IDGAF about blackface - after all, he was a drama teacher at the time; but I'd sure like to get dramatic with the gal who looks like she's just about to get groped...dayum!

Moses Ajala, 18, also from Nigeria, says he completed his Private Pilot Licence (PPL) training with Blue Bird in August of 2019 for roughly $25,000.

$25k for a private? Holy $hit. Someone's getting completely hosed, methinks.

Therefore, I started actually looking at the required fuel written down on the flight plan versus the actual fuel on the guages at some point prior to departure for every flight. At a previous company on one of the aircraft it was a checklist response to say the required fuel but at the most recent...

Latest information I've gleaned from 2nd and 3rd hand sources: Aborted takeoff from an unprepared strip (Perhaps a gravel bar - unclear) braked too hard, and flipped over..

Thoughts?

Better a devil you know?

Insufficient fuel, yes....and *multiple* opportunities to correct that. Wow! "The investigation found that the flight crew had multiple opportunities to identify the shortage of fuel on board the aircraft. Before takeoff, when the captain asked if the aircraft was ready for flight, the first officer...

Landing? Takeoff? What happened? Any witnesses?

Sad - by all acounts a competent pilot, and well-liked person.

Yes Rockie, there are plenty of Chinese visitors in Chinatown and Chinese food stores in places like New York, SFO, Vancouver, etc. I know that likely comes as a surprise to you which is no surprise to me. So I have a lot more credibility that you and Mixturerich. Below is a link from the Chinese c...

I'd fly that thing for free in return for the stiffy I'd get just from looking at it!

We had the same situation come up at my employer, also. I'm pretty sure that the flight crew exemption was intended to apply to operating flight crews, who are only away from Canada overnight, not people who are staying for a week, 10 days, etc...You're little different from a tourist at that point....

If it got me to Japan for some of that sweet, sweet Japanese snow? For a decent price, I'd sit between two Texans using seatbelt extenders! (wearing a mask, of course!)

^Pelmet, no, although for people in their mid-80's, that is, of course, an unfortunate possibility. I was getting at the concept of 'Excess Mortality' - as outlined in Rockie's first link above yours. [As usual, I though that I had come up with a brilliant, original idea, only to find that someone o...

Exactly...the perennial purveyors of doom will always be around. 466,000 dead world wide. 8400 dead in Canada. And of course the 120,000 dead in the US that is climbing by 1000 per day. Those deaths aren't in a vacuum, though...the 'real' death numbers would be the deaths caused by CV that are in e...

^ I see that your price has gone up, Pie..it used to be $500.

I'm lucky - got my first job in '97, and apart from seasonal layoffs in the early days, I've never been unemployed. Somehow I managed to luck into a job that has been unaffected by the current mess, so I'm counting my blessings. I've thought several times about hanging it up, and doing something els...

https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2020/jun/05/british-airways-considers-legal-action-over-uk-quarantine This measure will push BA and possibly RyanAir and EazyJet over the edge. No airline can be expected to fly under such conditions and survive, I doubt that you'll see eloquent elegies and prof...

I just bought a set of Bose QC35ii, and paired it with this mike: [url] https://avmike.leosounds.de/en-gb/home/[url] So far, it's been great. Just have to plug in the headset every few days to recharge the battery. Avmike is better than UFly mike, IMO, as it has a clip that secures the mike to the h...

Not only that, but where are you going to go with your fresh Beaver checkout in hand? It's not like there's a lineup at Air Canada..

^^That's what they said about CYEG and City Centre, and look what happened there!

Given the current economic climate, debt levels, construction costs, etc..not to mention the relative size of CYVR and CYXX, it ain't gonna happen..
