@photofly, Are you saying there is nothing to learn from this incident? There are no new ways to damage / crash an airplane. Every one that happens these days, has been tried before. There are no new lessons to be learned, only lessons to be re-taught because folks didn't clue in, or missed the cla...

You know it's bad when they're offering a nice cabin to the commoners. It's an admission that the loads on those routes will be light, so instead of clocking the cycles and hours onto the higher capacity airframes, they are going to get some utilization of the lower capacity machines, hopefully pos...

Yet Trudeau pays for the lowest economy class ticket for use of a challenger or A310.......anybody else see something wrong here? When our national security folks wont let the prime minister travel on public transit, then unless you have a more constructive suggestion, why make a big issue out of i...

An interesting strategy. Sold 9 of the max to leasing companies, and kept them with long term lease.

But what about the fact that recency is a rolling gate of your last N flights/hours? If you fly multiple aircraft, how do you show recency if you only have the log for the aircraft you're in at the time? You are confusing 'most recent' with 'recency requirements'. It is now September. If I have pap...

I'm curious, what kind of plane was it, and where did you get fuel up there ?

Don't overthink it. You're not a tourist, you're acting in the course of your employment as a pilot. That is correct, but, it does NOT apply to the folks in the back. What do you mean? Pilots in the back are also exempt. The folks riding in the back of a corp jet are not typically pilots, they are ...

But of course the British are a bunch of reckless people who do not protect their citizens like Canada does.......

Actually AT LEAST 2 centuries ago.

In fact, the E6B in it's current form was developed in the 30's. So the wiz wheel is between 80 and 90 years old, a far cry from 2 centuries.

I personally am okay with the idea that if I make a mess that I should help clean it up, so a carbon tax seems like a soft approach When the first round of pandemic help was announced, a huge chunk of cash was directed to cleaning up abandoned wells in Alberta. That money needs to come from somewhe...

The article I saw said it was during taxi.

You clearly don’t fucking get it!

He gets it, he just doesn't give a shit. It's easy in a time like this to see who actually GAS about neighbors, and who lives in the 'its all about me, screw the rest of you' kind of world.

If I was running an airline, I would let people choose for themselves. If they want to wear a mask, then just wear it. If they don't want to, then they shouldn't be forced to. I wouldn't tolerate the "mask police", they will get kicked off my my flight with no refund policy. My message to the mask ...

I look at science Do you have copies of any peer reviewed papers on the subject? Or are you just repeating what you read online that others call 'the science'. Some interesting numbers these days. Something to take note of, Richmond has a population demographic that is pre-disposed to wearing masks...

220% of 5% is 11%... you're dreaming if you think that brings more airplane orders... There needs to be a marked recovery.

It came back when the movie Finding Nemo came out. The turtles saw to that.

Second the best thing Canadian airlines could do is all stop operating the same day and if they are an “essential service” the. Government would be forced to do something. The government has already facilitated a multi billion dollar interest free loan for the airlines in the form of 'no refunds'. ...
