Re: Diabetes paranoia - in desperate need of guidance
Would it be type 2 diabetes?
Go on the carnivore diet. It reverses type 2 after a few months of being pure carnivore.

Mayhaps. Yet drugs are illegal, and you can still get them anywhere and in a rapid fashion, including pure Colombian white gold. Where there is a will, there is a way.

Re: Ural 320 forced landing in a field (Russia) 12 September 2023
According to the BBC article on the incident, they're saying that videos have been seen of heavy equipment dismantling the aircraft in the field - chopping it into pieces. Seems rather hasty... A video on social media showed a heavy digger then dismembering the plane, lopping off the cockpit, tail ...

Re: New lockdowns ever - Climate / Inflation, but labelled Covid?
Too many people still watching the 6 o'clock "news entertainment", and they haven't killed off enough seniors to make Social Security and the CPP financially sustainable yet. Yes, very possible that lockdowns return.

Re: Embraer Legacy 600 business jet shot down in Russia - Prigozhin on passenger list
So much copium and hopium on social media. People are viscerally invested in ANYTHING that makes Russia look bad - even more so than during the cold war. Look at the reaction to the "coup that wasn't", both before it was shown that it was a fake, and after. The next few days will show whether this w...

Drove past the airport the following morning, wreckage was already removed. It was C-GFFG, a Lachute aviation aircraft. Attached is approximate location of wreckage. Winds that day were from the West, gusty. I saw a picture of the site and it appeared a low energy, wing level impact, tail boom was b...

100% job security is not a modern reality. There is always risk. That's what we do as aviators, we mitigate risk. Which risk is greater for you? Running out of money, having your couple life suffer from AIDS, or something else? Big Red, Teal Team, Googly Eyes or whomever you fly for, just make your ...

Ok cool, an EB2-NIW work visa only costs around $30kUSD in lawyer fees, and the cost to convert to an FAA ATPL is another 8k, good luck!

Re: WestJet breaks collective agreement with pilots.
Every WG pilot I've discussed this merger with is 100% behind WJ pilots in their negotiations with WJ mgmt. They do not wish to get involved and generally agree there is little if any capacity to do "scab labour" within the WG network. Most European dry-leases are already gone and the C-reg have als...

Re: Did AC stop flying to Havana?
I thought Cuba was verboten for employee travel. I had no idea that was not allowed, as long as it doesn't originate to/from the USA. I thought I did see it a while ago (YYZ-HAV). None the less I may be wrong. Good to know. I do recall seeing in the print timetable, once a week using a Rouge 321, j...
