I'm sure that they got their ducks in a row wrt visas/immigration before putting the job up

Once around the patch in a 415:

^ I believe that might be the same guy.. I met a great guy - funny jokes, appealing personality, good work ethic - in training many years ago who was vegetized a few years later by an old cowboy captain in a northern crash with very similar circumstances to this accident. Younger/new pilots: Your ca...

How do you define 'productive'? Lots of Wall/Bay St whizzkids out there (Martin Shkreli comes to mind!) who are, imo, a drain on society; the Gordon Lightfoots of this world, on the other hand, will be a great loss...

I'd go even one better, and say no medevacs on the backside of the clock - say, between 0200 and 0500. Everyone can do a late night; everyone can do an early morning, but I do wonder about those 0300 calls...

Foment a pseudo insurrection against a duly elected government, get arrested for doing so, get granted bail, break those bail conditions, *and then* whine about going back to jail??!!

Play silly games, etc...

It's not a grey area. You have an obligation as the captain to remove yourself from duty if you're not fit. End of story. Yes it's tough to do, but it's your ethical and professional obligation. No different than the engineer who's client wants him to sign off on something not safe. That's what one...

What 'specialized nature' would that be, the rum 'n sun vacations from northern climates, or the most popular shorthaul jetliner in existence?

Wow, savvy political commentary from a group of people whose idea of racing is a series of equal left turns powered by the technological sophistication of a pushrod V8

Same as the old one, but with 'NEW!' pasted in front of it?

Is it really a bad government, though? What are the metrics for that? How do we shape up compared to the rest of the G7 countries? I honestly don't know, and am asking. Or is this just a reactionary thread run by people who are pissed off about the price of gas and woke signalling? I will concede th...

Seems to me lots of company’s in the states are drafting Canadian talent. Just heard of two more guys in my circle headed south of the border. I left, y'all can have Trudeau and the s*** hole he created. One could, of course, argue that the 's***hole' was actually created by the opposition parties,...

I'm not sure that I see the sinister conspiracy here? Random selection, complete at home or pharmacy within 24 hours, no suggestion of any sanctions for testing positive, and the government gets info on new strains of C19. I'd argue that since the whole thing was started by travel spread from other ...

What, exactly, is an energy lockdown? Who would it benefit, and why?

I wouldn't be too worried - you're probably 1.5 to 2 years away from the job market, so whatever turbulence comes down the pipe should be done by then..

While it might be too late in my career to take advantage of working for an American carrier, I have just opened a twitter account, and have fired off a couple of tweets to the US Secretary of Transport (Pete Buttigieg) and to the VP Flight Ops of Envoy suggesting that a partial solution to staffing...

^ More relevant - does that still fall under the flat pay deal?

Canada really needs to realize that having an open border policy and allowing so many people to move/work here so easily, combined with how terrible/lacklustre our economy is, will continue to suppress wages in nearly every industry . Isn't that the point, though? I get a laugh out of people slammi...
