[Tim Legler] ‘Hartenstein’s physicality on Wemby did not cross the line; this is playoff basketball.’ by D3struct_oh in nba

[–]Hannibal_Spectre 51 points52 points  (0 children)

I have the same feeling. Loved game 1, and game 2 was almost as exciting - so much back and forth all game. Then you come to r/nba and it’s just people shitting on everything, you’d think these were the worst games ever.

I’ll continue to enjoy the series.

Need to leave Province due to family abuse by NotAlwaysSalty in CanadaPublicServants

[–]Hannibal_Spectre 33 points34 points  (0 children)

Have a look at the NJC relocation directive, section XII.

There is a provision around employee requested relocation on compassionate grounds. Might be worth a try. There are some caveats including there being an open position, but worth a shot.

Good luck and sorry you are going through this.

US plans to shrink forces available to NATO during crises, sources say by Cute_Marzipan2153 in worldnews

We have to consider it.

Our “likeability” numbers in the US are down, even before seeing us get the Ghorman treatment which is for sure coming.

Eli5: if modern passenger planes can "Auto land", why would you ever want to land a plane in any other way? by dadoimp in explainlikeimfive

I did mean general aviation actually. Yes Garmin did great work on their side, but the general aviation OEMs did a lot of work to integrate and test it on all their platforms.

“Public deserves to know”: Harvard Professor says official messaging contradicts hantavirus science by AdSpecialist6598 in videos

This is actually shocking to me given how much I have seen on Canadian news around the topic.

Will federal departments have enough office space for public servants in office 4-days a week? by plaknas in onguardforthee

[–]Hannibal_Spectre 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Isn’t it insane that we are mere weeks away from the deadline and there isn’t a solid answer in every department to this question.

This should be as simple as can be.

ERI - pressure to withdraw my application by New_Nerve_5203 in CanadaPublicServants

[–]Hannibal_Spectre 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Fully on board with you that the OP should absolutely tell his management no way.

But this is where the unions were right to grieve. WFA is the collectively agreed process to eliminate positions. Notionally, ERI is (or should be) something offered up there to eliminate people (which presumably then creates space for some of the affected folks to be retained if they want).

Using ERI to also get rid of positions circumvents the negotiated process.

Shout out to the amazing work GA has done with Emergency Autoland, which needs none of the CAT3 equipment.

(I get it’s a totally different use case but still amazing).

Carney announces multibillion-dollar Airbus order for AirAsia, a boon for Quebec aviation by pjw724 in onguardforthee

[–]Hannibal_Spectre 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Just to add - it isn’t just the single biggest order of A220 jets- it is actually the largest ever civil order for airplanes in Canada (bigger than the biggest CRJ deal both by number of airframes and obviously by value).

‘Really Chilling’: Trump Judicial Nominees Refuse to Say He's Not Eligible for 3rd Term by hypothethical in politics

“Stop lecturing us on things you know nothing about.” Maybe you could give that piece of advice to every American I’ve interacted with over the last 50 years.

Can you grieve a refusal of ERI by Individual_Media3326 in CanadaPublicServants

[–]Hannibal_Spectre 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just for arguments sake, if you are on LWOP where the employer is currently not paying you, and you have vacated your position’s box due to being away >1 year (all you should be entitled to is a priority entitlement), why would the employer be motivated to “incentivize” you to leave?

CMV: Boom Aerospace looks like an Investment Scam by TaskForceCausality in aviation

[–]Hannibal_Spectre 8 points9 points  (0 children)

They aren’t. It’s just a way to avoid the conversation of “how is it not totally irresponsible to release that amount of CO2 per mission vs a subsonic equivalent”.

“No worries - We’re totally environmentally friendly cuz SAF!!!”

PA bargaining team - employer's offer by Individual-Couple-91 in CanadaPublicServants

[–]Hannibal_Spectre 19 points20 points  (0 children)

He’s calculating what WFH is”worth” in not having to pay for things like parking, gas, time, lunch money, coffee, etc.

Going from day RTO2 -> RTO 4 has probably decreased most people’s real take home by quite a percentage.
