  1. The term notam is very discriminitory, I think its time to call these notices to air people. Somebody tell truedau
  2. Then why do you constantly #### on everyone here standing up for their beliefs? You seem more like a boot licker to be honest.
  3. Any unvaxxed aviators wanna sue the federal govt? Why the #### are we the only people subject to this #### still?
  4. Id have more empathy, except the operators/owners are the ones responsible for what the rates are. In a year where we are seeing massive inflation, your advocating a pay cut? thats insane. If your business isnt profitable, shut it down, be a responsible boomer and just retire already.
  5. Name me 3 positive changes HAC has made in the past decade. Maintaining a glorified phone book doesnt count.
  6. Do you think the aviation industry will ever get a more mature and fact based opinion towards cannabis? Since legalization in 2018, MANY more operators require pre-employment testing than they did pre-legalization. There is a strict no use/zero tolerance approach. However alcohol abuse is wildly accepted in our industry, promoted and celebrated. Yet cannabis use 2-3 weeks before your shift is unallowable and stigmatized. (discrimination) During legalization one of the biggest calls for zero tolerance was the police, and it was tied to the fact they carry loaded weapons and have authorization to use them. The Calgary police has since changed their minds. https://calgaryherald.com/news/local-news/off-duty-cannabis-prohibition-for-calgary-police-officers-lifted "Other police forces at that time considered banning cannabis use within 28 days of a shift, eyeing the fact traces of its active ingredient THC remain in the body long after consumption. Critics, including leaders of police associations, called that rule de facto prohibition and ridiculous, noting that THC presence in the body often doesn’t denote impairment." Transport Canada is completely out of touch with reality, do only 80+ yr boomers who work there? Furthermore there is medical users of Cannabis, Dr. prescribed medication. If covid has taught us anything its that you have to listen to the doctors or you are a nazi! Responsible cannabis use does not imply you are unfit for duty.
  7. "Pharmaceutical companies don't make money by killing off their customer base." I guess we should mandate smoking now too. What a great and well thought out point to make. As of today the total death count for covid, from the very beginning in Vancouver was 600. In the summer of 2021, 595 people died from the heat wave in Vancouver, most of that was in a 1 week period. Why isnt the govt mandating A/C units, why are they not mandating you stay inside during 35+ ? Something that has the same mortality rate in 1 week vs 100+ weeks. This clearly isnt about health, This is only about control. I'm not down for that.
  8. Are we aviators going to be the ONLY bag holders of this unjust mandate? Nurses and health care workers are allowed to work un vaxxed AND covid positive. Gov't made a big oopsie and had no choice but to admit they messed up. Truckers are just saying #### you. I feel like we are a small # of people, and we work in a fragmented industry. Large commercial airlines opposed to small heli companies that work in remote locations. A small group indeed, which is further more split 50/50 in pilot and engineer which are very diff jobs and entail different amounts of exposure to the public or clients. Even a remote (work from home job) customer representative job for a company like westjet falls under this mandate. Regardless of your personal opinions or vaxx status, it's pretty clear at this point that the narrative is unwinding. Britain finally said they are done with masks & passports. In fact Canada is pretty much one of the only countries left in the world with insane lockdowns/restrictions/mandates ect. (can,france, aussie, austria, germany) I'm worried that the 'return to normal' will forget about us federal workers. Life will move on and the mandate will stick for us, being poorly represented or forgotten. I am curious how operators are handling this? Has staffing taken a hit or been hard to maintain? Is hiring difficult? I recently saw a job add mentioning they are accepting unvaxx applications (big respect to this kind of behavior) Has anybody perused legal action? where is HAC, surely they have some influence on policy? When is enough, enough and operators just say "we are no longer complying with this mandate, fine us all you want, and we will lets the courts decide." and finally, our mandate is the only one I have seen so far that has NO exemptions, whether medical, religious or personal. There are literally pilots and engineers whose doctors have advised to not get the vaccine, and they are as or right now indefinitely exiled from their jobs, careers, life styles, livelihoods. It is beyond reprehensible. stay positive & keep vibin' (Cross posted this from the 'in the news' forum)
  9. John hopkins lists canada as having a 1.7% mortality rate. So 98%, sorry. Thats inline with my daily risk anaylsis matrix
  10. Yea this 99% survival rate virus is SO bad you have to take a test to know if your sick. Ok
