GLA-YYZ
I’ve been retired a number of years so am not up to speed on the current duty regs. Today’s GLA-YYZ Air Transat flight had to stop in YUL for fuel. The pilots told the passengers that they couldn’t continue to YYZ without exceeding their duty day so another crew had to be brought in to operate the Y...

Re: Interview dress code
I’ve been retired 5 years so maybe standards have changed, however I’d suggest a suit.
Best of luck.

Re: Porter Airlines shifts restart of flights date to June 29
Is there any actual news about Porter? They're supposed to resume flying on the 11th of February - they must be at least conducting the odd town hall or two by now... I think that unless the federal government gives financial aid to Porter it is unlikely to restart operations on its own. It's more ...

What kind of shape will Porter’s Q400’s be in after sitting for a year in a cold, damp climate?

Re: Porter Airlines shifts restart of flights date to June 29
So what’s the latest about restarting operations? February, spring, summer? Anyone know? Which year? :-) My prediction is a small return to service in June 2021. US travel restrictions will remain in place for the summer. Business travel will remain dormant and disappears during the summer months r...

You say the closest airport to your friend that Westjet serves is 2 hours away. Can she get to her original destination through that airport? I don’t consider a 2 hour drive a hardship.

Re: Porter Problems
What makes me wonder is why Porter have not even tried to run a small operation during COVID. I can understand not operating to it’s 5 US destinations, even though Air Canada is, but there are 16 destinations in Canada that Porter serves. They could try to attempt a reduced service on some of those ...

Re: Air Canada and Transat announce Increased Purchase Price to $18 per Share
If the deal is still ‘live’, which I suspect it’s not, it won’t be for $18/share.

Re: Anyone lost faith in Porter's restart
The word I hear is that if the US/CAN border isn’t open by August 31st, Porter doesn’t plan to restart at all.

Re: Air Canada and Transat announce Increased Purchase Price to $18 per Share
If Air Canada really wanted Transat, instead of paying $18/share, why not go in there today and buy shares at $5? Hmmm, I think I answered my own question.

Curious as to the number seats in the A321neo. What sort of pitch in economy? How high can it get on a full load trans-Atlantic? What’s the cruising Mach number?

Re: Coronavirus Numbers
Because the UK government has closed non COVID related hospital departments and clinics there are 2700 missed cancer diagnoses each week. It’s been 6 weeks now. That’s 16,200 people walking around the UK with cancer that don’t know it.

Re: Coronavirus Numbers
Further to the conversation, life is a balance. For instance, there are approximately 5000 automobile accident deaths each year in Canada. We could reduce that number to close to zero simply by reducing the speed limit to 20 kilometers per hour. We don't reduce the speed limit because it would ruin ...
