Re: Air Canada Pool

It's first 4 years that has a capped pay scale regardless of type. Once you go to the left seat you are no longer on the "flat" pay and move to formula pay for your aircraft type and YOS.

Re: Good Luck with that WJ......

Have a look at AC for all the London routes announced by WJ. Prices are identical or lower. Just looked at YVR-LHR for 250 total taxes in. Going to be a very competitive summer for the London market.

Re: New CPA and flowthrough to Air Canada?

Did I see $36/credit listed somewhere as the new starting pay? I never thought I would see the day where a Georgian RJ FO starts at a higher hourly wage than at Jazz.

Re: USA LAGs restrictions?

Perhaps I wasn't clear enough. My apologies. I used the term personal travel to attempt to differentiate from being deadheaded while on duty. Commuting travel is what I was referring to. Let me provide the following example just to be as clear as possible. Pilot lives in Windsor Ontario and works in...

Good day, If traveling on personal travel domestically within the USA can a Canadian pilot with valid RAIC in uniform expect the same Liquid and Gels exemptions as in Canada?

Nothing but good for that site! Can list yourself for any number of flights all at the same time and just get a full refund for the ones you don't use. Can also change travel plans last minute and re-route yourself if it means not spending hours or days in an airport like with old paper tickets. It ...

Hi Captain S

I just tried it and also had a slight white resolution issue with Sunan... It looks like there is at least one plane parked on the main apron there. It appears as though the military field is at a place called Sunchon... slightly northwest. You can zoom in on it with no issues.

Try Arcticovers in Winnipeg. I've dealt with them in the past for a light piston single and they asked for type and model as well as the year/serial number. Everything showed up made perfectly and fit exactly as expected.
