  1. What is interesting is that climate wise and frost levels are almost the same as in Canada in Germany. The difference is that the foundation under the road is almost 3 times deeper and of different materials than we use here in Canada. Our roads are 5 year roads where in Germany they are 25+ year roads. There is no money in longevity. Also the driver training and awareness over there is FAR superior to what one gets here and there is no sense of entitlement on the highway. and "Autobahn" style highway would never work over here. Especially in Ontario
  2. no you need a negative test within the 72 hours prior to boarding
  3. We already have 5G service in Canada and so far nothing
  4. Bottom line over better service. Now if only the "NEW GEN CEO's" realized that with better customer service comes a better bottom line.
  5. it alkl goes in the same bag at the end of the day anyway. This just makes people feel like they are doing the right thing. It is the same at almost every establishment.
  6. it is the release from storage that is where the rubber hits the road. Storage checks are just upkeep. The release from storage is the functional and operational testing. That needs to be done properly and perfectly.
  7. Vaers is about as unreliable as it comes since the data is not vetted. It is the wikipedia of drug issues. Can be added to by anyone. do not consider it a reliable source of data
  8. oh I do agree. Extended downtime should be a non event for an aircraft when the recommendation are followed correctly. Problem is that in many cases those recommendation are not properly followed.
  9. that looks like a 140 or 180. I do not tink the engine was "Dead" I believe his comment was it was not making any power. It may well idle ok.
  10. also read.... All people visiting Air Canada facilities ie. Terminal buildings. See how this may affect the public? If you want to enter a Termial where AC flies out of then you must be fully vaccinated.
  11. well over 50% of the WORLD POPULATION has been vaccinated. I think the data speaks for itself.
  12. it may seem like a long time but if the maintenance requirements for shor / long term storage and return to service were followed there should be no issues.
  13. we got in the habit of idling the engines before the crew showed up. Some days just a dry motor was all that was required.
  14. I respectfully disagree. A strong herd is healthy and thrives. When the weak and sick are allowed to remain part of the heard, it is slowly decayed until overcome and eventually wiped out. The sick, spread disease to the rest of the herd and when left unchecked will kill the majority of it. The weak and sick are breeding grounds for disease and again left unchecked those diseases will mutate and become more virulent. It is not the Herd Mentality that brings us down, it is not learning from nature that brings us down. We may be one of the most advanced species on the planet but we are not the dominant one.
  15. no. Survival of the fittest. In the natural order the weak and old naturally die off. Humans are the only species that artificailly prolongs life "unnaturally" This leads to the overall weakness of the species. It also make us vulnerable.
  16. This is why the human race is suffering. We found a way to circumvent natural selection and keep the sick and slow alive and allowed them to breed. This has severely weakened the herd. It is a first world problem. Problem is that thte first world is now supporting the third world in the same manner. We cannot, as a species, evolve and grow when the herd is slowly dragging us all down.
  17. CAA was not allowing people to ride with the driver when a car was towed but that was last year before vaccines were even available. Don't know if the policy has changed.
  18. That is what the tail skid is for. We used to get these on the 727 all the time. Inspect the tail skid and determine if further action is required. More often than no its good to go. No turnback requirement
  19. Don't get me wrong. I am sure it can reduce "Symptoms" but it does not do anything for the underlying infection. In fact the vaccine doesn't either. The Vaccine is prophylaxis not cure. I too would welcome any treatment available. The problem is there would be no money in it for the drug supplier. Why use off the shelf medication when you can make millions from something new.
  20. The issue with Ivermectin is that it treats the symptoms NOT the cause. It is theraputic in that the dying patient is more comfortable. Moraphine would work too ?
  21. ok then Due to you not revealing your vaccination status you shall not be allowed to operate flights to any destination that requires a vaccination for Covid, yellow fever, WPV, Malaria, BiH,Polio. As an international worker these requirements are set in place by the countries to which the airline operates. If you can not meet those requirements then you can operate YYZ-YSB 3 days a week for the rest of your career because working around your irrational fear of health privacy is not in the best interest of the company.
  22. I got thinking bout the conspiracy theories the other day and It kind of made me chuckle. Here is a theory that actually make more sense if you were the guy calling the shots. 1) introduce a pandemic that, while harmful, is not enough to cause uncontrollable spread in the long run. 2) introduce a "Vaccine" for said pandemic. This vaccine would also prevent infection for a yet undisclosed / unreleased pathogen 3) vaccinate the population where the most compliant people will get vaccinated. 4) release undisclosed pathogen into the wild thereby infecting only the unvaccinated (non compliant) portion of the population. 5) reduce the population of the planet while at the same time removing a high percentage of the non-compliant population. Why does this make more sense than what the current conspiracies are saying? well the current thinking leave the population with only the righteous non-compliant which would only lead to anarchy in the end. This way we are left with a compliant population (at least until the truth comes out). And this my friends is why I laugh at conspiracy theories.
  23. this has nothing to do with the "Right to fly" (which is not a right under the charter) and everything to do with wanting to get back to work and make money. you have the right to freedom of movement but the method is not covered except for by 2 feet and a heartbeat
  24. might I suggest you read the charter and look at the ORDER that the rights are presented. Right to life is the top one that cannot be infringed by ANY of the other rights.
