I go here and there. Sometimes I take pictures while I’m there.
Since I’m Canadian there is absolutely no reason why my Lego avatar should have a pilgrim hat, yet here we are.

An interesting/odd bit of Canadian trivia (well known in Canada, maybe not so much elsewhere); we have a reputation for tolerance, politeness, hospitality, and producing terrifying, hyper-aggressive soldiers in times of war.

I have some issues with Carney. I don’t appreciate that he expresses concern for Canadian workers while undermining collective bargaining.
At the same time I DO appreciate that we have a calm, intelligent Prime Minister who speaks in complete sentences instead of slogans.

I like flying with junior pilots. It’s why I’m in the training dept. We hire great people; I enjoying working with them.
My last two days in the sim were with a senior FO though, only around 1000 numbers junior to me (with more time than me on the 330).
My workload was noticeably reduced

A few weeks ago my colleagues at WestJet had a gear collapse while landing in St Maarten.
It was reported as a “hard landing” and the pilots were blamed in the media.
Much less media coverage with the initial TSB report.
Not a hard landing.
Not the pilots’ fault.

Two days in the sim completed.
One day of maneuvers - just one emergency after another. One day of more real-time scenarios, “flying” gate to gate.
All signed off for another few months.
Off to Paris tomorrow.

In this nondescript building, near the airport admin facilities, the Flight Attendants do a lot of their practical training. Aircraft doors. First Aid. Fire extinguishers. They have full “cabin simulators” to put them through the paces.
Pilots also stop by once a year for ground training.

If you fly people around for a living then one of the most common emergencies you deal with is passengers in medical distress.
When someone is having a serious issue it becomes a team effort for the crew and our support staff on the ground.

An orca expert on Insta just clued me in to a horrifying thought;
All of the whales (dolphins etc) who aren’t lucky enough to die suddenly will die of drowning.
When they get too old and sick to keep on going… dying of old age… they’ll be too weak to swim to take that last breath - they all drown.
