So Julie payette went to private schools, so did Trudeau...anyone know if Garneau did? It’s a real kick in the teeth for the taxpayer to pick up her pension of $143k for life for being an abusive person. What's wrong with private schools? Lots of us went to them, lots of us didn't... The pension, t...

I suspect that's why they're asking for an internal reference...

Wouldn't it be better to take people directly from their flight to a 'quarantine hotel', and not let them out until they pass a PCR test here? That way, airport hotels get a guaranteed clientele for a number of days, and Canadian testing labs get an economic boost also..

Payette is truly the outlier. Between the accidents, domestic disputes and being a terrible boss, I really have no idea how these character traits weren't picked up during the selection process. Its not like they have a shortage of candidates, and at that level, pilot license, PhD, multiple languag...

Dude, I think that you're putting the cart in front of the horse here. I'm sure that NASA wouldn't have allowed either Garneau or Payette anywhere near the shuttle or the ISS had they showed the slightest hint of incompetence. Any of their shortcomings in public office probably stem from being ill-e...

The lancet? Wait were they not the publisher of that famed junk science article linking autism with vaccinations? And did they take years to publish a retraction even though the author was basically outed for lying? Yes. They are one in the same. I have no trust in the lancet After numerous years s...

I'm neither an anti-vaxxer, nor a covid-denier, but I'm going to take my chances (unless work 'forces' me to do so...) with not getting the vaccine for a few months yet. The whole 'not buying the 'A' model of anything' dictum comes to mind. I'd like to see a few 100,000 people get it first without a...

Usually (at crew's discretion), no headset above 10 000' in good radio reception areas. There is no hot mic intercom in the 767s (as far as I have seen). You can use pretty much whatever you want. If you have over-ears headset, you usually have one ear out on your partner's side for cockpit communi...

The big question is if AC and WJ even want actual support. Financially. I imagine they for sure want the 14 day quarantine lifted but as for money, WJ is backed by ONEX and AC has quite a bit of cash on hand. Any government support would end up having to be equal among all carriers (Because of soci...

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 of...

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!)
