Re: Looking back
Is that the picture from the final flight for that bird? I believe I saw this one recently and the caption said it was in the harbour in St. Anthony after it was flown there to he put on display. Love the peas and carrots.

Re: Porter vs AC
Also, what can’t you celebrate xmas on the 23rd? Is that REALLY that big of a deal? When you have kids yes, it is that big of a deal. I disagree. I grew up with a dad who often worked the 25th and it was never a big deal. What kid doesn’t want Xmas to come a few days early? Those kind of things are...

Re: Why everyone runs to AC?
I decided to pursue a career as a pilot with Air Canada for several reasons. Firstly, the airline offers unparalleled job security and lifestyle flexibility, which are crucial considerations for any pilot. Moreover, the pension benefits provided by Air Canada are substantial; projections indicate t...

Re: Instructing and 703 ops
If you feel working in the morning and then showing up to do a 14 hour duty day is reasonable then I really question your decision making skills.

Re: PWA vs CP Air merger
Full rebid might be the only fair way considering the huge disparity in upgrade times. Can’t expect a year 10 WJ FO to fly with a year 3 Sunwing captain who gets to keep their seat. Won’t happen. There are a few 3 year captains but hardly any. The vast majority of SWG Captains have been here 10+ ye...

Re: Too young for a job?
I asked the same question here in 2010. Man I’m getting old. Your age won’t hold you back but immaturity will. Act professional and don’t be an idiot and you’ll be fine.

Re: PAL Q
Things in YHZ are good. All AC flying as mentioned above. Right now just 2 day pairings. Usually 3 flights a day. Combination of return flights to YOW YDF YQX and YYR. It’s very much an AC operation, feels like my old days at Air Nova. (I didn’t come here from JAZZ, just for the record) The AC CSR’...

Re: Losing another tail?
You mean to tell me one of the most sought after aircraft has been sitting for a year in YYZ. Find that very hard to believe. Do you have any references for this? Those four previous aircraft would have been exported within short order. I thought it was strange as well but it is true. I was approac...

Re: 1200TT pilot with jet time advice
Thanks for the tip @MD11, I will probably look into corporate flying before turboprops. The idea of a bond is not something that I can bear honestly, unless the gig is really good. Jazz is a great option but only if I get the jet time. Heard that you can’t really bid or pick your base/fleet so gett...

Re: Emirates or Air Canada
15 million saved? In 25 years? You'd have to sock away/have your investments perform to a tune of an average of $600,000/yr in accumulation. That doesn't sound realistic. I’ve a few friends currently at EK and 15 M doesn’t sound too outrageous with compound interest and if a very aggressively well ...

If it flew for 20 mins with nobody in it, it was far better rigged than every small airplane I’ve flown.

Yea - but could a cadet even fly Westjet mainline legally? I imagine Westjet would need to make a bunch of changes, including paying a higher insurace premium. Define bunch of changes? The only one I can think of is the one you listed. Nearly every company has lowered their hiring minimums lately. ...

Re: Invites for 2024 GS?
What will be interesting is after the merger the low time Sunwing guys that I’ve heard they’ve been hiring a lot of lately will likely not be able to fly at WJ. Perhaps the plan will be to offer them a position at Encore, and hence solve some of Encore’s staffing issues (for FOs anyway). I can’t se...
