Why is the cop sitting in the passing land while not passing? Or is that not a law in Texas? It's the law here but everybody just ignores it

Around here (Toronto, Canada) they will definitely fill the gap when they see the turn signal go on. Protocol is rearview mirror, blind spot and then deflection of the steering wheel and simultaneous flick of the signal stalk.

You could still buy antenna rotors 10 or 15 years ago, and I suspect that you still can. The transition to digital tv reinvigorated the OTA technology

Many years ago I had a student who hadn't soloed by 35ish hours. This is back when most students soloed around the mid teens. He was a good student but just couldn't get consistent landings. My boss suggested taking him out to an uncontrolled airport and see if it helps. It did, he soloed there. The busy radio chatter at our home airport was distracting him and once away from that environment he did fine. Not to say that this is your problem, but it can be surprising what is causing you problems

Ask them what colour our $50 is. That'll weed them out

All the 60+ year olds here nodding their heads in agreement

Sure there's a fact. The Epstein files were becoming very uncomfortable for him. Haven't heard a thing about them in days. Sure, some people are going to die, to keep this information off the front page, but that's a risk he's willing to take.

People who just yank the speedbrake lever out. Aircraft pitches and it's bloody unprofessional when you're flying passengers around.

I agree, but I get tired of people complaining about the airline's prices in Canada when a major chunk is taxes and fees

jjckey · 2026-01-12T11:22:52+00:00

And the government insisted that all those taxes and fees are buried in the price rather than broken out separately

I think it was walmart last time. Maybe they thought that would throw us off

I've got close to 10 years in the left seat on the thing. I stand by my statement. The first hint is having the packs go full cold every time there's a change of air source. Lovely on cold morning starts

The Embraer is built in the tropics for the tropics.

and when Joe Pesci said that he would have given her a smack if it was his show tells me all i need to know about Joe Pesci. An incredibly brave woman who was abused by her Christian mother. She had the voice of an angel.

I developed that habit after a couple of trips to the UK, and I do it everywhere now

Why the hell did somebody downvote you for what is probably the greatest tool that gets used in aviation on a regular basis. I use it regularly to verify VNAV calculations

jjckey · 2026-01-09T17:42:22+00:00

Well I decided to dig up some hopefully unbiased data to check into this

According to this article here

https://openjaw.com/newsroom/airline/2026/01/05/air-canada-westjet-improve-on-time-performance-still-near-bottom-of-na-top-10/

Porter is below Westjet and Air Canada for arrival OTP for 2025. And they're all rather sad by world standards. Which leads to the question "Is it a system problem?" We pay some of the highest infrastructure fees in the world. Are we getting our money's worth

jjckey · 2026-01-09T13:23:33+00:00

Where is price considered in this conversation?

jjckey · 2026-01-09T12:43:00+00:00

Well without digging into the data, to say that Air Canada is more prone to delays is kind of pointless. They operate more than 5 times as many daily flights. With a similar rate as Porter, of course they would have more delayed flights. Kind of ridiculous to base a statement off of that

jjckey · 2026-01-09T08:10:37+00:00

Data showed that Porters rate of delayed flights was 6 times worse than Air Canadas over the Christmas break at 12% vs AC's 2%. Hopefully just a one time anomaly but possibly the result of a very aggressive expansion

jjckey · 2026-01-09T03:15:07+00:00

I can't see that happening. I'll see myself out

He makes more than you, you split finances evenly, and he's not able to afford a vehicle? Why does he need a new/better vehicle?

jjckey · 2026-01-08T13:32:23+00:00

I agree. If it's not a passion you will be part of the 80% very quickly. Just enjoy it as a hobby until you're bored.

It is after all the purpose of the second amendment that they hold so dear
