Re: Layoffs
Even the most conservative investor could have easily lost 50% of their portfolio. The stock market as a whole lost 70% in value so actually the average person who didn't sell anything lost 70%. This has nothing to do with volatility, it is a crash. Yikes, where did you get your MBA? Everest colleg...

Re: Layoffs
If I could give a guy who owns a L39, some B1 passes to retire, I would. But surely you can just buy the tickets. 10k is a lot, but not when you have millions. My dad lost $700k in the stock market in this. Worked so hard his whole life (not airlines). Total Alberta blue collar work horse Deserves ...

Re: Cold Weather Corrected Missed Approach Altitude
Pretty clearly explained in the CAP. It’s not if you’re in a radar environment, BUT on radar vectors. Pilots "should" not shall. cold temp corrections are not law, they are a recommendation. I personally think they are useless 99% of the time. The only time you actually have a chance of being saved...

Re: CBC Called Out by Air Canada Social Media
I was surprised that Air Canada didn't censor "bullshit". Had to double check and make sure that facebook page was the real one. I don't care, profanity doesn't bother me. But still, I don't know if this was the most professional move on Air Canada's part and if it will accomplish anything. Clearly,...

Re: Defering a job offer.
I defered my job offer for bond/contract reasons. On my initial phone call in April 2017, I told them I was only available to start in September/October due to my bond. (Had to give 90 days notice in order to not pay anything on a pro-rated 36,000$ Learjet 70 bond, and they guy I work for is a real ...

Re: Reference Contact
Don't worry, it can take anywhere from a few days to a few weeks. They called mine a few days after my sim but some of my friends have had it take 2 weeks and more.
Either way, from what I've seen no news is good news.

Re: Suggestions on flying while going to University?
If you haul ass, you can get done in less time, i.e. do full-time summer course loads. One of the perks of living in "La Belle Province" is my university education cost me about what I paid for my PPL. Amen to that, i'm orignally from Montreal hence my username. And thanks to everyone for the advic...

Re: Suggestions on flying while going to University?
As an engineering graduate (Mechanical, aerospace/control sys) let me warn you that working in a job that is not a "beer fund" job during your studies is going to be very, very difficult. Not impossible, but very close. Mechanical engineering is one of the most difficult and demanding undergraduate...
