It was never his objective to create more pilot jobs.....ever. We were burried somewhere in "operational costs" during the expansion process. We were never more special than that. In addition, there was no favour. More jobs occurred out of necessity, nothing more. We would be cut loose tomorrow if ...

Just....wow. I think that is one of the better-written posts this site has ever seen. Well done.

Because we don't all fly for the airlines, smart guy. I don't fly for the traveling masses looking for the cheapest ticket possible. I have been up until Covid, flying for one family. So spare me your eye rolling. If an airline were to do as you suggest people would quit flying with them and they'd...

One of the reasons the recent fires in Australia were so bad is these same Environmentalists did not allow controlled burns of the dead undergrowth. This is extremely beneficial as it allows new growth. These people appear to not know how Oxygen is produced.. We need to stop listening to these peop...

If an airline were to do as you suggest people would quit flying with them and they'd go bankrupt, free market at work. Maybe that's what will happen to Westjet over this, if so, so be it. Most likely what will happen is a few people will bitch and bellyache, swear never to fly Westjet again then i...

The Washington Post? Seriously Ray? I thought you're blood ran slightly blue. There isn't a more left-leaning, democratic, far-left leaning liberal rag in the entire U.S.A. Oh, FFS, this crap again? Here's the coverage in that paragon of journalistic integrity, Fox News: https://www.foxbusiness.com...

This thread went off topic long ago and has been going strong on the current one for pages. You're a coward lacking the balls (or the brains) to think this thing through and answer a couple of extremely relevant questions. I also only call racists "racists", not everyone on this thread. Racists can...

Guess all that you like because you are a narcissistic jerk. :oops: I guess my last post hit a little close to home. Sorry to have embarrassed you. :goodman: Look, there's no shame in the fact that you're still living in your parents' basement playing with flight sims and making airplane noises. Lo...

You are probably also an advanced student of basket weaving. :? Possibly. On the other hand, based on your own posting history here, it really isn't clear what you studied. It clearly wasn't English. Or political science. Or Law. Or history. Or philosophy. Or common sense. I'm guessing it probably ...

“Tinfoil hat” is the colloquial name for the hat, not the material it’s made of. Here’s a handy reference to help you construct one. You REALLY need it. https://matmatch.com/blog/engineering-the-ideal-tinfoilhat/ You are probably also an advanced student of basket weaving. :? Possibly. On the other...

So you also support criminal activity. No wonder society is breaking down and police and being murdered in the streets. Law and order is not one of your strengths, comrade. You might be more comfortable if you loosened your tinfoil hat a bit........ https://images.glaciermedia.ca/polopoly_fs/1.2414...

If you go back and read Rockies comments that took this thread of course. He not only implied someone was white for no reason. He also implied they were racist with no evidence whatsoever. He displayed a predetermined bias toward this individual, which is the basis of racism. Which should stir ange...

According to your text only if: a suit, action, litigation or arbitration or other legal proceeding (including any civil, criminal, administrative or appellate proceeding) has commenced, been brought or is conducted or heard by or before any Governmental Entity Has that happened? Is anyone bringing...

Of course the ability to do that depends on putting our house back in order between emergencies. Our failure to do that is our own fault for our unwillingness to accept a little hardship and bank surpluses to pay down debt. At the end of the day politicians only do what we want, even if we like to ...

You’re not worth deep thought. Where is Jack Handy these days? Wait, are you using 2 accounts? Is tsgas and tsgarp 2 different people? multiple personalities? Unclear. I am, however, curious about why a guy who has been on here for 16 years with 80-odd posts just overnight becomes a complete and to...

So she gets results, but they're invalid because of her beliefs? yikes, sounds like an ideology to me... The video in which she appeared was taken down because she is...what's the expression: bat-crap crazy? Look no further than her tweet posted July 27th: "Stella Immanuel MD @stella_immanuel Hello...

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. You are assuming that those who own shares want to sell them. Even if you see that the shares are listed at $5, it does not mean there are any ...

For myself, I know I would much rather have my last days/months shortened but spent with my family and friends, than extended by being locked down in solitary confinement. After all, in our current society, isn't solitary the most extreme punishment we can use in our penal system? Solitary As quote...

Of course Ray still hasn't indicated whether he took this case on a contingency deal or not. Just spitballing here, but perhaps he thinks it's none of your business? I mean, if you were one of his clients, you'd already know the answer and you wouldn't be on here beaking off with a bunch of innuend...

Also, the consequences of getting sick in Italy are disastrous. Exactly. There's an important point to consider too in that alot of travel insurance companies are not covering if you get ill from covid-19 while abroad. Which, ironically, is what they should be doing if they want to keep selling tra...

I'm not remotely surprised that few media outlets are reporting Kenny's address to legislature. It doesn't fit their "fear model" and indefinite lockdown agenda. You certainly won't find it on any CBC related material. Ahem: https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/edmonton/jason-kenney-alberta-covid-19-cost...

Those conditions are not materially different than those borrowers face in typical corporate credit facilities, excepting the climate disclosure language which I agree is politically motivated - I'm surprised we didn't see equity employment reporting included "Because it's 2015". We had an election...

I interpret it as not wanting the government support which comes with too many onerous conditions. One of the statements during the announcements, companies need to consider government as 'lender of last resort', and they stated a company should exhaust all regular avenues of financing first. A sec...

Patience, Grasshopper.
The fact that you don't understand what we do doesn't mean nothing is being done.

Pelmet........remember that someone with over 7700 posts on AvCanada has not much else to do than post on AvCanada. He likes to read his own opinion. Speaks volumes. Rockie's 1.46 posts/day is roughly equivalent to your own 1.55 posts/day. He has just been active here a lot longer than you have - i...
