Parked beside it that night. We were told they had a lightening strike and as a result there was th smoke smell and they did the emergency landing into YHZ. At 4 in the morning they were still trying to get the pax and crew places to stay.

Nope. Full salary from day one.

Maybe this incident will help in getting of the BS announcements that we do changed and maybe just maybe we can act like a professional airline.

Seriously though, I had a case of Chenin Blanc arrive from South Africa today, it goes well with the aforementioned bacon wrapped scallops.

MMMMMM BACON!

With a new agreement on the way there should be a raise but we will know soon I guess.
Oh and the time triggers are being changed to reflect brake release from what I understand. Not sure when it will be changing though.

I seem to remember talk of getting one or more of the 737-300's but maybe I am mistaken.

The guys that say "never use V/S at altitude" or "you must always reset your cruise altitude" or "always select a hard altitude on the legs page by deleting the A from a 3000A at a DTW" or we should "never overwrite 240 below 10000" and so on - should really spend more time on their days off studyin...

I stayed there during training and I can tell you all it is a great place and a very friendly couple as well.

how do i find this westjet private forum?
I didn't see it on AEF.

Ok thanks but I don't have a CFS.

Hi there,
I have an old friend that is an arrival controller in YYZ and I was wondering if someone could PM my the number to the area control center so I can leave her a message?
thanks

Ya I hear ya Jonny!

Heard Enerjet last night on Boston center heading east. Not sure of the destination though.
I think Transat and Sky are the only starting salaries that are maybe where they should. The rest of them suck !!

Some what on topic, Who's flying Canjet's German registered 737 that are over here for the winter? Canadian or foreign crews? I understood if it is a foreign registered aiccraft it would need to be operated by nationals from the country of origin? Not so. Last year Sunwing had a Dutch reg for the w...

Actually they had to go that route because after Canjet got their pilots for the season " someone " complained to the powers that be ( I have a good idea who). Now the approval is being slowed . Good way to stifle the competition eh?

First of all it is Sunwing not wings. If you were that interested in getting a job there you would know how to spell it. Having an ATPL by no way means your entitled to a job. Sunwing, Canjet and SkyService have and continue to hire there own people but when you add 10 planes for the winter months i...

Both Canjet and Sunwing upgrade when they can but they need crews ( both seats ) for the winter.
When you double or triple ( or more ) your fleet you can't possibly make it work otherwise.
Sky Service has been doing this for years although I am not sure of their current situation.

These pilots are type rated and are experienced they are also coming over with airplanes.

As for the post regarding air canada stereotypes..I think i would rather have an experienced professional crew (even if sometimes grumpy) looking after my safety, a cabin crew who is making a livable wage VRS a crew of 20 year olds telling corney jokes or who sing the safety briefings. But some peo...

Canjet has about 20 or so guys from a Company in Germany.
Sunwing is doing it as well.
The big thing is that they are only needed for the busy winter season and it works out well for all involved.

A buddy of mine just took a 5 year leave because he was told he would certainly be laid off.

I guess they looked at profitability as a factor. Can the company with the Maple leafs on their tail claim that?
