1. I don’t think this company will be around much longer.

   So many safety issues has lawyers just drooling for lawsuits.

   They are also the company of choice for hefty military contractors… so that gives you a pretty good idea on the quality and safety that the United States is buying.

   1. I find it interesting that in an environment where government wants to curtail your travels that an aircraft manufacturer is having deadly quality problems. Look for for much more of this, even in other modes of transportation.

      1. Good catch. It’s all on purpose even when it’s by accident.

2. So the swamp is drained a bit.

   Too bad. Aircraft are very useful.

3. Do androids dream of electric sheep?

   1. Dill pickles…

      They dream of dill pickles…

   2. Phillip K. Dick, great story. Blade Runner did a decent interpretation.

      Too many of the links could be associated with this comment, which are you referring to? Biden and Trudeau could well be malfunctioning androids, any of the religion ones.

      All of these will definitely get us to a dystopian future.

      1. One of the memes.

         1. Ah, embarrassing that I missed that. 🙁

   3. Do steampunk androids dream of hydraulic sheep?

4. Of course Trudeau lied about UNRWA funding… he can’t help himself

   1. Vast majority of Canadians have a long-term memory deficient. Anything older than last weekend is lost, or has been overwritten by MSM droids.
      Might even have been dis-remembered while consuming the beverages (or other) purchases from the last gov’t handout.

      1. Most Canadians are not intelligent enough to care.

         1. Or maybe they don’t want all their bank accounts, debit and credit cards frozen?

            1. If they were intelligent this circumstance would not exist in a free country.

5. Why do some comments refuse to post? Even if there’s nothing apparently wrong with them? This one did but my response to VOWG would not after two tries.

6. So the Turd is coming to Calgary huh…
   And he is meeting with Seniors…?

   huh, Can’t imagine why I (71), wasn’t contacted.
   …with any luck or celestial guidance his aircraft will malfunction…Steep Unrecoverable dive from 37,500′

   Make mY Day…

   1. Is it a Boeing? Probably an older model, so not much luck there.

      (Actually an Airbus A300)

7. It depends. Sometimes they take the VIP Challengers if it’s a short hop. By the way, they do have a couple of new VIP Challenger 650 that were bought a few years back -without a competition. Nothing is too good for our VIPs. A couple of the older jets were so old that they could not fly abroad due to regulatory changes that required more modern navigation equipment. Be prepared to say goodbye to the Airbus. These ancient aircraft are truly clapped out. Wiki: “The five Airbus aircraft that make up the fleet were originally civilian airliners purchased and operated by Wardair. First delivered in 1987 and 1988, they were transferred to Canadian Airlines when the two airlines merged in 1989. The aircraft were subsequently sold to the Canadian Armed Forces and converted for military use, entering service between December 1992 and August 1993”

   Seriously, Wardair…

   The CC150 Airbus will be replaced by the new CC330 Husky. It’s an Airbus. They will be tankers and strat transport with one VIP version. Nine aircraft will be bought. And OF COURSE, FIVE ARE USED AIRCRAFT. FFS, they just can’t help themselves. We’ll be keeping these things for the next 50 years, and they buy them already used. No word on how much the modifications will cost (civilian airlines don’t fly military tanker configurations, and mods don’t come cheap).
