Re: YVR destinations

Curious to know why you find a yyz-sfo or yvr leg that bad? Is it because of the E2? Or is it simply because it's too long time wise, and it wouldn't matter what plane you were doing it on? It doesn't matter what I'm flying. After 2.5 hours I'm ready to be on the ground. The E2 is great. Except for...

Re: The end of Flair?

The company is aware that there is a problem with online payments but isn't saying much other than the fact that they are working on it and should have things up and running by the end of today. There's been a few email about it throughout the weekend. Of course they are aware of it, there are in d...

Re: Cargojet or Flair?

Hi, Quite a new pilot here with some jet experience. I had the luck to get an offer from both Cargojet and Flair Airlines but hesitating between the two of them. Context, I was employed by Lynx Air and got furloughed as they stopped operations, but it seems that Flair are pretty solid (even though ...

Larger issue would be ETOPS.

Re: Dash to E2 left seat upgrading

FOs are now restricted to 3 a month plus new hires have a 2 year fleet lock on type although that may have changed as of late. Exactly. The 3 a month includes FO's, it is not just Captains. I’m confused, I’m hearing 2 years, and I’m hearing 5 years. I’ll take the worst of the two in consideration a...

Re: Dash to E2 left seat upgrading

Just for more clarity though, the company only transfers Dash captains to the jet at 3 per month. So unless you have seniority, it'll be a looong time until moving over. Just to clarify more, the MINIMUM is 3 transfers per month. Presently that’s what they are doing. He is not wrong, any pilot to w...

Re: E2 new hires

You should be able to get a full block within a few months after line check. Really at this point it is just until those below are line checked so shouldn't be too long. Reserve is assign on least block disruption and reverse seniority (i.e, think best fit). If the senior pilot has least block disru...

I second this. Laid back and very supportive group. Good place to learn and learn you will. W here else can you go left seat on a +12.5 machine at 800TT. Work 2-3 days a week and flying is never boring. Will probably miss it when I leave. This says EVERYTHING. Of course they voted in a brutal contr...

Re: Losing another tail?

You mean to tell me one of the most sought after aircraft has been sitting for a year in YYZ. Find that very hard to believe.

Do you have any references for this? Those four previous aircraft would have been exported within short order.

Re: Any plans for Socialized bidding?

Nothing is definitive in this industry, but no would socialized bidding will not come as there is a lot of folks that benefit under seniority bidding. Why would we give that up for folks who are not here or just started.

Re: Dash to E2 left seat upgrading

Yes, most are going left seat to left seat.

There is about a dozen that went left seat to right seat. That said, the transition is as slow as watching paint dry.
