Yup, pretty much. Most of the new AME’s when I was there came from JAZZ.

Yes Trump Airlines lasted 1 year

In the 18 years I worked there I have never heard that.

I'm with you. Peasants fly with only 2 engines.

I’ll take a Falcon any day over a Bombardier or Gulfstream.

If you’re interested in a 604 position, there’s Sobey’s, Oxford/Shaw in YHZ. There maybe a couple of more I can’t think of. In YSJ there’s the 3 Irving flight departments, Irving Air Service, Ocean Aviation, and Irving Oil Transport. Shoreland Transport (Cooke Aquaculture) is also there. McCain’s is...

PAL has the classic and Q crews split. Only ones checked on both are in the training department.

PAL does not have any Q’s on the west coast. All our AC Express flying is YOW and east, BOS and EWR.

I’m not corporate anymore, but fly in and out of EWR with PAL Airlines. Most days there are ground delays, especially after lunch. On an IFR day most EDCT’s are an hour to upwards of 3hrs.

Is a good source for possible EDCT delays

All the PAL Q's are in the standard PAL white livery. No plans for the AC Express paint as far as I know. It would be nice, but the airplanes rotate through YYT and YUL bases and do PAL sched flights and charters. I'd love to see just AC Express dedicated airplanes with new interiors. As far as rese...

Can’t speak for YUL, but YHZ is all AC Express flying, BOS, EWR, YOW, and a little bit of NL flying. Mostly day pairings, odd 2 day, and a couple split/continous duties. Junior pilots are mostly reserve, with a couple pairings. 12-14 days off a month. I haven’t done an overnight since January. Prett...

Those are all going to PAL

In YHZ we only have one overnight in YOW, rest are all day pairings.

What DanWEC said.

Personally I think PAL is only being used as a stop gap until AC acquires more aircraft, and eventually PAL’s AC flying will be taken over by jets. Either JAZZ or mainline. The YYT, YOW, YQX, BOS and EWR routes out of YHZ should be done on a jet.

PAL has leased another hangar in YHZ that fits the Q400, and if I am not mistaken about a dozen maintenance personnel working there now.

Connect is done, their CA has been revoked and two of the tails are sitting in parked in YHZ. One missing an engine.

These guys are great.

Complimentary is not free

Irving Oil which Arthur was running is a separate entity and flight department to JD Irving.

I used Dr. Jonasson last time, albeit a virtual medical . I belive he is located in Hammonds Plains area. https://pilotandmarinemedicals.ca/ I did an in person medical with him recently at his place in Hammonds Plains. Great guy, has an ECG machine if you need one of those as well. Easy to book onl...

It is not PAL, and our skippers are making more than what is advertised on that above mentioned site.

Nothing has changed as far as I know.

EVAS….that’s harsh

Only the Q is based in YHZ. We are only doing AC Express flying.

According to PIVOT’s Linkdin page, they have acquired Q’s and more CRJ200’s. No mention of what they are doing with them.
