we'...

It's a bit weird and actually quite disappointing that some people would want to throw away their Canadian identity and lifestyle to make a bit more money for a few years. Yeah well, Canada has become a bit weird and actually quite disappointing over the last 10 years, so it shouldn't come as a hug...

I think it's pretty difficult to accurately predict where technology will be in 40 years. It's also hard to say what the traveling public's appetite would be for flying in an aircraft without a trained individual with "skin in the game" with regards to safe completion of the flight. Definitely cause...

what an embarrassment, time to polish up the resume and get out of this mess. A request for you. Keep in touch with your course mates from your new-hire class. Then, compare your situation in 5 years to see if you made the right choice. I'm curious how it works out for you - keep us informed. I wou...

the guy on 60k is suffering. If you're legitimately suffering by making 60k, why did you take the job in the first place? You made a terrible life choice if you accepted a job that you knew would make you "suffer." Buddy this is the most out of touch bullshit I've ever heard. If you had 10 years in...

You will spend more time at year 12 than year 1. It’s that simple. Bingo. How many kids who failed the marshmallow test ended up as AC FOs? It's amazing how quickly the knives come out in a group of anonymous online pilots. If your flat pay wages are so untenable, why did you accept them in the fir...

If the wage isn't liveable at 140%, people probably shouldn't have been applying when it was only 100%. And yet they did. In droves.

Except it's not nothing, clearly. It's the wage that every single new hire over the last 10 years has willingly accepted as sufficient to go do that job. And now it's 40% more than that.

That 12 year 77 CA isn't going anywhere. They aren't quitting if they get 100k raise, 50k, or 0. They still won't leave. The new guys on the other hand, they don't have anything to lose. What kind of weird mental gymnastics would it take to want the job bad enough that you'd swallow the bullshit in...

If that transcript accurately reflects the reality of what happened, does this really qualify as Swiss cheese? Or is it just poor piloting? It's not as if the fault occurred at the worst possible time. It appears they spent over an hour popping in and out of icing with known faulty airframe deice. T...

I would much rather have a bigger government creating quality jobs at higher income levels (where the individuals pay their share of income tax) than have more shitty minimum wage part time positions at big businesses that dodge their tax burden and continue to funnel money out of the economy to th...

I can’t wait for a taxpayer-made millionaire who’s literally never held a job outside of government in his life to get in power and rise up to support Canadian workers….. Me too. The current taxpayer-made millionaire in power, who has never in his life successfully held down a job outside of govern...

Second. Ramp does absolutely nothing to teach a pilot to be a better pilot. Flying skills atrophy and useless skills accumulate. If you're talking about an airline style, walk on, walk off sort of flying job, you're right. But, for the usual entry level flying job that entails much more, it's just ...

This.
IMO, good decision making should more or less eliminate the need to ever fly at Vx, barring abnormal/emergency situations.

How much does a soy latte cost these days?

If only the rabid climate warriors would examine their position with as much common sense. On the surface, it's a nice goal if you think you're saving the planet, but the harsh reality is that, as a Canadian, you're really not making a difference. At best, we're chopping ourselves off at the knees j...

And no, adding user waypoints won't solve the issue. That would add the airport to my database, but not to my visitors databases. I'd like to be able to tell them to fly to XXXX I feel like I must be missing something here. Can't you just give them the coordinates, which they can then spend 60 seco...

The sun is always at a low angle in the barrens in December.

In my experience, the NWT is a nicer place than northern Ontario, Manitoba or Saskatchewan. The only place you're likely to find a more enjoyable "northern experience" is the Yukon. Yellowknife itself is not without its charms, but still overall a dump. Far superior to other comparable cities like T...

“I have asked Transport Canada to investigate the matter,” Alghabra wrote in a post on Twitter. “We must take the risks of COVID seriously!” Lol, oh no! Kids drinking and having a good time?! Mon dieu! What exactly did this dork think they were going to do when they got to Cancun? Masked up Bible s...

You write like you’re about 12 years old. Sorry. It's just that every time I try to make a mature post on here, I'm overcome with envy and the only way to feel better about what a failure I am, is to be petty and insult other people who have way more interesting and satisfying careers than I do. It...
