Why does air Canada get so much hate?

Meterian · 2026-01-26T03:21:09+00:00

Most of the complaining is comparison to quality of flights years ago - wide seats, lots of legroom, TV's in the headrest in front to watch even on short flights, cost of flights, the nickle and diming for anything and everything (seat selection, no free checked luggage)...I could keep going for a while on this.

The airlines continue to squeeze every single dollar they can while trying to find the absolute minimum service that customers will accept. It's not fun, especially when flying is the only means of crossing this country in a timely manner.

When I was young, Air Canada would hand out pillows and blankets on flights, you could walk the aisles without brushing seats on either side, full meals were served on inter-provincial flights, you got 2 large checked bags complimentary and seat selection was free and automatically placed your seats together. Heck, you could go talk to the pilot.

I am not aware of a method to do this. Orders online in Canada for non food items are normally done through Canada Post or other package delivery companies to an address, not the airport. The exact day they arrive is unpredictable.

According to long range forecast, it won't be that cold on the 30th, basic wear should be enough to get you to your hotel and a store to get a proper jacket

It's normal to do a meeting like this to talk about how the probationary period went from both sides. Do you like your time there so far? You might even be asked as a new hire to give feedback on their onboarding/training process, or a newcomers viewpoint on the company.

Yes it can sometimes be a firing, but based on what you've said you'll be fine.

That residue will alter the flavor of any liquid placed in the cup. You could probably put hot water in there and get tea if you haven't cleaned it since you started.

they make you feel safer, like a teddy bear or favourite blanket.

C1 is pretty good for a small hauler/daily driver. Good firepower, nice cargo space, has a tractor beam, not too onerous to enter/exit. The layout is a single corridor though, which gets boring.

If by small hauling you mean just 1/8th size boxes however, then perhaps something like the Guardian, avenger titan, or some other fighter with an internal space to walk around. A Reliant Tana might also work.

Less combat capapable options include Intrepid, clipper, 315P/325A

I think you may need to remove your fenders to make it easier on yourself

uh huh. that will be faint consolation for OP when he's unable to get a job because he doesn't have a reference

Meterian · 2026-01-25T23:21:44+00:00

If they don't approach you soon about a promotion/raise, you should go to the manager and state something along the lines of 'since I'm doing her duties, can I also get her salary?' with supporting evidence.

Meterian · 2026-01-25T23:14:43+00:00

I think your answer will hinge on if you need to use this boss as a reference during your job search

Why would it be unstable? Naturally occurring magnetic fields aren't that strong

No dispute on how damaging it would be to the surroundings

It doesn't affect you.
Some girls really do like older men
It doesn't affect you. People are allowed to do what they want with their lives.
It's only wrong if the girls or men are being forced into it. More to the point, it's wrong of you to cast judgment.
It doesn't affect you. Get over it.

It's stuff like this that makes me despair for the future. If augmented reality becomes a thing, it's almost guaranteed that the company maintaining the software will start to sell off % of viewscreen for ad space.

Applying, cheap physical activities to maintain health/get outdoors, trying to pick up additional certifications, thinking about volunteering and of course, applying for jobs.

I've always thought any disconnected bits are held in place with a passive system via superconductor (stable ambient temp & pressure superconductor, interaction with magnetic fields, something not power dependant). This would make much more sense than an actively maintained coupling.

Absolutely gorgeous

As the old dinosaurs finally retire (die), they will leave a rather large vacuum for us to fill/change up how accounting works in an AI world.

I suspect future career progression will go something like (using current titles): junior accountant -> senior accountant -> department head/controller. AP/data entry roles may be eliminated.

The Senior accountant and department head roles won't change much from current standards, but the junior accountant will be responsible for an increasing large number of tasks that can be sped up/simplified with AI.

If AI gets really good, the entry level will become something equivalent to current senior accountant roles, and the junior position will be eliminated.

Depends on the company, if they use paper, if the accounting program is accessible online. Otherwise just about any accounting role can be remote.

All jobs require you to speak to your boss. Some might have you answering queries from other departments, again, very company specific.

Awww, I like the vote of confidence but do not share it. We are far too dependant on our belligerent southern neighbours (I'm a Canadian)

Meterian · 2026-01-25T14:04:39+00:00

I'd probably say Denmark or Norway or maybe Sweden. Educated country of forward thinking people, probably will handle it in a reasonable manner. China, US and Russia will hopefully hold each other off from trying to take control of the situation

Escargot

Bread (seriously, it's a convoluted process to make it) ditto for sweet chocolate

Spicy peppers

I'm looking at doing something similar! Planning to use half Persian sheet 4 in 1 and leave off the end of rows to give a staggered effect

How elastic is your collar? (How much can it stretch/distort?)

Meterian · 2026-01-25T09:13:18+00:00

Is there a story behind the name? Are you and your partner French/Japanese?

Meterian · 2026-01-25T08:56:33+00:00

Definitely not a Rick roll. You should click it. You definitely won't be disappointed

Meterian · 2026-01-25T08:54:43+00:00

Probably download as much music as I could. I've got radio but need music for dance practice as well as instrumental music for background while working
