... Controller salaries in Canada are on par with international salaries ... We’re are in this together ... Why should you get paid the same as controllers internationally? We aren't paid anywhere near what the US or other countries pay their pilots. Could you explain to me what "We are in this tog...

Is there any horn protection for the gear in the 320? Master Warning (unfortunately same ding, ding, ding, ding, ding as the flap Overspeed - though it should have been on the ECAM if they read it). GPWS - Too low gear, pretty loud and hard to miss. Pilots SA - if they were trying to dive bomb onto...

Wow, I can't recall a Large Passenger Airliner ever forgetting to put down gear in recent memory. Does anybody know, has this ever happened before historically on similar sized aircraft? I'm thinking if they committed to the belly landing once they realized, more people might have survived. Such a ...

No one is giving real numbers. Most people with symptoms are not being tested.

Also per diem is NOT part of your wages.. it's to cover your expenses on the road.

And like $3300 in ESP. Tell the whole story man. That’s meant for retirement. Imagine not having to crack into your retirement on a regular basis just to survive.... Ummmmm no it’s not all meant for retirement. 20% matched is for retirement? No. Nobody puts 40% away for retirement. That just shows ...

As of right now Rouge does already have reserve. It's voluntary and only when the corp needs it, but the reserve rules are significantly better than ML. To just get ML reserve would be a huge concession. We are not in a recession and there is no reason why we should negotiate a concession. Managemen...

No, the majority of guys I fly with are great. Many of them don't post on forums, and even if they do we talk about skiing, traveling, diving, kids and life more then how the company is screwing us over. If they want to talk about the company screwing us over, the company has a nice press reader app...

On my fleet it’s required anytime the runway is less than 7,000 feet, the pressure altitude is >7,000, runway is contaminated or you have a tailwind. I’ve got in the habit of doing it every leg, but it’s not required.

The planes will visit many of the bases. They also have ramp crew to train. Short sector flights are great for checking boxes in flight operations line indoc etc, but the ground guys in YVR, YYC, YEG, YYT, YHZ benefit from seeing the plane as well.

If you can find a school that has a Citabria or another tail dragger that would be your best way to becoming a better pilot.

Guess he or she had selected a good field and set up well for it.

WB FO, even junior isn't bad at all. But a new hire at the bottom would move up that list very slow as senior guys drop in. I beg to differ. I think being very junior ML WB FO is one of the worse jobs we have. The only thing that makes it palatable is either formula pay, or SJS (for those select pi...

Definitely a sizeable number commute out of YYT and a small handful out of YDF this is at AC.

Commuting sucks, but some guys make it work.

I anticipate a huge increase in volleyball sales.

So it is basically not possible to own a house until you are in your 30s if you base out of yyz/ytz (porter)? AC is not much better. FOs I've flown with have been getting by via various means. Some have partners that work. Some budgeted for this at their old job. Many older FOs are from the PML so ...

AC is not much better. FOs I've flown with have been getting by via various means. Some have partners that work. Some budgeted for this at their old job. Many older FOs are from the PML so they got their top up. Some live with parents. Some have roommates and are extremely frugal. One has confessed ...

Hey Eric, does it use vacuum/pressure to suck or push out the fuel or is there an actual pump to pump out the fuel? Based on the fact its still pissing away on landing I guess it may be a pump.

He thinks he's going to be the Captain.

If I'm not, even better - free beer! Hope that is a thing at AT.

I hope any AT guys don't get too worried. There are many of us at AC that will be happy to have you're experience join us in the flight deck. I don't get too wrapped up with work and the chips will fall where they do. Lets keep the politics to managment. Look forward to buying the beer on any layove...

Going to be a mixed bag... some senior EMB guys for sure... lots of junior ish NB C are interested. Id take the pay cut it does <12 days of work reliably at what ever seniority % I can hold... otherwise just enjoy rouge for now.

Some guys go and get pissed on long layovers and others excercise and head out for a run or hike in the AM the next morning not feeling like a pile of piss and some others keep to themselves. While I do drink socially, often I am more keen to wake up early and get some fresh air. Ive never felt bad ...

Take a look at the clarity alofts. I have flown with them in various small airplanes including noisy Harvard, C185 and Pitts, metro (very noisy) and an airbus and they are very comfortable and quiet. No batteries required (no ANR). I have had mine for about 10 years and over 7000 hours. Only issue w...

If I recall correctly that DC10 job was 110k a year, so not worth the time.

I agree as above. There are a few contract jobs that cab work you out of YVR. May be your best bet.

I think a lot ACPA guys/gals just reversed their opinion on merging with ALPA..... Yes and no. It does seem that in hindsight going for the strike may have made sense and the arbitration seemed to have been a bad choice. Don't underestimate the dissatisfaction with ACPA leadership though. The YYZ L...
