Re: POE Media
end of July should be interesting. Definitely. I'm hoping for a little bump but it's the FOs on both types that really need a bump. +1 compensation for FO's on both fleet's is embarrassing. Time for a union. Plain and simple. The company does whatever they want; whenever they want. They do not have...

Re: Denying Overtime
Exactly, if I don't get what I want from the new contract I will quit as will many other recently hired AC pilots. I have zero loyalty to management and will go where the pay and WLB is best. If that means going to the US, so be it. Let’s be honest here, if you could you would already be there and ...

Re: Air Canada Pilots Pull Out
Canadian airline pilots have been so poor for so long, they don't know how to make big strides in wawcon, without stepping on each other's toes. If you aren't bonded, then you are slotted into a seniority pecking order and if you miss your chance you will be sitting right seat to the next generation...

Re: Toronto base wins the PRIZE!
Agreed with the need to eat but keep in mind ya'll, 58k is not hard at all to make up outside of flying. I personally do other stuff on the side which I absolutely do not like (not working the corner-yet...), to make ends meet and will not take any overtime from the company. It's a principle. This ...

Re: ‘‘Twas the night before ALPA
How have WJ pilots done under ALPA? Jazz? Bearskin.. lol? Haha... unions are a reflection of their membership. If you took cargo concessions under ACPA during a cargo boom.. why would it be any different with another union? I mean.. I hope for the best, but as someone with no skin in the game eithe...

Re: Mid Size Captain/FO salary
This is accurate Respectfully, I think your captain numbers are a little low. A handful of operators are now offering 120-150 for light jets. Things are changing pretty rapidly and I would be looking for 140-160 start for a midsize and 150-180 start for a super-mid at a minimum. I understand 150-300...

Re: Upgrade Times
And? They’re hiring qualified people as is their intent. The amount of main character syndrome found in modern pilots is truly insane.

Re: Morningstar 757 schedule/flying
Probably not the place to retire... Agreed! Understandable for a young fella to think that though. I thought that at least 2-3 times before I got to the place I’m going to retire at. That's fair. I did my time at Morningstar and I think for your typical Canadian airline pilot, it's probably not the...

Re: Upgrade Times
I think you’re missing the biggest variable I mentioned, there is talk the flow might be completely removed from the contract in exchange for more money, if the flow is gone, attrition will slow even more. How many OTS do you think AC would take from Jazz if they didn’t “have” to? Even without the ...

Re: New pay scales

Re: Announced routes
You can imagine that'll likely be the plan if you look at how aggressively Porter is expanding with their E2 fleet. There is only so much talent you can acquire operating out of the east. Most "talent" (not that I would call it that) is out East, since most Embraer pilots fly here. As soon as a Por...

Re: Porter Airlines: First Officer - Dash 8
I dont see poter seriously revisiting your paycsales again for a long time. What part of “annually” or “once a year” isn’t clicking for you? WJ 737 and AC 220 scales are both included in the E2 scale benchmark, which again, is benchmarked ANNUALLY, so if either of those scales go up, so does the E2...
