I've seen many FOs, even at small airlines, remain as FO's if they don't need the money or the "glory", and prefer getting the schedule and time off they want even though the Company wants to upgrade them.

Will they still be short controllers and closing towers at night? Most likely yes as the budget will be reduced. YWG and YLW aren't exactly in the back 40 like some of the FSS's are. Why are they short staffed? Late October isn't exactly prime vacation time like the summer and Christmas.

Any truth to the YYZ Q400 base closing and YTZ base opening? Claude trying to get a full paid move out of it? Lol, first of all Claude “flys” the RJ, so a Q400 base closure won’t affect him! Second, unless the union comes to an agreement, we have four bases, YYZ, YYC, YUL, YVR, they are in the coll...

The giant difference being that the RNAV (GPS) Y 20L has a WAAS LPV glide path. If I recall correctly YHZ was done on a LOC using vertical speed to create a pseudo glide path (not even Baro VNAV). Are the older 319 FMS capable of LPV approach? Report makes it seem that DA was above 200’ AGL which i...

I wouldn't hold your breath for a shrinking civil service. That would result in them having to admit they imported a lot people with no jobs for them other than the ones they invented. Hopefully it will be easier than you think because they can blame it on the drama teacher with the fancy socks. Ho...

Wow!!!!!! Left empty and had a lighter load coming back, didn't bother to fill the other tip tank and had two opportunities to top up fuel. Had a GPS and weather wasn't an issue for navigation. Sounds like a hot date back in town. At least he didn't kill his pax because of it.

How many pilots per class when we move to two per month? I'm not in the hiring department, but I believe they will be "full" classes. We had a few half classes the last couple months, but we are back to full classes (~20-30?) moving forward. Hiring 40–60 pilots a month again — that’s aggressive, es...

2nd hand info is that both aircraft were in the circuit. Aircraft on final elected to do missed approach/balked landing due to an aircraft still on the runway during takeoff roll. Shortly after takeoff, this aircraft climbed and struck the aircraft on the missed approach/balked landing. I apologize ...

I see a similar trend here except for the YRT crash

MB already has them. Ontario & the prairies/BC are paying for them thanks to transfer payments

Who cares about parachutes? Negotiate your starting salary before joining the union and sit right seat if necessary getting paid the same. You need to attract and retain talent. That’s not how a union contract works, the CBA dictates what they will pay for new hires, if they paid a new hire 100k mo...

Why would they shut down their only engine? What situation were they worried about? They were on the climb out, so they could (presumably) easily glide back to the reciprocal runway. Perhaps they were worried about a catastrophic engine failure or fire. "Abnormally high torque" doesn't sound good. ...

Not at all. Your experience afterwards is what matters. I'd hire you during the early part of your career because you lived in the North vs another grad with a 416, 905, 519 area code.

Good ruling!!!! I'm usually pro-management and was pro-vaccination but I don't see the need for a number cruncher and 11 year employee that's already working remotely to be terminated because they didn't want to be vaccinated. WestJet's decision to layoff employees during and use contracted CSA's at...

:!: 5. The frank purpose of training bonds is coercion against employment mobility. Pilots subject to training bonds escape forfeiture only where they remain employed for a minimum period of time, often years. In effect, they create a form of indentured service. Indentured service & worse working c...

Westjet and Encore are 2 different companies with separate AOC's and hiring processes. They only have the same owners. Let me know when someone in the WJ accepts an offer from encore....AC used to own Jazz, and I sure wasn't accepting a job at Jazz when I was in the AC pool. Pay, etc at Encore is an...

Hopefully not true,

The lawyers are gonna have a field day with this, as they should. I hope the judge or whoever throws the book at Delta, assuming this information is the complete picture. That’s how the system is disciplined, through financial pain, and then people who don’t even deserve a PPL are forcibly removed ...

For a bit of context Investigation Report A07O0124 https://www.tsb.gc.ca/eng/rapports-reports/aviation/2007/a07o0124/a07o0124.html What is the context here? That a hard landing in a CRJ can result in a gear collapse. A potential parallel being a crosswind landing and a lower time FO at the controls...

On a different note, kudos to the FAs getting the doors open and everyone out. Must be disorienting opening while upside down. No slides deployed? Wouldn't they deploy from the floor? which in this case is 'up'? No slides on the RJ Agreed, CRJ 700/900 intentionally sit "nose low" on the ground to r...

As a former commuter, the whole thing is a mess. First item, in the US, the FAA has capped Airport Improvement fees at $4.50. In Canada, because of the "not-for-profit" Airport Authorities who still have to pay rent to the Federal Government, there's no desire for Governments to cap the amount of A...

That's been part of the NPA for years. I'm hoping TC can make progress this year. The NPA had some ridiculous proposals for the north, where there is no weather reporting. If there is different approach bans for different lighting (as there should), it would be reflected on the plate. For example: ...
