I have no idea if or when YUL would become a permanent base. The next deliveries and expansion are planned for next spring.

Yawn. we've been hearing that for years now. Any day I guess.

Thanks for the clarification. Seems a bit dirty but you still get 12 days off per month. I could only assume that pilots would duty out pretty quickly if the company truly takes advantage of not having a monthly cap. Either on a daily, weekly or monthly basis. I guess that's the price the pilots pa...

So under the new contract can the just pile on as much OT as they want? At straight time no less? Can they force you to work on GDOs? And how much of the above could they do on the previous contract? I still don't quite get how ALOT more money for 10hrs less work per month is so bad. Perhaps the an...

PCC shows that Flair is now operating a base out of YUL, is that real? Has it started operations? Or another attempt at having a YUL base, which keeps being pushed since 2022? And if real, is it going to remain or close up and have pilots that apply for employment with Flair wanting a YUL base, now...

This is hilarious. People in Canada are financially illiterate. I do not in any way defend Westjet or Alexis. But the numbers are the reason. It makes no financial sense unless you are running a money laundering/tax write off business. And that has been done/ is done. But there is no question that ...

Thinking about Captain upgrade would you join WestJet or Flair as an FO? I would take a much longer look at the big picture than just the upgrade. If all you want is the left seat as soon as possible then obviously Flair, Lynx, or Porter. At Flair we just awarded 10 upgrades, the range being hired ...

So why did it happen? It's been happening for awhile now, and it's far from a single pairing occurrence. If there's a good explanation for it I'm sure others will be as interested as I am in hearing about it. The schedule upload to NavBlue was corrupted and had to be added to the bid portal manuall...

Are you suggesting we bypass our MEC? This is supposed to be their job. I don't mind anyway, we just need to know. I am suggesting the fastest way to get things like that fixed is to bring it to the CP. You can ask your ALPA reps to bring it to me as well. Either way, we can't fix what we don't kno...

Hi TB, I think it's time someone looks at the reality of your pilot group. There are multiple instances of pairings such as the one pointed to here. Yeg has October pairings at the end of the month that spanne 4 days and one of those has no duty, no credits. They new bid packages for November are f...

Hi tbalyx. You say min 4 credit per day is being given to pilots if no duty assigned. Please explain this 5 day pairing YVR-CUN-YVR where pilots are not getting min 4 daily credit on DAY 2,3,4. Please see image below I can't. Didn't even know we had a 4 day layover somewhere. That seems suspicious....

I think you might not win this one in arbitration, given the definition is a calendar day and for the purpose of that even though the duty begins on the second calendar day, it finishes on the third. You even state for the monthly total days worked it counts as three days, you seem to have it both ...

Example: you're operating on the first day early morning ykf - yvr, start off day 0600lt (ykf) and they have you operate a red eye back that lands in ykf on the third day at 0530lt. So say September 1st to 3rd. It is very much so a 3 day pairing, and you should get 12 credits but you get 9.7 credit...

do you support paying pilots in accordance with the CBA? I do, and I'm confident that we are doing so. If you actually work here and want to discuss it give me a call anytime.

Do you think only pilots are reading this forum, and not TC or Tbaylx?

If you want this to cost you this price and stay the same, you should delete your post.

Tbaylx is very aware and also supports deleting that post

Hey that's great news! Then why does the program cost 2x? What 737 training is being provided as described in the program? O The 737 training provided uses Flairs FTD to complete part of the multi-engine training and the MCC portion of the course. It is not a type rating, although candidates will b...
