Re: Who Wants to Fly WJ
Do you think management will backtrack the seat pitch decision after the public backlash or will their egos prevent them from admitting that they made a mistake?

Re: Having issues with Medical?
Good luck to you LR2000, it could be years. I highly suggest obtaining your full file via an ATIP request and read every word.
At this point I hope Trump just buys Canada from the Indigenous peoples.

Re: Temporary 'Foreign' Pilots??
I wish we could try old fashioned democracy where you actually need to get real supporters who like you instead of importing voters or bribing old people with real estate bubbles.

Re: Medical privacy disclosure
If you read Mark Carney's book you will see he has a personal hatred of commercial aviation for climate change reasons. It would not surprise me if this is part of a multi-pronged government approach to try to impact Canadian airlines. At a minimum it is further move towards a UK style nanny state g...

Re: Strike outcome desires
$2900 per month is not a livable wage. Anyone that voted for that should feel bad for what they did to their junior colleagues while enriching themselves. It's shameful behaviour.

Re: Bad training experience has made me question finishing
I believe you can do it. I suggest you follow through or else you will always regret not finishing. While it might seem daunting just break it down in small steps and complete the steps in order. Have a general plan on how you are going to accomplish each step and a realistic idea of what date you w...

Re: Westjet 737 Gear collapse in SXM today
They used Boeing pilots for the test flight? I've had AMEs instruct me to do ridiculous things for test flights, and during ground engine run ups. It's up to the pilot to decide what the best course of action is for a flight not the engineers. That said I don't think doing the test flight and landin...

Impressive stuff. I'm sure the engineers didn't mind working in St. Martin for a couple months instead of Iqaluit.

Re: All Survive Crash Of Historic Goose Amphib
That's a surprisingly candid article. The public usually never finds out those kinds of details. Probably because of the risk of a lawsuit from the terminated employee.

Re: Bad training experience has made me question finishing
Honestly if I hadn't have dumped so much money into it (and caused a lot of grief at work with days off, and projects on hold due to studying for exams) I would walk away. People have a tendency to continue an endeavor once an investment in money, effort, or time has been made. This is called Sunk ...

Flight disruption warning as Airbus requests modifications to 6,000 planes
About 6,000 aircraft worldwide are thought to be affected, all of them of the A320 family, which also includes the A319 and A321 models. According to Airbus, the majority can be fixed with a relatively simple software update. However, some 900 older planes will need replacement computers, and will h...

Why Altiplano even entertained responding I think this is what people find so annoying about big boomer energy.

I've noticed boomers get extremely defensive when you point out how cheap housing was back then. I think they sense something in the air coming their way.

Re: New digital tower in Kingston
The US has laid off 10% of its entire workforce so far this year. I don't think people fully realize what's coming. In a short while any job that can be done by advanced software (AI) will no longer exist. A tiny fraction of the workforce will remain to monitor this software's performance. This isn...

Re: Emirates after AC
The average cost of a house in Toronto in 1993 was $206k. Mortgage payments on that house (at 8.8% interest) used 38% of the $48k median income. To afford the average house in Toronto using 38% of income for mortgage payments would require an income of $142k. Definitely more than the median income,...
