Just curious what your stable approach tolerance is that holding 170 to the faf (unless you have a super strong tailwind) won't work? In YYZ most of the fafs are far enough out that should be no problem to hit approach speed by 1000.

Posts like this are why many people don't report these issues to their CAME. The cat is definately out of the bag for you so you'll have to play their game.. just an observation more than anything, but it seems like many people just deal with it rather than talk with the doctors. We should encourage...

New bid next week.

YVR could see increases for 220FOs. Maybe 787 RPs as well with the -10s coming.

That being said almost everyone is going to end up in Toronto first.

Treat your medical as a snap shot in time. It's this year, what ever happened in the past was in the past. Being honest with TC is important, and if you're currently on meds it's best you be honest. I honestly don't see any productive reason to bring up the past. In the last year (or 6 months) have ...

In YVR at AC you could hold any YVR position shortly after the course (NB FO and RP). It wouldn't be a crazy wait for WB FO or NB CA either. On the last bid the junior NB C and 777 FO was around 3700 and 787 FO 4600.

6 crossings a month ???!! @#$! that junior schedules seems to be that, bunch of CDG / LHR , 24 hour layover, good thing is you are gone 48 hour, compares to the brutal 4 dayer 12 legs pairing we get on narrow body. To each his own. I’d much rather do 3 legs a day on a NB and be within 2 time zones ...

Hey guys, I won't stand on my soap box and ask for people to write their MPs and I know the problem doesn't come from the controllers on the other end of the radio. Yesterday though we were all given some relatively long in trail spacing delays heading east bound on a severe clear day. I am trying t...

I don't think it's a good idea, but that's how I was taught until my first solo, then when we got into soft field/short field we included flaps and included them after that. The reason was for go around performance if you forget them. Anyhow I turned out fine. Flaps are a funny thing. On the Airbus ...

Just curious what ballpark seniority # did the jazz guys start getting skipped on courses. Obviously it would be a rough number, are we taking mid 4000s, early 4000s, into the 3000s? I always felt you should get your seniority number day 1 of ground school, full stop. None of this reserved seniority...

Thunder all day long.

Where there is smoke there is fire. Frankly the leadership at Skyscare is such that if it were the only job available for my kids I'd welcome them home and wait it out. I'd not go to SC even if it were the only job available.

I wonder if Boeing is considering restricting which countries they sell their aircraft to. This reputational damage can't be good for them. Or perhaps they could make their aircraft more idiot proof like Airbus. Yea - cause Airbus is idiot proof. :roll: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pakistan_Intern...

But we do get C1s.

I can say with confidence 2/3 of the pilot group is not happy with this contract, even many who voted yes. Is it possible they’re just politely agreeing with you so you shut up? No. There is a lot of truth in what he says. Most people who voted yes always say they voted yes out of fear or pressure ...

Canada West boots are great and made in Canada.

I assume it is pretty close now? It's pretty close now, once you factored in the Canadian Discount... :roll: ALPA leadership got everyone on board with getting behind them to get rid of the Canadian Discount just to fold. Can't explain it. It's an okay job, but in Canada we are taxed higher than th...

Top PayScale on the 777 isn't that different than NB C. Especially when considering overseas premiums and the extra days at home.

I recommend taking your current pay divide it by 12.. then take NBC and divide by 16. Then consider what reserve is like. It should answer your question for you.

I cant speak for WS. At AC some YYC types seem to make a great go of it. 787 RP or FO doing the western arrow flying, or 320/737 FO and you'll be able to get many nights at home. You'd still be a commuter though and there are 100s of guys from YYC.

The only base representatives that feels we are world class is in Toronto. I am very disappointed in the YVR FO rep, I thought he valued us a bit more. YUL - I'll be polite but I'm not surprised YWG - weird technicality had them with as many votes as YYZ. You can buy a nice home 20 mins to the airpo...

Also the uniform since 2018 has been such a dog shit excuse for a uniform most of us wear different pants, don't have hats etc.

Solid post. I think most believe it's a bush airline that flies Airbus and Boeing's. The problem is some parts of management are great and have your back (chief pilots, duty pilots etc) it's the leadership from a corporate level and other employee groups who try to disrespect pilots where it falls a...

I just upgraded from a Garmin 3 to Garmin 7x pro. It’s fantastic. Primarily used as a sports watch, running, mtb, hiking, sleep tracking etc.. but it also tells time at work.

Go to AC as soon as you can IF you want to come here.

Waiting for the contract to drop and then coming will have hundreds of people ahead of you.

Porter and WestJet are likely better places at the moment, but I imagine that will change soon.

Good luck!

The ALPA strike pay only starts paying out AFTER two weeks on the strike line. I don't foresee us getting that far.

Over the next 50 years I'd gather the answer to be close to 100%

I've heard he got hired by one of the US legacies. He would need his head examined if he stayed.
