A king Air doesn’t have to be your end goal, but it will be one of the best parts of your career. Your next job likely isn’t your end goal either. Is 500 hrs 6-8 months of flying? If you have a job offer in the right seat of a 705 machine without props then that could be different. - But what are th...

This isn’t their first foray into Jets. They used to operate a Citation 500 into gravel strips in Northern MB with a drag chute.

I don't post on here anymore but I think some context is I order. This is about balance. WJ pilots have no min daily guarantee. What happens as a result is a 30 hour sit on on east coast (no credit) followed by by 0545 departure in newfoundland and a day that consists of YYT-YHZ-YYZ-YYC-YXE. 8-9 hou...

Doc, I understand that you realize there is no definite answer for any situation as do I but let me throw a couple of scenarios out there to ponder: You reject a take off just after rotation on a long runway(after v1): You MAY have enough runway left and be ok, but you likely pitched the nose to aro...

You are correct, WestJet does have a very rigid stabilized approach policy please correct me if I am wrong or miss something All approaches will be stabilized by 1000' agl at which time the decision will be made to discontinue the approach. criteria for a stabilized approach: fully configured airspe...

Air Canada's 320 fleet was purchased starting in 1990, Their Boeing fleet is older than that. Mid to late 80's. WestJet's oldest NG's were built in 2001 and have over 30,000 hours on them already. How old is your BE200? Series 300 Twin Otters haven't been produced since 1988. The first time I flew a...

Seems to be a factor in more than just our sector.

It seems the shoe is on the other foot. What was your take on aviation in Canada and fairness when Thomas Cook asked for bids to operate 757's in Canada and then promptly called in their loans to Skyservice when they found a lower bidder forcing hundreds of pilots out of work. I know, I know JALPA o...

AFM???

Perhaps when CanJet is done with those German skippers they will be available for a contract with Jazz. Oh, but that would never happen in a union shop like Jazz. BTW who represents the CanJet pilots???

WJ700, I don't know why you would call me an idiot, numbnuts. That is a fair statement. I did not elude to the fact that WestJet is the best possible job. I enjoy working here but I think that is far from the truth. I knew what I was getting into when I started and still enjoy going to work. If that...

Frog legs, I truly hope you are one of these big balled types who step up and negotiate next round. It sounds like you are just the guy to get the job done. It is doubtful though as all you are saying is behind a mask of anonymity. You definitely have lots to say. Since you do have these big balls I...

50% + 1 of a quorum of 75% of the pilot group to be precise.

Now back to my jog

Again, why is this shite on here? Go for a jog or paint your bathroom, better yet post this on the WJPA website.

I can't believe this post has even gone this far. Not the time and definitely not the place guys, especially if you (myself included) don't have the whole picture.
Lets leave this alone.

A Quick question for you AC types. It is commonplace at my company while commuting or deadheading that a CSA will ask you for "proper" photo id as they feel a RAIC is not government issued. I have always disliked this for a number of reasons but I have always been polite and I just use my drivers li...

So as stated above, 11 percent growth.

Disco Stu, Well said. I can't express my absolute disappointment in the moderators enough for leaving this shit on here. This thread has nothing to do with drinking. It is an embarrassment to the moderators, to the website, to Periemter, to all employees current and past, to all pilots in Canada and...
