Very true, there are 2 months a year where you get an extra paycheque. So at base level that's an extra $3500ish, net, that changes the numbers mentioned above a bit.

Re: Flair Suspending Growth Plans amid Delivery Delays and Debt
So their workaround is booking through a classy third party aggregate site, cheapo air- owned by 777. I assume it's temporary. I checked a few flights, and many didn't translate to Cheapo. The one flight that did was $199 on flyflair but $305 on Cheapo, hope it's just WIP. I've flown Flair several t...

Re: Flair Suspending Growth Plans amid Delivery Delays and Debt
I’m 99% sure we don’t use Sabre or Radixx, ours is processed through Amelia. Your numbers, below, illustrate in perfect clarity why pilots should fly, and leave the bookkeeping tasks, to bookkeepers. I won’t say everything is fine but I will say you should shut your yap when spouting off on topics ...

Re: Flair Suspending Growth Plans amid Delivery Delays and Debt
My error. It looked like Flair's site was up as of 7:30 am Sunday morning. https://www.sabre.com/radixx/ Whatever is going on, this issue is isolated to Flair. My observation was based on flight options being generated by the system, which is more than was possible in the previous 24 hours. I have ...

Re: Flair Suspending Growth Plans amid Delivery Delays and Debt
Hmmm another unpaid vendor finally pulling service? Seems odd to me that these "glitches" (ADP and now this) start happening when Flair's payment processor is withholding cash until services are rendered to the customer stopping Flair from using tomorrows bookings to pay todays bills. This is preci...

Re: Flair Suspending Growth Plans amid Delivery Delays and Debt
This kind of publicity is the worst. The article's tone borders on malicious. Yes, they're rightsizing their schedules for the season, and tempering growth, and have a negative balance sheet with a self-admitted end somewhere down the line, (!) but to lead with a catastrophic assumption does a lot o...

Re: Having issues with Medical?
It's so frustrating hearing these anecdotes. Transport Canada Medicine seems to have further devolved into an increasingly dysfunctional, opaque organization. CAME's I've spoken to lately are less than complimentary of the recent changes. I've ben told it's now an ex-military doctor in the lead who'...

Re: Flair Suspending Growth Plans amid Delivery Delays and Debt
Rudder, purely as an aside conversation, I thought that ADP was authorized to distribute existing funds from what is essentially either a charter account or an account wholly managed by the corporation, with access authorization to ADP. I'm only basing this on what I've seen from looking at small sc...

Re: PayScale/Deductions
Well, mostly true. I do know for a fact while comparing 1st year paystubs, TS was ahead of AC. Deductions sure narrowed the gap but takehome was still slightly more. The comparator at TS had opted out of the CHP coverage but that accounted for only a small portion. The LTD/STD deductions are a hotbu...

I'm bored. Like really bored, so here goes :) So, there's no MFF yet, and unknown if it'll proceed. It needs to come with a generous kitty if it does. I've flown both, and I have a definite preference, Pros and cons from my perspective; (As a caveat, some of my info on pairings is several years old....

Re: Studies correlated with aerial firefighting
Hi, good question. Given most of that flying is more pure hands and feet, anything academic might only help with resume ammo to get into admin or director roles, but I'd suggest something involving forestry and conservation. Back in university for Bio I did an elective that was along the lines of ar...

Re: Transat or Porter?
All accurate opinions. It comes down to what you want. If you're DEC eligible you can make much more at Porter right off the hop, but you'll work a lot more- for some that doesn't matter. It's the personal preference of work to live vs live to work. There are many places where you can make more $$ t...

Re: Transat or Porter?
Your first years at Transat are the same as the 4 year flat pay salary as AC but your deductions are double, so the take-home is terrible.

Re: Bonza flying approved.
So Oz gets lower paid pilots to undercut the incumbents?
If I'm wrong please rebuke me, I'm curious to hear the arrangement.
Edit, just read it's a dry lease? Then who cares?

Re: AvCanada finally restored and functional once again
I doubt Russian hackers would have any desire to take down avcanada, there's no value or utility, but sure seems like either a brute force or ddos attack. Ddos is intentional and targeted purely for disruption, so someone would have to have an axe to grind. Brute force is also targeted, trying to lo...

Re: Emirates or Air Canada
One thing to note is that an upgrade carrot isn't regarded as the only way to start making a livable wage and an excuse to depress FO wages into poverty, so the necessity for the all-important upgrade we're clamoring for here doesn't exist. Capts make about 40% more than FO's at Emirates, not more t...

Re: Flair/Lynx Merger
I'm curious as to if the subsidy stops. Flair could go another 10 years just being propped up, who knows. The pockets are very deep and 777 must have a function for the money going to Flair. I think pilots there are safe for a few years at least anyways.
