Re: 67% yes

As a year 2 WB FO I'm actually pleased with the result. Year 3-4 are a 100% pay increase vs the old CA, and brings much better per diems, better reserve rules, better insurances, a 20k back pay for year 1, etc. All that while working 10 days a month. You cannot expect to gain absolutely everything ...

Re: Does ALPA expel pilot groups that lower the bar?

I’m not sure how “over 100k” came to mean only / exactly 100k. “Over 100k” could be 195k and I get a sense he was vague for a reason. I flowed to WJ a couple years ago, 2nd years pay is $90 Canadian I believe So I guess a $100k with OT Someone who flowed from Encore a couple years ago wouldn't be y...

Re: EXPECTED NUMBER OF RETIREES AT AC.

For narrow body, 220 captain on reserve in 3 years and a block in 8 years. That's for the YYZ...

Re: Pros and Cons btw FO and RP?

RPs don’t do single day turns, pairings are more productive and you get more perdiems When I was thinking what to bid during my PIT course I was surprised to find in the pairing package day turns on the 777, like a YVR turn with the first leg as a DH from YYZ, seat in YVR and operate back to YYZ, wi...

Re: Air Canada vs WestJet

You probably never work for AC correct? I just check each fleet's schedule, and even with some junior FO, it's 12-14 days working on the narrow body . Wide body RP are working less than 14 days and laying over in Rome, Vienna, Lisbon...etc People are making shit up, in my last company one captain t...

Re: Has AC stopped hiring jazz until the fall?

Flight OPS VP said so during an AC PIT class. They are protecting the summer schedule. His words: "anyone with an ATPL and 2 years will be hired by September/October"

Re: Reserve on WB

On reserve (not with a sched block) working on a day off will give you your OT rate but you will also get that day off back (by removing a day of reserve in your monthly schedule) giving your more opportunity for even more OT. Reserve is best fit so even with a good seniority number, it is now harde...
