Re: Truckers convoy

So, you're OK with the Trudeau foundation, associated with a sitting PM, getting a ton of funding from overseas.

This is the type of company I want to work for. [RANT]

So, I've been sending out resumes to various companies - in response to posted jobs - over the last year or so. For background, I'm not a laid off airline guy, have a decent amount/mix of time (7500TT, 5000PIC, 4000Multi, IFR, Floats, Jet etc..) Am I being entitled or old-fashioned to think that I s...

Re: CYNJ Prolonged Dispute and Airport Shutdown

a brief precis, for those of us not in the know? NOTAMs show 07/25 closed, use as a taxiway only, or for rotary takeoff only. is there some sort of silly p**ing match between a FTU and the rest of the users?
