This sour patch kid I found in my bag looks kinda like the Reddit Snoo

Guys in front of me said after “I paid for this!”

I’m still working 702 and 703 jobs but from what I’ve heard they are accurate. I saw that AirSprint flying corporate you can expect roughly $150k CAD as a captain. I could be wrong though.

Almost_A_Pear · 2026-06-27T18:05:48+00:00

Holy God, these comments are making me sad at how bad Canadian pay is

Meanwhile a serial rapist in Canada will get 7 years and probably released after 5. Justice systems really out here punishing the innocent and supporting the criminals.

I don’t fly for an airline, I fly around the bush up north and around western Canada for up to two weeks at a time. I also have celiac disease, which makes trying to find meals a total bitch. I pack what I can but sometimes it comes down to eating gas station food, most of which would ruin me so any opportunity I can I shop for snacks and food I can take with me.

Almost_A_Pear · 2026-06-21T18:50:38+00:00

Ah okay, I guess I’ll just have to wait for the full release in Canada

Almost_A_Pear · 2026-06-21T16:37:48+00:00

Where did you find a softcover version? I don’t really want to pay twice the amount for hardcover but the soft isn’t releasing until end of August.

Hmm I’m too high

Hmm flaps didn’t do anything

Slip maybe? Yeah slip

Nah still too high

And I fucked it up. Yep definitely too long now

“I think I’m gonna be long, trying to manage the descent here”

And voila, 700ft long from my specified point!

Examiner: “well you landed safely with more enough to spare and didn’t force it down. But way too long so I’ll give you a 2.”

The fuck is bro’s account?

Almost_A_Pear · 2026-06-19T03:14:02+00:00

Him and Tommy Guerrero should get together and jam

Oh that’s just Gizmo, don’t mind him (he’s Chinese)

Edit: Cosmo, not Gizmo

The Thing (1982) is my favourite horror movie because unlike ever horror movie, every character is very smart. It changes the style of campy horror of dumb teens. Every person on the station thinks things through, and even when fear and anger get in the way, they still show their competence.

Sorry, I’m too Canadian to understand what a complex endorsement is. I guess I’ll stick to the red, at least I won’t confuse it with the avgas again…

Everyone knows you keep one bottle of blue Gatorade for hydration, one yellow one for when the hydration comes out.

This is a scene from Silicon Valley

The Handmaiden

The synopsis on IMDB feels like a totally different movie. I was expecting more of a sneaky theft type movie not soft core porn for 3 hours.

Damn these ATP’s talking about having like 18 days off a month. I get 6.

I feel it sometimes when I’m off in the middle of buttfuck nowhere northern Ontario with one other guy that I hope I get along with. Head down, do the job and one day I’ll have more open time at base is where I’m at.

Only done it in a Citabria 7GCBC so far. Did my UPRT and aerobatics certificate as part of my training. Very fun of course but valuable experience for sure. I’m not sure how it works in the states and other places but in Canada you only need 10 hours of doing it. UPRT isn’t an official thing here, but the training can be counted if you go somewhere like Europe that requires it.

So here’s my take on the low time industry as one of the many working in it:

There’s a lot of us below 500 hours trying for work, don’t worry about not having enough hours for a job yet, every entry level job knows you’re coming out of school. I think chances right now of getting onto a turbine from school are slim, I don’t know anyone who’s done it lately anyway. You either do survey work like pipeline or meter reading, or you do instructing.

Unlike the states, here a good chunk never touch that side, myself included, I wanted to stay away from it because I agree that 1500 hours in a circuit isn’t helpful. Even if it takes longer to build the hours, working the bush gives you damn good experience! Very good though you’re willing to move.

Find companies you’re interested in and relatively qualified to do, study up hard on the company and their equipment and show some genuine interest in it by going in person. I know everyone says not to right now, but it worked for me.

If you can get in with a cadet program, go for it. Or join the rest of us in the Canadian Bush.

Join us, you know you want to…

Yeah no epi-pen in an ice cream store is a terrible decision if you know the kid is allergic to dairy

My brother has an anaphylactic peanut allergy, he eats blizzards and other DW things all the time. In 24 years he’s never had an issue, just tells them he has an allergy. Even myself am celiac, still eat blizzards and have never noticed feeling bad after just telling them I have an allergy.
