Brevity is a valued competence among aviators.

Perhaps true for the little plane pilots

[hithere]

As in fighter jets that Tony flew?

Does anyone know if he could go back to the military? Maybe he could instruct on the F 18

If he can't hold down his AC gig because of his attitude, he isn't suitable for the military.

“Does anyone know if he could go back to the military? Maybe he could instruct on the F 18“

Do you think the Canadian military could do better? Why would they accept back a 60 plus, jaded, argumentative first officer from Air Canada, whose been kick off of several committees and the only pilot booted from our union. I think we know the answer to this one.

Just let this one fade away folks.

Hard to let it fade away if you keep bumping the thread.

Some pilots are a funny lot.

Smart enough to operate complex machines with so many switches that it would overwhelm a swinger on Jeff Epstein's Sex Island yet clueless enough not to understand some basic emotional intelligence.

Pilots quite literally have fireside debates about the appropriate length time to press a fire test button but yet some barely comprehend what it means to be empathetic.

Empathy is the ability to put yourself in someone else's shoes.

Flying OT while your constituents are furloughed would demonstrate a lack of empathy but so would poking a man that has literally been fighting his entire life including while wearing the Maple Leaf on his military uniform.

Let that sink in for a moment - this aviator has literally reached the pinnacle of what can be asked of a Canadian pilot - to carry our flag over a declared enemy and do so risking his life for his fellow citizens.

When someone has literally been at full throttle their whole life it is no wonder a few bearings have come loose.

And loose as they may have come, the association invested more resources in defending itself from itself than it ever has for itself. It has been as productive as a deadhead both ways on a 2 leg pairing.

Tony is now free. Free of this regime and yet still employed. ACPA still has an obligation to him while he has no obligation to them. If there was a ballot today for such a deal, members would be ejecting faster than a Cuban baseball team at an American tournament. I could only imagine the carnage as the association watched as members seeked asylum from the asylum. Acpa could try their own "Bay of Pigs" but the pigs probably wouldn't get past the Overtime trough.

The 70% of Members who actually pay attention to this band which could appropriately be named "The Shillers" or "3 more concessions down" or "Panic! At the terminal" or "Sell Out Boy" or for the YVR band in July - "Green Back Day" - there is some good news:

ACPA is walking away from the administration of life insurance and probably for good reason. This would be the last organization one should trust overlooking post humous affairs. Predictably 30% didn't even bother to ensure that their beneficiaries were identified. I guess it is hard to kill the habit of ignoring acpa propoganda. Old habits die hard.

It is hard to watch the news of aviation down south. US Airlines are deeply concerned about getting back to normal wait times for customers. That's right - while we wait for the official start flag to get travel back to "normal" - they are pleading for mercy from the hordes of customers who want normal levels of service. The dichotomy couldn't be anymore extreme.

Hopefully soon our very own Transport Minister will "Choo Choo" choose us again as he is busy pushing for a high speed monorail like something out of a Simpsons episode. At this point Krusty could be in charge because well how could it get any worse than the current clowns running the show

Tony is the modern day "Pericles" and the ACPA counsel and membership have more in parallel with the Athenians. History repeats itself, even if it's ancient.

Here's another parallel, Pericles went out with the plague, much like Tony going out with Covid. Reincarnation? Feels so.

All the best to the aviator who served our flag behind enemy lines.

[acpaleaks]

Wait Tony has covid!!!? Shit.

Not true

[Mrbobmarly111]

If you think the Canadian Military wouldnt do a background check and see all the crazy rants he goes on. Or that they wouldn't contact his previous employers then you must be your delusional.
