Re: Return of the Jump seat??!!

That is a change from previous policy and it does allow pilots from other airlines the opportunity to jumpseat. A valid RAIC is proof of employment. I suspect you'll start to see policies change in teh near future to allow OAL pilots flight deck jumpseat access. However, the caveat has always been,...

Re: Air Canada / Westjet cut service to sun destinations and additional quarantine measures announced

Another example of a dude with anger management issues who hopefully 🙏 isn’t in the pointy end of a commercial airliner flying people around. Dad, you have already used the same tired and scathing rebuttal today. Can you explain why an individual with a differing opinion of your own is unfit to fly...

Re: Air Canada Hires Influencers Promoting Travel Amid Non-Essential travel Ban

Not sure I get your question. Is understanding that you get Covid from other people your idea of fear? I understand we get covid from other people but I don't share the same beliefs as you. Such beliefs as masks should be mandatory, lock-downs should be implemented, or most importantly the belief t...

Re: Service Suspension Notice

Mbav8r, I appreciate the well thought out post. I don’t have data on how long surgeries etc were delayed in the past. It might very well be longer delays now then previously. But the comparisons to delays from past years is never made, as far as I can tell. The articles currently seem to be about d...

For the last year in Manitoba routine surgery procedures have been delayed or cancelled for most of it, I believe they resumed for a 3 month per...

Mbav8r I’ll get back to you on the updated studies. We just got a new puppy yesterday. In regards to New Zealand. I can’t say lockdowns didn’t work maybe they did. What I can say is that I don’t know if that is the reason the numbers fell. Do you have any evidence that it was the lockdown that was ...

Re: Service Suspension Notice

Cancel culture is a problem right now on society and take a moment of what you are writing and reading to actually ask yourself " is it possible I may be wrong?" There is absolutely nothing dangerous, harmful, or ill-willed about asking questions about what we are doing as a country. It's Infact mo...

Re: Service Suspension Notice

The fact that you have no idea why schools need to be open shows how narrow minded and brain washed you really are. Canadian male youths are 14 times more likely to die from suicide than COVID-19. That’s using case fatality rate. Using infection fatality rate (the only one that truly matters) that ...

Re: Service Suspension Notice

I’m not going to jump on the let’s just let 75 year olds die because they are old. The question is, is the lockdown policy effective, and does it impact overall health related issues in other negative ways. Please reference a study that shows how much higher deaths are with no lockdown policy. Othe...

Re: Service Suspension Notice

I've got a pretty firm grip on statistics groundedjerry. A full 90% of the victims of Covid are over 70 and most are in their 80's......and the last time I checked, 70-75 was a "pretty good run". You've pretty much "done what you're gonna do". So what do we do in 2060 when we have a virus runs thro...

340,000,000 / 400,000 = 1 in 850 people I wouldn't claim that as even a minor dent. Canada just doesn't have it's $hit together. All we're good at is making tax dollars vanish....hundreds and hundreds of billions. Pray to whatever God you have that interest rates stay low for our nation's sake. Her...

Re: Air Canada Hires Influencers Promoting Travel Amid Non-Essential travel Ban

Countries like Australia and New Zealand are islands which make it easier to isolate as well. We live in a country that requires hundreds of thousands of border crossings a month with the USA in order for us to survive/ eat / have any economy. We can close our border to international travellers but...

355 positive cases result in 1900 contacts, what multiple would you use to get the real percentage of people who ignore public health orders and perpetuate the situation we’re in?

We faithfully follow SOPs in our flying career even when we might disagree with parts of that SOP. No. I don’t go out except for groceries. I haven’t seen my children or grand children for 10 months. No, I don’t go to Costco. No, I don’t shop online. No, I don’t order food for delivery. These are j...

Re: Should Canadian airlines stop flights to UK, New covid strain.

What we're seeing is the evolution of cancel culture. Everyone latching on just loves to be part of the "in" crowd clique mindset and shit on anyone with a different view, even a fairly reasoned one. It's a fucking clown world. Drive by Christmas lights cancelled? Drive in movies cancelled? How doe...
