Oh goodness. Now a global warming argument. Just when I thought APC couldn’t get more ridiculous.

The chances of getting layovers in St. John’s I’m guessing are less than that of us getting 330’s, but probably higher than us getting profit sharing.

Only? That's enormous! You highly doubt because it doesn't sound like a lot, but it's .8°C (1.4°F), and that's a huge amount for the planet!

”A one-degree global change is significant because it takes a vast amount of heat to warm all the oceans, atmosphere, and land by that much. In the past, a one- to two-degree drop was all it took to plunge the Earth into the Little Ice Age. A five-degree drop was enough to bury a large part of North America under a towering mass of ice 20,000 years ago."

We are causing climate change, it's not a debate anymore.

Russia is heavily investing in ice breakers (some armed) so they can control the Arctic shipping lanes and natural resources. The USA has two, and they're both about 40 years old. We need to get our heads out of the sand.

Maybe you can join the flight shame movement?

Ahh, the straw man argument you accuse others of.

Stick to lying about being a FA, a pilot at regional, or knowing new destinations; that’s more your thing.

Yes I am guilty of it too:/

...but that is what happens when your emotion gets the best of you. Noticed what Lumberjack posted? He was so caught up in his global warming emotion that he didn’t even realized that what he posted isn’t even what I was arguing about. That only point I was trying to make it that .5C probably isn’t even enough in temperature rise to prevent people from Ice skating in that area in Ottawa that the other poster was talking about. I even provided an article (very unlike me when I talk about a new Spirit destination) from this winter to prove my claim. Yet Lumberjack, like a few others heard the word global warming and came running on here with their torches and pitch forks and didn’t even bother to understand what I trying to commenting about.

That’s just my rant for the day...

Can we get back to Canada? Jeez.

Vancouver and Calgary is what I’m hoping for. Those are some pretty cool places.

I could see us doing well with flights from LAX or ORD to those places.

IF we do get overnights they will most likely be scheduled for 16:44 or less. PBS is the demise of our long stay hotels. Have fun eating grossly overpriced Canadian food at the hotel bar.

Though it's not very realistic I would definitely enjoy some Victoria layovers.
