I think they have year round flights out of Quebec now. They operated during the past summer in Quebec City. Business must be good.

Doesn't Canjet use foreign pilots? I just heard Air Transat is trying to get TravelService pilots for next winter. Is any of this true?

I heard Sunwing recently hired some Air Tansat pilots. Is this true?

Who did you learn this from?

Looks like a good way for someone to get a 737NG type rating and maybe 500 hours. Could find a contract job after that.

So who did they lay off now? Was it pilots, or office staff? Heard it is getting pretty thin in the office. Must be coming up on quarterly reporting time. Only way to post a profit for them these days seems to be lay some people off.

At least pilots will be able to find jobs.

So.....did they lay off pilots?

They are on days off on the stat holiday. Once the company gives you 9 stat days to be used when you want, you have to use a day off to actually get the stat holiday free from flying. You get your 2 weeks, and 9 stat days. Then you get X amount of days off each month. So, if you put your vacation an...

You are entitled to 2 weeks holidays, 3 weeks after 6 years, in addition to 9 days for stat holidays. Cargojet didn't pay their pilots stat holidays for a time. A pilot used the " open door " policy they had to bring up the issue. He was threatened with his job, and the " open door " policy became k...

I hear the KFC DC 10 is for a DND contract to run supplies to Afghanistan. Canada has extended this mission. Lapointe already has a pilot training contract with DND. So, he knows how to negotiate a contract with them. I don't think the DC 10 is to compete with Cargojets 767's.

When does Cargojet take delivery of the 757 ? What company flew it prior to Cargojet getting it?

$7 to $10,000 a year in per diems???? Are you ever home???

They did this study using nurses and airline crews. Won't be bidding for any red eyes.

I know some guys that work there. They say its a good company. They are currently doing a run for Cargojet. Can't remember which run though.

Is Zoom getting more 757's in addition to the one they already have? If so, why the change from 767 to 757? Are 767's getting harder to find?

Nite fr8 said: I have no problem with you, rather just with some of the things you present as fact but choose not to, or are unable to substantiate. Hey Nite Fr8, Lets make this a constructive thread okay? You substantiated what I stated. I said they got 2 more days off a month, you said you got 2 m...

My apologies if I offended anyone. Not my intent.

Can guys at Zoom fly for Zoom UK?

I never bashed the company. I stated what I have heard from my buddies who work there. This is an open forum isn't it? My buddies are not happy there. Thats a fact. I stated that they were getting 2 extra days off a month, hows that bashing? Cargojet issued a press release saying they were going to ...

Dude....why so sensitve? Relax. You say guys are happy, then they are happy. Good to hear that someone likes working there. I just hear way too many negative things about the way pilots are treated at Cargojet from the pilots themselves. Is it true the owner told a pilot " if you don't want to work ...

3 weeks on...3 weeks off

Thats funny!!!!....a dildo!!......on a rollerblade!!....I can't get that image out of my head!!!!

I know quite a few Cargojet pilots. They are not happy guys. They say that they have been given 2 more days off a month. But apparently their pilot guidebook stated that after 5 years of service, they could receive 4 weeks of vacation. Without even consulting with the pilots, this was quietly delete...

..

What company will be the first to receive the 787?
