Re: Upgrade times due to no Mandatory retirement age

Honestly, as frustrating as it is, this will barely affect the upgrade times.

Re: Cargojet ALPA TA

Also, a pay raise for senior pilots is a pay raise for all pilots- some just need to wait a bit longer to get it. A pay raise for a junior pilot is a one-time raise for a much smaller demographic. if it was 4% across the board, I can understand your justification. But this is different. 4% for the ...

So top scale CA is now 318.405 meanwhile top scale fo is 178.245 :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: a 55% ratio ?!

And people here think this is reasonable and fair ?!

Mind you, Delta ratio of Capt to FO pay is 68% ... which would bring up the FO pay to 216.51$

Re: Sunwing B737 Captain fired for ordering fried chicken

As a former Sunwing pilot, once I started reading the story, I took a guess for myself if I would know who the pilot was. After a minute of thinking, the one and only name that came to mind was Darren's. Upon reading further and seeing his name, I said to myself "Yup, that tracks." So for those def...

Re: Flight Attendant strike vote opens on July 28th

You sure about that? I have noticed the new hire experience drop a lot over the last 12 months. People who would have never had their resume reviewed 5 years ago are being hired and their lack of experience is noticeable in the flight deck. A lot of pilots with zero 705 time. There are a number tha...

Re: AR program Did I read that right?

Rarely will you hear me say that things are that simple, but I will in this case. This grievance gets more absurd the deeper you look into it. In this integration bid, there are a small handful of pilots who were FO's at SWG who will be captains at WJ. For example, Pilot A has been a SWG FO for 10 ...

Re: Medical privacy disclosure

Doctors prescribe shit all the time. That doesn't mean we actually take them. How do they prove what medications are in your body? The onus will be on you and I doubt it would be a doctor prescription that triggers it, it would be a pharmacy dispensing that prescription to you. Also, if per se it w...

Re: Medical privacy disclosure

Wouldn’t one of the unintended consequences be that some pilots will no longer trust their family doctors/pharmacists and just start self medicating? Or getting their prescription filled on a layover ?
