Re: Love Letter to WestJet Employees

As a fellow freeman, I cannot remain silent any longer. My transition to this utopian lifestyle was not one I took lightly. I was summoned to the world of Freemanism on a particularly cold April day, when a can of damaged beans that I had found outside of a Safeway began to speak to me. The can of b...

First Air 767 Arrives in YOW

I wouldn't have believed it unless I saw it. Great to see a little optimism in Canadian Aviation, I hope it works well for the company and marks the beginning of positive trend upward for the entire industry.

Re: Health Hazard Warning

Glass houses on the intelligent comments remark.

I'd prefer to make sure my kids weren't huffing anything instead of just tossing out the stuff that'll kill them. Apparently we're not supposed to let them have unsupervised access to cold medicine anymore either.

Re: Health Hazard Warning

SO I have to start throwing out things in case my kids want to huff them? Come on.
You will also want to toss out your Motorcylces, cars, draino, knives, and toaster ovens. They also can kill teenagers.

You might be a freight dog if... Your airplane was getting old when you were born. You have not done a daylight landing in the past six months. ATC advises you of smoother air at a different altitude, and you don't care. When you taxi up to an FBO they roll out the red carpet, but quickly take it b...

Gleim is all you need. And your Canadian texts are fine too for theory of flight, met, and the general nav stuff. As for your situation, are you able to work in both countries? If so, it still depends on what you want. Definitely more jobs in the states, but the lifestyle varies greatly. Good luck!

TOFO? Now now, that's demeaning to every village idiot out there. I think the village idiot term comes with some endearing qualities.

I am embarrassed to say that I applied for this job.
I am not embarrassed to say that if I am asked to pay money up front, I will turn it down.

Are you for real?

I always understood that global warming didn't necessarily mean warm everywhere, but greater variations and larger extremes to these variations.
