Current Carson Pay for 350 captain?

What’s the latest on Carson? Can you get more than the 100k required to live in Vancouver to start? Seems like they are requiring a fair amount of experience. Anyone know when the next Medevac contract is coming up?

Re: Finally wages are coming up

Edit: Re 208 drivers in 2011. That year was a bonfire of money in exploration. Selecting that year as a comparator when most pilots were on mileage is shamefully misleading. Nope, not misleading at all. Made more the next year and wasn’t involved in exploration. I did fly my ass off those years tho...

Re: Air Canada vs American Airlines A320

Looked at an article the other day when I was interested in this subject and saw the Delta CEO made 19mil a year about 300x the average wage at his company. Southwest CEO made a paltry 7 mil which was about 90x the 80,000 average salary. I don’t know what the average wage is at WJ but I know Saretsk...

Re: Air Canada vs American Airlines A320

Oh god!?! Trump vs Trudeau guys... really? They both suck of course but this wage disparity existed before them and will after. I don’t think the majors have felt the shortage of pilots like the regionals have. So I am not sure the 1500 atpl is a good explanation. It explains bonuses and contracts a...

Re: Why aren’t unions pushing for FAA ATP req?

Chief pilots do what owners tell them to keep their jobs. Operators don’t pay more because they can still find someone to fill the job. The result being less upward pressure on wages. You might wish companies would do something on their own but they won’t until they have to. I would think unions cou...

Seems like an obvious way to create a barrier to entry that could put more demand for experienced pilots?

Re: Air Canada vs American Airlines A320

The health insurance accounts for nothing. AA pilots probably have a pretty nice package and if you are in a certain tier of society in the USA the health services are probably better user experience than in Canada.

Now if you lose your medical and your income there...

Re: Bush pilots love Canada Goose jackets?

I would like a Canada goose jacket but they are so damn expensive. I am not saying you don't get what you pay for. The USA or Canada made woolrich arctic parka costs about as much but you can get one that was manufactured in China for cheaper. Anyone find something cheaper than Canada goose that wor...
