Dude get some help.

So, to get back on thread track. I beieve that others like myself, who have maybe 10-15 years left till 65, have made a comfortable nest egg and would like a challenge to mentor/train a new cadre of engaged, keen employees willing to accept the risk in starting up a model that is provocative, and w...

No its always been this way. This is nothing new.

The vote opened this morning and runs until next Friday.

And speaking of seniority, how will ALPA's 60 year old DOH policy affect current and former Encore pilots flowing to WJ? I guess we can agree that at the very least, current Encore pilots will flow to the BOTL at WJ? That is a separate issue having nothing to do with WJ's ULCC. By the way.... which...

Yes, if you alter your monthly schedule, your salary will be adjusted up or down by the number of hours changed. Apart from that you're on a salary that includes up to 16 days of work per month, some of which will be overnights. Yes thats called an hourly wage. What would I know Ive only worked her...

Incorrect. Westjet pilots get paid hourly wage as well.

Exciting times at AC. Happy to see this.

Agreed.

This is a no brainer. Go to Jazz, and go to AC.

Latest equipment bid result is out and lots of year 1 guys are going to be EMB captain which will get them over that $140k you mention and then some.

Wow thats incredible to hear. Good things happening at AC for sure!

Any word on this? Cant seem to see it online.

I'd argue the other way. Go up to to a cancer ward and sit with someone there and look for sympathy for your "disease". Calling alcoholism a disease is ignorant and insulting. Watch this it's very applicable: http://watchcartoonsonline.eu/watch/south-park-s9-e14-bloody-mary/ The only one ignorant a...

This thread is so pathetic. Both airlines are doing well, making money and employing thousands of pilots. Isn't that enough?

Hello, Just a small experiment! I have noticed that any negative posts about WJ get removed, often quite quickly. Two WJ threads (not flattering) were taken down in the last week, even though they were featured in news articles. However, bashing AC seems to cause no upset to the moderators unless t...

Wow threads like these bring out the morons around here.

Its already in the news.

Lateralus, FYI - one of the main posters in this thread did run a very successful airline. Let's not make assumptions about people by what they post on here. Notwithstanding that - I'll take a Big Mac, fries and a Coke please. I'm well aware of who is Realitychex is and his role in Westjet. He is t...

This thread is beyond stupid. Pilots thinking they know how to run companies always makes me chuckle. All the CEOs are in the flight decks and Avcanada apparently. Who knew?

I agree there are factors out of our control but do agree slightly with the OP. I've recently noticed a lack of finesse. There's a ton of automation up front now that maybe makes it impossible to make it more comfortable for the pax in the back but the last few commercial flights I've taken were a ...

Northwestern Saskatchewan has a self appointed 126.7 sentry. (Yes, 26.7, not even guard). Crusty old guy with a small float op, who apparently forgot how to smile sometime back in the Cretaceous. If anyone says a sentence to another airplane that doesn't include a location or heading you'll be rewa...

Canada has the WORST fatigue mitigation in the world with no respect for Circadian rhythm. I was hoping Westjet would voluntarily raise the standard cuz Air Canada won't until it is written in blood. Unfortunately, Canada is nowhere near the worst in the world with fatiguing schedules. Try not to g...

I dont find it such a big deal in Canada. The Americans however are awful. I have 30 years of my career left and I dream of the day that I fly to the U.S. and not hear a bunch of morons calling company on 121.5 and then the guard police calling them out. I have my doubts as it happens every single t...

And how does that help the OP for a base trade? Seeing as ya know they don't represent the pilot group.
