Re: Approx Net Pay - First Year Q400 Captain
Yes, it's possible. There is a guy here Keith Mello.
If you hire him as a consultant, he'll walk you through it.
Go for year 5 pay, with 6 weeks vacation to start !
Aim high !

Re: Is WestJet an essential service, where the government can mandate striking pilots back to work?
WestJet pilots are professionals. There won't be blocking of bridges or roads, or acting like angry protesters. Its no value to trash the profession by wearing costumes or shouting at people. Pilots won't be harassing passengers or catsa workers or other airline crews, most are already supporting. ...

Re: Sunwing/Westjet
Would Sunwing hire anyone from Westjet before the deal is official and the ink is wet ?
Afterwards, I would guess it would be no. but before ?
asking for a friend. He only has 2 years worth of mainline seniority.

it BETTER be about the shareholders ! Call up all the management of the equities in your TFSA and RRSP and tell them you want less returns on your investments. You're just a greedy 1%er. Canada should have a flat income. Whatever your profession, all income should be the same. Or at the least a guar...

Re: How are flight attendants allowed to make less than Min Wage?
Anyways, can we get back to the topic of the thread. FA's don't make less than minimum wage. Minimum wage is based per hour, not per year. Further, FA's are subject to a CA which makes the union (and not the government) in charge of enforcing labour laws. That's how it's allowed. But if you have to...

Re: Encore ground school final
Either no one else will hire him or there is a gun to his head to make him work there.
If its the former maybe he should be grateful someone hired him.
If you don't like a company just leave. No one makes you stay.
He must be a delight to work with.
