it was always the stories like the one you mentioned where someone was 95% of the way there, and then shown the door. Event's like those are VERY very rare in reality. There's far more success stories in qualifications that no one hears about. It's the vocal minority that feel the need to stand on ...

It's feels like TC is trying to kill off aviation with a death by 1000 cuts. Part of me actually believes this is true and there is a liberal conspiracy to harm aviation for environmentalist reasons. Hanlon's Razor suggests it's incompetence though and not intentional. Carney has said publicly that...

I would certainly be sending out resumes and doing road trips when you can to keep building contacts. As winter sets in up north turnover can happen fast. The company under promising still leaves room for them to over deliver, I'd rather this than having them constantly say "maybe tomorrow". The on...

Empress has always had ups and downs, that's the nature of charter work. I haven't heard if its 737 crews, or ATR, or a mix being hit. Porter is hiring 400 more pilots, AC is still going, as are Jazz and Encore, so the folks getting layoff should be getting picked up quick hopefully. It's amazing h...

A study in why Canadian aviation can’t rely on commodity prices and one-time projects. Empress has always had ups and downs, that's the nature of charter work.

If they are still afloat by then

Are y'all not tired of being wrong for close to a decade?

Forklift??? Are you joking? Many here wouldn't trust you with more than a snow shovel for two years. I mean clearly two years slinging bags, while you forget all the hard earned skills, is a great use of professional training. I'm just glad I came into this as a second career and simply laughed at ...

You mean I'm not a good pilot if I drive a forklift for 2 years?

At canadian airports its always very clear where traffic is and atc will follow up with additional instructions anytime an aircraft is really even in your vicinity. ATC in canada always has very positive control and clear Verbiage/instructions for aircraft. Where in the US ground controllers are of...

Why bother even writing this?

Couple of questions. Does CargoJet have a commuting policy and does anyone commute from YYC? Any info helps. Thanks! I've heard they have passes for airlines and you are also able to commute on company aircraft in the jumpseat for work purposes Isn't there a 12 hour gap rule between commuting on a ...

Your post above is irrelevant. Your search was “flight attendant strike”. Google search now curates pictures with flight attendants in it. Try typing in “pilots at flight attendant strike” and you will get photos of pilot strikes and FA strikes. Also, when the news is taking pictures, they want pic...

Why do people always act as if the money disappears into thin air. As if none of that money involves a return on investment, job creation, or tax revenues, and as if none of that money comes from private investors or general consumers who want something better. Renewable and sustainable energy and ...

I saw pilots there. I can only speak for what I saw on TV and what I heard from some FAs but many of the pilots who care were dating the FAs on strike, were the pilots technically working during the dispute? Our union told us we could go, but no visible AC logo... Yeah I saw alpa said no logos so t...

I have a question as an outsider, I was surprised that even though both the pilot and FA group work for the same company, there weren’t really any pilots at the strike? For all the people complaining about section 107, it was weird to see not much solidarity I saw pilots there. I can only speak for...

Does any one know as to where can I take my Cross Qualification test for converting my TC CPL/IR to FAA in
GTA area?. Apparently not at the TC offices. There used to be a place in Mississauga, but can’t find any info.

You're gonna have to go to a test centre in the US!

You can't criticize HR ladies like you couldn't criticize immigration. Until suddenly you could. Trust me, they're next for people to notice their negative impact. Nav Canada has an HR problem if guys are making $400k and they can't get anyone to fill those roles. As an outsider looking in, the pro...

As I stated earlier, the Conservatives government brought in the Free Trade agreement that is saving our economy today. The Liberals(and I would guess the NDP) opposed this. Thank the conservatives for this and your quite possibly your career/standard of living. If it were not for the free trade ag...

One thing is for sure, the FA group is far more tenacious and headstrong (ballsy) than AC pilots can ever dream to be. Your FAs have now made you look like wimps and your sudden capitulation at the wrong time in your own negots are revealing of the inadequacies of your group and the false confidenc...

I specifically said I'd like the provincial government to FUND THE COURTS and build more jails! Guess who never mentioned this? PP. His plans had ZERO mention of allocating funding to the provincial courts which handle nearly 100% of criminal cases... I want change! I want people to be put away, bu...

OK, then, please explain to me what you meant by if they attacked someone I hope it’s someone like you… You voted for the policy, I truly hope that if a repeat offender is let out and harms someone, it is a person that voted for the policy instead of someone who voted against the policy. https://to...

Oh the irony….

Isn’t it ironic that the rule of law and family v...
