  1. that number includes monies already paid out. Of course there could have been an outside deal with AC.
  2. Thats a 727 not an F-18 Cleared for the visual, your discretion.
  3. Agreed however it is not a right under the charter. the charter grants you freedom of MOVEMENT and TRAVEL. No mode is specified. The purpose is to say that you have the right to go anywhere in canada without restriction. HOW you get there is on you and the privilege of gaining the required certificates and licences are NOT guaranteed under the charter. If cannot grasp the operation of an automobile you will not be allowed to operate one LEGALLY. Same for other modes of transportation. Airline Tariffs essentially say thanks for buying a ticket, we may or may not get you there. There is case president for that too. Any Private carrier of any mode of transportation has the right to refuse carriage to anyone for cause. Too Drunk...Not Flying. Rights only extend to a point. when you have a right you also have a responsibility.
  4. Well I retain the right under authorization of the MTO to DENY you a Drivers License because you fail to meet the criteria set out by the MTO. If it were a RIGHT I would not have that ability.
  5. That License is bestowed upon you by the government. They can revoke that license at any time for cause. In Ontario it is spelled out right in the Drivers Handbook "DRIVING IS A PRIVILEGE NOT A RIGHT" Just ask anyone who has lost their license for DUI, Stunting, Vehicular Manslaughter, or even just speeding. The PRIVILEGE is REVOKED.
  6. Yes. It is a privilege granted by the province which can be revoked at any time for cause. It is not a right.
  7. You have the right to freedome oof travel. nowhere in the charter does that define a "Mode" of travel. Wanna Travel? WALK. Driving is a PRIVLEDGE not a right Air Travel is a PRIVLEDGE extended by a PRIVATE operator and not a right. Travel by BOAT (unless privately owned) is a PRIVLEDGE extended by a PRIVATE operator and not a right. Walking, Jogging, Running, Cycling etc are all within your RIGHTS to freedom of travel. Does anyone actually ever read the back of the ticket where it says (paraphrase) you buy the ticket, we decide whether you travel?
  8. there are a series of checks that are carried out weekly during long term storage. The Storage facility at Pinal is well versed in the process since they store many operational aircraft for dozens of airlines. A hydraulic failure from the left engine could be anything and may not have shown an issue at all during the release from storage inspection and engine runs. Thats how mechanical failures work. An aircraft can be released from a routine A check and have an issue on the next flight even if the failed system was never touched. you cannot blame the storage for this issue.
  9. not the first time I have see an incident like this, be it pilot or AME at the wheel.
  10. Simple. If the government imposes it, the government pays for it
  11. AC finished the day yesterday at 23.69. considering all the available shares at $24 thats not bad. 10% drop from open to close with a market flooded with shares 10% lower than the trading price is pretty much an expected result.
  12. flying it where exactly? not really short on airframes at the moment
  13. Just waiting for it... If one of these things crashes for ANY reason, Say goodbye to Boeing.
  14. I will give it some time (was it 28 days???) for the vaccine to truly be tested in the wild before I consider partaking. True side effects cannot be known in such a short trial period. especially for a vaccine using RNA to do the job.
  15. I will take the $10 fee for the hospital....It costs $20 now.... Parking.
  16. and now to build an airframe that can handle it.
  17. Ever see a drug commercial on TV? Most of the time the complications are worse than the initial problem. Drugs are not always the answer
  18. well they can just skip over me. Not putting a rushed, barely tested vaccine in my arm when the companies that produce it have ZERO liability should something go wrong. The track record isn't exactly spectacular.
  19. As I said before... The 737 MAX will be the safest aircraft in the sky when it starts flying again. It HAS to be. If another one crashes, it will bankrupt Boeing and the FAA will lose all credibility. I do not think anyone wants that to happen.
  20. its the tearing off of the doors or lack thereof that impresses me.
  21. it is impressive that they can open the bay doors above mach 1
  22. I was ready for the impact so was not injured but it was quite a hit. I imagine the GSE guys were none too happy. I don't remember if they fixed it or scrapped it. There was no timmies close by back in those days
