Always nice to see the regiments getting along.

I hope this doesn’t snowball. Sending more csar assets to recover csar personnel can get messy. Gotta do it though.

I feel sick to my stomach watching this. Not overly religious but I’m praying for the best possible outcome. As a tac hel guy, I’m humbled by what these crews are confronting right now. I echo ytz’s comments, this is tip of the spear stuff. On our advanced tactics course I was exposed to csar...

They all play games, it’s called politics. Some are better than others though.

Do you say that about other provinces too? But I agree that this shouldn’t be the story, I think Blanchet would have said this CEO needs to go before this incident happened.

Not sure I’d go that far but I’d love to know more about this engagement. If he was evading, he rolled in slowly and it still hit him so I say luck played a part. If he was trying to max turn inside the missile’s aero and Pn limits, that would indeed be quite something. Skeptical but over that...

This particular Air Canada CEO has a long history of making this mistake, for those not tracking or living in Quebec. The level of arrogance he has shown over the years has been impressive so there was no way he wasn’t going to get called out for this blunder. I’m from BC so I understand the...

First off ytz, I appreciate the substance of your posts. But why do you see the need to insult, it detracts from your message. I agree that some stuff on this site is laughable and concerning if we assume the poster is still serving but it’s an Internet forum so not surprising. Usually the...

Interesting message, in this day and age I wonder if the population over there (and eventually here) are ready to hear it.

Pretty privileged up-bringing, pretty difficult to go to the Olympics for downhill snowboarding without being wealthy. Decent enough guy and from a nice family, from what I could see. Went to his house a few times in late 90’s. Drug dealing- not surprised but that doesn’t say much since in...

I went to high school with this guy, when he was 17 he had a Kawasaki ninja and a slammed dodge ram dually with hydraulics. Might have watched Scarface a few too many times.

Very interesting interview. I got the sense that McKenna was pushing the envelope on various subjects. From threats & vulnerabilities to political subjects it was quite wide ranging and candid. Not sure that saying he needs ‘overmatch’ will be enough to get the desired outcome though. I’m not...

CDA…

The bed thing didn’t actually happen did it?

Ack but I can confirm it’s not what if scenarios. More than a handful impacted and more than another handful who refused promotions as a direct result. The few (that I know) that went through the process of going down a rank (on principle), don’t regret it but let’s just say there were CoC...

I’m fine with most of that, I constrained my comments to the current construct. Also, other air ops trades haven’t consistently shown more aptitude than pilots for the planning/executing. Just my biased opinion.

Agree, assuming we have enough majors to do the jobs. De-incentivizing promising prospects from becoming majors is a problem. Personally, I think the new pay scheme is a good idea and has potential. Unfortunately, the execution was less than ideal for those stuck in the transition. I’ll be...

The problem is when the same experience/qualifications/time-in but the captain makes more than the major. Over time it will fix itself but for those stuck in the transition years, it’s pretty bad considering there’s easy ways to fix it. It’s a recognized problem but authority is unwilling to fix...

Interesting pod cast that discusses these issues. https://podcasts.apple.com/ca/podcast/the-line/id1708477959?i=1000731237622
