It may very well depend upon new regulations regarding temporary foreign workers.

Westjet and Nationwide hospitality are way ahead of you, having negotiated rates for us in and around the YYC airport. Thanks for thinking of us.

Nor am I sir, I try to spend a little less than I make and save for a rainy day.
Nor do I wish to disparage one system or another.My curiosity was genuine.
Like art, I know what I like.
Paul Gaugin's paintings of naked Polynesian women are my favorites.

A-330; Bede's estimate is bang on. My neighbour is a emb Captain, I know exactly how much he makes. I know how much my F/Os make on the 737. It's about the same. Can anyone answer this question for me... Do one's pension contributions at AC use up all of one's RSP contribution room? Are the contribu...

Here's hoping for a Hedonism logo...

The above statement is correct. Straight time is eligible for ESP and contributes to one's profit sharing , overtime does not.

Yhz Numbers are steady. What KAG said was true when we had a Transat contract.
There is also a Port in YOW and a Flight attendant only Port in Montreal.

If you are as close as you say to receiving a TC medical and ATP, I would go ahead and apply now.
Having said that, I do not know if the online application requires that you enter license number , medical expiry etc.
Dave will come on later and clarify.

John...
What you said...agreed.
I bought a watch with my first profit sharing cheque, today they tell me it's $125 for a new titanium strap.
I'll be ecstatic if my cheque will by me the new strap.

I'm not sure what you are getting at, but I can assure you that Westjet's debt is quite manageable and our owners are handsomely compensated. I don't have the details here in my house early this Sunday morning, but sapy scales, aircraft orders, and debt are all public knowledge. Start with the annua...

I could go to Florida and buy a house for $90,000 that was selling a few years ago for $300.

Dats what um talkin' bout!

Rumbling of what?

Zat so...? I had beers with an AA F/O (a 19 year F/O at that) in Miami not to long ago. He had a 3000 sq ft home in Omaha Neb., worth about 300k last year. He pays $7000 property tax to the city. Same story a few weeks later, couple in a slightly bigger home on a corner lot in Coral Gables Fl., agai...

Lurch is on glue, his statement might have had some relevance in the last century. Not any more.
Low pay and lay-offs characterize the American scene these days. Canada's aviation industry is showing a modicum of stability and many pilots are cautiously optimistic.

Yes
27 years after soloing.

I have a fond memory of Rick which I'd like to share, I saw him Christmas Day in Toronto, he was halfway through a bottle of Appleton's. We chatted about his land in the Annapolis Valley and his dream of building a house there. In heaven there is a view from South Mountain and a bottomless bottle of...

"Just a little Montrachet 1978 from Domaine de la Romanée-Conti." I need to get a job like you.... that stuff is about 2500 bucks a bottle. (or come on man...some of us know wine) Seriously though, I had a case of Chenin Blanc arrive from South Africa today, it goes well with the aforementioned baco...

No one except the WJPA executive has seen the agreement, including beak-off artist Balfour. There will be no 2% pay cut, because if such a ludicrous proposition is put forth, it will be voted down, thus making Balfour's point moot.

$82.12. This does not include ESP, profit share of stock options.

Everyone sells their shares all the time. You may sell non-registered (non rsp) shares 4 times per year and rsp shares 4 times per year. If the price is decent, you should. What you spend it on is up to you. The best advice I've gotten is to pay off your house, this is aviation after all. No one, I ...

I will expand on my colleague's statement and say we have hundreds of pilots and flight attendants commuting from Ontario,

Any commute from the east is a whole lot easier than watching the value of your home drop by 10s or 100s of thousands of dollars.

By my unofficial, but reasonably accurate count, 42% of pilots commute. I used the PORT stats that are e-mailed out every month and then added up on my fingers the guys whom I know to commute but do not or cannot (due to location) utilize a PORT. It looks like most commuters live in YVR. The rest ar...

Finally...someone with enough sense to leave the Canjet guys to their business and get back to serious topics like culture , drinking and music. I imagine that there is about 60 pilots at Canjet, with 60 different reasons for working there. The most common reasons being , like the rest of us, they d...

Hey while I was watching your youtube posting, I came across this one: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G-PQbdmQRwc&feature=related The guys singing with Stan and his brother Garnet, are the members of Ryan's Fancy( I'm dating myself). I don't know who the other young man at the table is. Funny thing ...
