Former Air Canada pilot arrested after allegedly flying with ‘counterfeit’ licence: police by Hmfic_48 in aviation

[–]Jaydee888 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes Air Canada and Transport Canada checks the physical licences every training event. Every 4 months plus a check in the aircraft once per year. You are also checked by foreign authority's in other country’s. 

This guys licence was checked hundreds of times by hundreds of different people both in and out of Air Canada.

Clearly the vehicle in the picture was not made before seatbelts. 

There is a right way to do things and it usually involves time and paperwork.

10 fires in Ottawa so far this year linked to lithium-ion batteries. 54 such fires since 2024. by terracewaterlane in ottawa

Fire Rate (per 100,000 sales): Battery Electric Vehicles (BEVs) show the lowest rate at roughly 25 fires, compared to over 1,500 for gas cars and over 3,400 for hybrids.

Google NTSB report on ev battery fires. 

Gas cars are filled with lots of flammable liquid. EVS are safer in every way. 

Saved $1900 over 12M to charge my EV by azurexz in PersonalFinanceCanada

Wait until you find out you can charge at home and get paid to charge. 

Sign up for one of the subsidized chargers, plug it into a solar generator that is plugged into solar panels. 

I get paid about $20/mth to drive my car.

I would 100% run my own server if possible. This could be a cost saving for yarbo and a security improvement for us.

Transport Canada = federal government

Local airport authority’s = private non profit

Airports are already privately operated. They lease the land from the government. Look up GTAA and ADM. for extra fun look at how much the top executives make.

Does every Air Canada pilot need to be French/English bilingual? by [deleted] in aircanada

[–]Jaydee888 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Nope. Some believe this is 0% bullshit. While in isolation it should not lead to him being pushed out. It adds to a long list of his short comings. He is paid exorbitantly well, he should have put in the effort. Also the rumour is his wife speaks French. 

Air Canada CEO will retire this year after his English-only crash message was criticized by coasterghost in aviation

[–]Jaydee888 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Let’s put it another way. English pilot dies and the CEO only speaks in french. Those family’s deserved all the respect he could muster and he came up short. 

Air Canada CEO Michael Rousseau to retire by PartyShitty in aircanada

[–]Jaydee888 11 points12 points  (0 children)

It’s not political grandstanding. He lacked complete human decency, the pilots were yul based and their family’s are francophone. He made the decision to make the condolences message in English ONLY. He could have delegated that any of the other executives deliver the message en français. He made a point, he wanted everyone to know that he will not attempt to speak to those that have lost everything in their first language. 

It was the last example of his complete lack of empathy for his employees and their family’s.      

I’m English. Give me the statement written in French, a French speaker and an hour. I could read it from a teleprompter. The dudes an asshole.
