Re: Alkan Air?

Would anyone know the taxation relief that applies in the north ? If there is such a thing as Danger pay as I might have heard from few chaps that worked up north quite some time ago?

Re: Jazz Boeing 757's arriving Wednesday . . . Nov 3/10

It is photoshopped. I have the same pic in a green colour.

It will be in Thomas Cook livery and probably with in little print " Operated by Jazz Air" by the front door.

Re: Porter flying me to Toronto - Ramp Attendant

These days aviation is not the only area that does pre employment drug screening, alot of places do it. Working in the oil patch, truck drivers and the list goes on and on. Seems to be the norm more than the exception now.

I think that with retirement under 65 years you are penalized a % of what you would get if you went to 65, I don't know the % offhand.

Re: Jazz pilots contract?

Neither. The strike notice has not been given as they are apparently making progress in negotiations. With that in mind we could give notice anytime if the negotiations have broken down.

Hopefully we don't have to but we are ready.

Re: Question regarding aviation medical?

The large and or organized 705 companies all have some sort of substance abuse program. Or it is available through the union or benefit plan. This usually means you have been nicked and that is a way of getting the medical back. I don't know what you do if you don't have the benefit of such a progr...
