Re: Pilot Hiring 2025

Does flair ever hire 1000 hour instructors for example? What are the chances someone with that experience gets any consideration? Thanks! We have hired several pilots with around 1000 TT, however we prefer at least some of that experience to be operational 703/704 time. It is unlikely that a candid...

Re: Pilot Hiring 2025

We don't intend to change the minimum TT hiring requirements for First Officers, however, what it takes to be competitive varies depending on supply and demand.

We won't be hiring off the street into YYC for the foreseeable future. It's a relatively senior base with several internal pilots waiting for open spots. It will likely take additional aircraft being added to YYC before we have any openings.

Re: So how actually is at the other side of the fence?

Sounds like a lot of Porter E2 FO’s are thinking about sending in an application. Be interesting to see if AC set themselves up perfectly with more pilots lining up for the low end junior pay. There is no reasonable amount of money that Porter could have paid their FOs that would have prevented an ...

Re: 11.2 Billion dollars

We're also a long way from drones replacing piloted aircraft, they're a valuable augment but not a replacement, especially for fighter operations. A rare investment in our military by the current government is a good thing.

Re: Pilots thinking of leaving WJ due to 16 year upgrades

How is the company going to claim that the AR program that they had in place for years now is suddenly "undue hardship"? Furthermore for the most part these AR guys are not looking for money, they are just bored guys with no hobbies. Air Canada made the same argument successfully. If Westjet's rout...
