The blame game is important because it holds people accountable. The onus is on the Chinese government to keep this from happening again. Good luck with enforcing that! How about we all just accept that regardless of how this one started, or who's actually responsible, the onus is on us to ensure t...

Is this guy still worth $14 million a year?

LOL.

Apparently not: https://www.bombardier.com/en/media/new ... ercom.html

Gotta say +1 for Dr. Gillmore. He's been my CAME for 15 years now, and he's quick, efficient, thoroughly professional, and usually has a good joke or funny anecdote ready to boot. Good guy - highly recommended.

Debt collectors don't have the power to go after your credit rating, just harass you and threaten you. That depends on what you mean by "going after your credit rating". Licensed collection agencies do in fact report assigned accounts to the various credit bureaus: it's one more way of pressuring d...

Hahaha, "insurance will just pay", funniest thing I've read today. That's not their business. Actually, my wife and I had to cancel a Caribbean vacation last year about a week before departure, for medical reasons. Fortunately, we had purchased travel insurance. The claims process was straightforwa...

Sorry, but no: a creditor (in this case, the employer) is not required to obtain a judgment before assigning a debt (in this case, the employee bond) to a collection agency. Note that this does not mean a court would necessarily rule the bond to be enforceable, should recovery efforts include litig...

How would not paying out your bond trash a credit rating? Company goes to a collection agency. I admit my knowledge of this is fairly limited, but isn't that only the case after they get a court order? So they would have to prove to a judge the bond is valid. Then, if you still refuse to pay, a col...

Saab guy, I don't need to give you examples since it was just my observation while being employed in the industry with many companies and on contract and seeing how some companies defer often, have multiple ( many) U/S systems on overwater flights, recurring snags that are continually signed off as...

My intent with the post was to refer to A/C that did not have an MMEL and also to give an example of some airlines who abuse the MMEL. Terrific, except that you haven't actually provided any examples of airlines that misuse the MMEL process - you've just made a fairly serious but completely unsubst...

Not in 705 operations, there aren't. Nor in heavies crossing the Atlantic, as was claimed above.

In a perfect world, all airworthiness defects would be rectified, NO question,,,,, I do NOT like to do maintenance with unrectified airworthiness related "snags" I have worked for companies that had heavies crossing the atlantic with MANY multiple MEL deferred unserviceabilities. Aircraft manufactu...

I was fortunate to have attended a 2002 dinner in Burlington where Haynes was the keynote speaker and gave a riveting presentation on the accident (versions are available on YouTube for those interested). A consummate professional who gave full credit to his crew in improvising quick solutions to a ...

Why is this CEO getting more money, and indirectly funded by the taxpayer, than almost every single member of the S&P 500 -- virtually all of whom are highly successful companies, that make loads of actual profits? He's not. Bellemare's 2018 compensation was unchanged at US$10.63 million. That puts...

In simple English, there’s a price to be paid for contact cancellations, no matter whose corner you’re in. Now it’s time for the politics of taxpayer accountability. https://www.thestar.com/news/gta/2019/04/25/ttc-bombardier-reach-settlement-over-delayed-streetcars.html . Assuming the Star's covera...

Allrighty, then, that's a bit more like it: https://www.cbc.ca/news/world/disruptive-passenger-fined-1.5202603 "A man whose behaviour on a Hawaiian Airlines flight to South Korea forced it to return to Honolulu has been ordered to pay the air carrier more than $172,000 US.

There is no growth possibilities with the Typhoon. It wouldn't last us until 2070. And at 90M Pounds (that' CA$153M!!!) it's hardly a good bang for the buck... Kuwait's needs are much different than ours... I wonder why most countries are buying F-35s 🤷‍♂️. Are there any other 5th gen fighters that...

Thanks, Beech 18 - I always look forward to your month-end posts on forgotten aircraft, remote strips, and so on. Keep 'em coming!

Lol seriously. Why is this a post. Go outside pelmet. Well, let's see. For starters, AvCanada is an aviation forum, last I checked, and the post related to an incident involving an aircraft. Pretty hard to argue the relevance of the post, or for that matter the OP's prerogative to post it. Continui...

Did I ever say I wanted to fly MB Airplanes? No. I asked about various companies pay. Pay attention jack ass. Not cool. Actually you asked 3 convoluted questions in your original post. One of which was: Do you apply to Airspray or is it the European owner or whatever that runs the show? which was a...
