Re: Are Encore pilots aware they are accepting 705 wages below PC-12 & King Air captain rates?
If that’s true, Encore’s top pay rate for Q400 captains is my base pay for year 1 ATR Captain at 5T.

Re: First Officer ATR42 - Ottawa
Pay starts at $64K or so, company will pay up to $2000 a month in commuting to get you to Ottawa, where you fly up on company jet. Schedule is “basically” two weeks up, two weeks home, but it’s a bid so sometimes it’s a bit less, sometimes a day more. They can’t send you up for anything less than 6 ...

I worked there for a year a few years ago; if you wanna know something, feel free to ask, but do it here. No sense in PMs.

Re: Drug / Alcohol Screening Test
You pee in a cup for drugs and blow in a breathalyzer for booze.
Don't drink the day before you go, and you're fine.

Re: Next steps after getting to atpl minimums
I emailed them my logbook, pictures of my exam results and my license, as well as my type rating.
I got my ATPL sticker in two weeks.
I was at 2600 hours, but it was quick.

Re: Cameron Air CYTZ
Last I heard, your compensation will be 35,000 / year. You will have the opportunity to fly the right seat in the PC-12NG. And after about a year on the 206, you can go to the Caravan. And then after a year of that, you can be a dedicated PC-12 crew. Note that this info is from 2021, so some things...

Re: Cameron Air CYTZ
I worked there for two years and loved it. The flying is fun, you meet interesting people, and the planes are all in good shape. They have a very busy PC-12 now as well.

ATR hiring?
Are they really gung-ho about the multi time for FOs?
2500 hours, ATPL, 1500 turbine, but no multi, really.
I’ve never had an answer from an email…. Can anyone shed some light?

Re: Buffalo Pay Scale
Nothing like low time pilots getting mileage pay in shitty old airplanes up north for a shitty company that's had their AOC revoked more times than I can count; nothing says "safety" like attaching your paycheque to how often you fly. I get paid mileage and haven’t once let it get in the way of mak...

Dan Gryder is a fucking idiot, but it's hard to disagree with him.
There's a reason why Canadian Otters have two linkages on the trim tab.

Re: Fired?
Not a wheel should spin until they are back on property. Under what legal principle/right would a unionized pilot have to deny the employer his/her services? You can’t just not show up for work because you’re upset. Sure you can. You can not come to work for any reason. Your employer might not like...
