I hate government policy that has built the canadian economy explicitly on continuously rising home prices, not on building things, and what that is doing to the next generation. All to buy retiree votes and stay in power.

Enthusiastically voted for , by boomers.

I couldn't agree with you more on the first point, however, your irrational hate of a demographic of the society based solely on their birthdate is beyond irrational and bordering on bigotry.

Any sensible person knows that boomers, or any other generation for that matter voted for a variety of parties, didn't dictate policy and in reality were just trying to make their way through life like the rest of us.

You sound like you have been exposed to too many division campaigns and not to enough critical thinking skills.

Not a good look for a pilot bud.

Don't worry rookie, you'll have much bigger problems soon. We're on a fast track to 100 million Canadians (with a majority from a particular southeast Asian country), so buckle up! You'll be pining for the days where a scabby woman on a plane was the worst of your woes. But hey, those property values sure do keep going up! Boomers are richer than ever!

I would gladly trade a loss on my property value to prevent the above, I’m with you though, my general thoughts towards Canadian values is, they no longer exist.

Ha! And yes, some of us can copy and paste.

I am curious— what part of my paragraph is factually wrong?

Open to interpretation

First of all, it’s entirely factually wrong because you started it with, “you are like”, therefore you we describing how you think I feel, which non of it was correct, other than the part where I said people don’t give a rats ass about other people.
And yes ChatGPT, my views are shaped by my experiences!

But its fine to say I hate boomers? (Not the case) Or AC pilots? Or any other labels?

Hate the behaviour, not people.

Hyprocrisy is a good look.

I like you.

Maybe.

What does a pilot do when he suspects something might be wrong with his plane? He doesn't fly it until he's confident that what could be nothing really is nothing. Is that puddle of fuel an innocent overflow from a vent? Could well be, but you'll damn sure check before you get airborne. Is the marginal weather forecasted on the GFA really going to end up affecting you? If you're not an idiot, you're going to err on the side of caution and wait it out.

What do cabin crew do when they're in doubt about the health and safety of the passengers whose safety they're paid to ensure? They don't close the door and go zooming along at thousands of feet and hundreds of knots locked in a tube with a potentially contagious person and a couple of hundred other, innocent passengers in tow, that's what. And if you think that cabin crew (or any other customer facing roles) are given the time and resources to fully, completely check things out at their leisure, you've clearly never worked at an airline. When in doubt, you pick the option that doesn't risk potentially getting dozens of people, including yourself, sick.

There'll always be a later flight for the passenger who needs to be left behind due to safety concerns.

Thanks for articulating that so well, I’m seeing on the news this morning that MPOX is being looked at for being considered a worldwide epidemic and I imagine based on what MPOX looks like this person was potentially infected with it.

You should definitely get vaccinated. The “experts” recommend it.

The answer is, its quicker. Its a self service world without staff, easier to assume everyone is a liar, or not even listen to their problems, genuine or not.

You should see Westjet Twitter. Trends constantly. Can’t get anyone on the phone, ever.

Low fares aren’t everything. Not to me , anyway.
