I don’t find any of the above posters comments funny whatsoever.

Here is what I posted last night in a thread that was subsequently pulled by the mods (with good reason!)

Compassionate, caring and least of all... quick to judge.
Y'all could learn a thing or two from some of these
individuals me thinks!

What's wrong with you? Reported for just being just plain toxic towards other communities.
Which community would be most offended by Bug_Stomper_01's joke? The Down Syndrome community or the pilot community?

I have no clue what’s happening in this thread lol. Long story short… everyone that disagrees can go suck start a bulldozer lol

What a class act. Is that hurt and anger at the world inside of you feeling better by insulting fellow aviation workers on the internet?

It was a joke, as I’m assuming girl17’s post clearly was as well and a dig at ame’s in general (which she has a history of). Lighten up

https://gem.cbc.ca/media/skymed/s01?cmp ... _EM_June27
SKYMED
The triumphs, heartbreaks, and tribulations of budding nurses and pilots flying air ambulances in remote Northern Canada. They’re all in over their heads, with no one to rely on but each other.
I was cautiously optimistic, then I heard "Tell Thompson we're coming in hot!"

What are your expectation? Looks like it will be ... interesting ...
They should make this series, but good lol

I planned to start a new thread "who wants to talk SkyMed", of course, by the time I got here, it had already been done.

I love this community. Don't ever change.

Also, let's not be so harsh on the realism aspect. I personally found this part to be super realistic (from S1E1)

"Bro, why'd you f*** the new girl, you knew I liked her"

"Air Canada didn't hire me"

"Oh bro, I'm so sorry... let's get you a drink".

Ya, I just watched the first couple of episodes in my peripheral. I may not have been paying enough attention as it was playing in my shop while I was working but don’t they only refer to Air Canada as strictly only “AC”?

Does anyone know whose king airs are being used in the series? I'm wondering which company was involved.

I was very skeptical when I watched the first episode, but have to say I was surprised at the effort made to keep the flying part realistic. That episodes theme around overloading and unsecured cargo as well as the FO wannabe's dilemma about being a team player and shading the truth over saying what really happened, depicted a dirty little Northern flying secret, something I would not have expected in a prime time TV show.

Sadly that episode was the high point. It has now regressed to not very good day time soap opera territory. The resolution of the crash was totally lame and the flying connection is all but gone. I get that you got to have the personal stuff to keep the audience but the first episode was an example of how you could also tell a good story

I gave it up at episode 5, which was 3 episodes too late.....
