+1 for Bill's Cockpit Companion. Haven't tried the app but I feel like it'd be well worth the $85, so I'll get it.

It doesn't matter one bit if the timing is off by a few months. The plan isn't based on the summer of '21. its a multi year expansion and if COVID keeps everyone on the ground to the fall then it hurts everyone as much, if not more than Flair. The airline will be there and positioned to take advant...

Yet another way Canada managed to screw their own airlines and divert business to US airlines. It’s almost laughable at this point. https://www.cbc.ca/news/business/canadian-snowbirds-hotel-quarantine-land-border-travel-1.5980913 Let me say the vast, vast majority of the population have zero tolera...

it's spirit airlines, get in, buckle up and shut up. Budget carrier. I can feel the entitlement bleeding from the article. The family just had to take a trip for passover with a 2 year old and a pregnant wife and their special needs child. I really don't understand the ignorance that comes with thi...

What's wrong with doing a medical? Many airlines do it.

Honestly I've long given up the idea this financial assistance/loans/bailout or whatever you want to call it, is coming. I'm sure most airlines are already doing this, but here we are financially planning assuming no help from the government. That way, if it comes, it will be a relief/bonus but not ...

Dont ever believe the quoted prices on their website man, that's the classic attitude that leads to people being taken advantage of by ULCcs, their hole business model is predicated on taking advantage of exactly that. When we did flights for Flair a few years back the passengers were mostly immigr...

For anyone that's interested, Gemini Jets is making a 1/200 scale Air Transat A321NEO. Should be released soon if not already.

It's calculated based on time away from base. But yes, if it were 24 hours, then it would be $84.

Is it possible to commute? yyj to yvr or yyc to yvr? any idea on the current milage or per diem pay might be? 67k is pretty damn good for year one FO in Canada. Yes, you can commute. We have jumpseat agreements with Air Canada, Westjet and Harbour Air. We also fly between YYC and YVR. Per diem is $...

Yes, there is a way to make the ULCC/LCC/whatever CC nomenclature you want to assign, work. Flair is resolving to make that come to fruition. So far, it doesn't look like they are failing as all the pundits predicted within their first 1 or 2 years of inception in the airline side of the biz. Don't...

Does that float your boat?

You were dying to use that pun weren't you

If you refer to you and me, I think we probablyagree. But for an ethically challenged person who makes money every time someone watches his video, then yes, I expect you might disagree. But from their perspective (ego and money), the watches are wins. Remember the guy who shot Lennon? Or the others...

This question is hard to answer. It depends on a variety of metrics. Where you live geographically, kids? Where do they go to school. What's your partners career (if applicable) like? What level of your career are you in? What is your end goal geographically? Most importantly, what is your seniority...

*sigh* I can only imagine how difficult that letter would have been to read for any SR pilot Hoping the transition goes smoothly and everyone furloughed or laid off finds themselves in a seat soon! Jazz is a great company. Wish you guys all the best!

I’d be more curious to see how it compares to the same week last year not last week. If you are operating at 5% capacity and your bookings are up 500% that’s still only 25 % of pre covid Good point, but I also wonder if the 600% is based on projected operating capacity, vs 5% , if that's what it ac...

Damn, yeah I searched but couldn't find it.

Huh? Where did this come from?

Awesome! Looks good in those colours! Enjoy the NG, you'll enjoy it!

I agree with Gino 100%, and I stand by my statement that this country cannot make a ULCC work. I do however - wish the Flair crew good luck in their venture and invite them to prove me wrong. I will happily eat my words and buy them the first round at the next layover. 8) Sadly, I won't be able to ...
