Re: Winter 2025 Hiring

Honestly Jazz is a pretty solid company but if your goal is to get to AC, Flair is probably much faster. Apparently things have changed from even 2 weeks ago in terms of hiring . I stand corrected or what I said earlier, Feb and March are a go ahead and everything else is tentative. But again, this ...

Re: Winter 2025 Hiring

Jazz operates aircraft with 76-78 seats. Excluding the CPA carriers in the USA, which airline in Canada flying similar gauge aircraft makes Jazz pay look like shit? I said shit pay, I didn't say shit pay compared to x or y. Excluding the CPA carriers in the USA, all regionals and below pay shit. 61...

Re: Summer Ground School

While most pilots that spend a career in aviation will aim for a job that offers the LEAST amount of flying in return for the MOST $$, until you are walking around with an ATPL in your hand (a real one, not the 2000 hour c172 instructor version) your goal should be the job that has you flying 85 ho...

Re: Summer Ground School

Are they actually hiring DEC with 1500hrs and a fresh ATPL? Is that even possible if a candidate has no 705 experience? They tried and failed to go the DEC route. They offered it for a short period of time. From what I heard, they stopped it due to them wasting a lot of time and resources on 172 pi...

Re: Summer Ground School

I don’t know the exact language in the Cygnet contract but as I mentioned earlier , I believe Jazz is actually required to hire the candidates that finish the program. The Cygnet program was started a couple of years ago when Jazz thought “the pilot shortage” meant a shortage of FOs, now they are p...

Re: Summer Ground School

They do also need to fix the upgrade incentive at Jazz. Plenty of FOs in my situation, where the pay jump/ QOL decrease is not worth upgrading for. Why would you upgrade and work worse pairings/extra days for only a little more $ especially if you aren’t sure of your future career trajectory. If I d...

Re: Example Schedule

I’m a relatively high seniority FO at YVR on the RJ so throwing my 2 cents on here. Recently we have been flying avg blocking hours of 77.5 hrs per month and working 14-16 days per month. Even the lowest seniority guys on the RJ in YVR are working on average 15-16 days max at the moment. They do ho...
