Re: Transat got a sweet deal

I also find it interesting how quiet this subject has been. There is hardly any news about this, and no commentary from other airline CEO's. When the Trudeau Liberals gave Bombardier a $372.5 million repayable loan, it was all over the news. Transat gets $380 million in debt taken off its balance s...

Re: 5 pilots on 737 laid off

AC pay and pay system is the most Fd up compensation system I have ever experienced in my career… Yeah why is like that? My PIT started near the end of the month and I didn't receive any payment until like 6 weeks later. Make sure you have enough saved for rent for the first couple of months or you...

Re: Not surprised...

They are laying off pilots because they secured a new charter contract? Is the contract for dry leases?

Re: Having issues with Medical?

Talk about overreach. Professional pilots are trustworthy people and will tell their CAME if they are experiencing symptoms or health problems. TC's mandate is to process medicals submitted by CAMEs. They can't even handle the cases they do have, and now they are chasing pilots to get additional pre...

Access to the American domestic air travel market would be a boon for any airline.

What's succession? Everyone makes grammatical errors, even lawyer types. In my experience, if pilots made as many small mistakes as lawyers there would be a lot of aircraft off the end of runways.

Re: When Albert separate, will it keep Canadian licensing or go the FAA route?

It largely depends on what happens after secession. If Alberta seperates it's highly likely it will join the United States. Their airspace will become United States airspace then and therefore fall under FAA administration.

Getting the public to cut down on using air travel for carbon reasons is straight out of his book. That's not a euphemism, he wrote it in his book.

Does helicopter maintenance track takeoff and landing cycles like airplanes or just total hours? Those sight seeing choppers live a hard life.

He's only in it for himself, and this would be an on-brand move. Hi...

I don't think it's thread drift. There is a clear path posted for these to be converted into water bombers one day by putting them on floats.

He wants Canada. A Liberal party will fight him, lose, cripple the country, and have Alberta demanding to be the 51st State. A Conservative party wouldn't give him the enemy necessary.
