A degree might help with your grammar. What's wrong with your sentence?

Re: I was genuinely embarrassed for them

Couldn't believe this. There I was on a gorgeous day up in the flight levels, not a cloud in sight, when a flight checks in with ATC not far from my position and requests a block of altitudes. Now, bear in mind that this airline checking in exclusively flies a type that's well known for its docile ...

Re: Cabin crew

At Air Canada I have been called just prior to pushback plenty of times by the cabin crew to advise me there was a passenger in the washroom. In the grand scheme of things, no big deal, let them have a relaxing pee. It usually only takes a couple of minutes. The flight attendant should have let the ...

I don't think I'm that far off... Here goes... 4th year day/night blended rate on the EMJ is about $157 or so? a little over $140K is the least you're going to make as a 4th year EMJ captain if you only get the 900 hour annual guarantee... you can count on that as minimum.

Finally, it is obvious he was trying to sneak in below clouds but was totally lost, showing a severe lack of situation awareness... With all the nav-aids available...He had NO business to be where he was. All he had to do is power up, climb away and sort things up, get aligned and land...but noooo....

Re: I did some math concerning our ESP...

As we approach the end of 2015 I thought I would resurrect this thread. I am interested to know how everyone has made out with their investments this past year. It's not been a good year for the stock market. So far the TSX is down almost 10%. The S&P500 and the DJIA are both down about 3%. I have b...
