Because he's Rick Mercer

Because he was there about the planes, the flying, AND his cars. Not the drama, stress and bs of running the company and dealing with the people. That's how. At the end of the day, he's a big hearted, kind man who is passionate about his interests. The television show put the wrong spotlight on him, a spotlight he didn't even want to be in.

They're not laugh tracks. It's a studio audience.

+K. M. A. If it is they do a pretty damn good job of doing the exact same laugh over and over again and suddenly shut up

+Rick te Kronnie The show is filmed before a live studio audience. As part of his show, he shows these segments that he's done "out in the field" to that audience. It's definitely possible that they add a laugh track to that part, but I don't see why they would bother.

We use the weight & balance from the afm, observing compartment weight limits for each respective flight station

Thomas Biddlecombe It's not fake

+Leanne Strong They hire anybody who wants to try. Most don't make it to the co pilots seat though. At buffalo you don't just get hired as a pilot, you start at the very bottom doing the dirty jobs in the warehouse or driving a courier van and it can take months just to get on one of their planes.

If you watch the show you’d see at least 2 female pilots that were featured during the shows run (likely more over the years that we didn’t get to see). And as mentioned in these comments, they will hire people that can commit to working through the ranks without quitting and if they get only a few female applicants you can’t blame Buffalo

Eastern Explorer will

Its not that they can't afford it, its just not worth it. If the population was larger they would build a road.
