Maybe go around the rain, but you'll be fine.

That's what a LOU is for. Jazz, Wasaya, Inuit, Flair just off the top of my head, 4 ALPA properties have updated their pay outside of regular scheduled negotiations recently. I'm sure there's more if I thought about it longer. If AC, Flair and Porter embarrass WJ pay enough that it's causing WJ prob...

Every pilot should have an iPad, I didn't mean to imply that they shouldn't. Online training at the very minimum. It's pretty presumptuous to ask someone to use their personal devices for company training.
Checking MELs was just a terrible excuse to ask for an iPad.

How much time does one need to review MELs? If there's some super long convoluted operating procedure that needs to be reviewed, then there's gonna be a short delay. Knowing about the problem yesterday...before the plane even broke, isn't going to help. I can promise you I'm not looking at which pla...

Good dose of humble pie.

There's a whole set of type 4 HOT charts for flaps extended. The times are lower than flaps up. Operational simplicity can be great if the lower holdover time is still sufficient.
Modifying SOP is above my pay grade. I do what I'm told and follow the correct HOT charts.

My 12 years old could figure this one. Wait, YOU'VE procreated? I mean congrats, but wow, that's the most disturbing part of your barely coherent post. If Forrest Gump's kid can be smart, maybe there is hope for your offspring too... Cause this contributes to the conversation :roll: Insulting someo...

The fuel going into the plane in a day costs more than those pilots make in a month. 5hrs of flying is ~12 grand in fuel?

I dunno if it's entitlement, or just a youngin with career options many of us couldn't even dream of 10 years ago.

Wasn't all that long ago AC needed 705 command time and 5000 hrs to be competitive in the hiring process.

Encore's pay went from, by far the worst Q400 pay in north america to tied for the worst Q400 pay in north america. Porter's base pay was good 8 months ago, but has since fallen to the bottom. That's what Encore chose to copy? :roll: I'm sad to let you know that Porter has the highest Q400 pay that...

I don't think anyone is seriously saying northern medevac is better than Encore. Encore's pay went from, by far the worst Q400 pay in north america to tied for the worst Q400 pay in north america.

Yes, a perfectly safe airline.

Simply not killing or hurting people is a pretty low standard.

All good advice. As someone who has thousands of hours on a 1900, it is a great plane and will provide you some invaluable PIC time eventually. However, you have clearly said your goal is to be at an airline. Seniority is EVERYTHING. Take the jobs that will get you to WJ/AC/Porter the fastest and f...

Weekends don't matter very much until one has school age kids. Kids get weekends off, and if the pilot parent wants to spend time with their offspring, they'll want weekends off too.

Will you need to commute for AC, but living at your base for Porter?

Commuting sucks. Even more when junior.

Doesn't Wareen Buffet own them? Guess he didn't go bankrupt paying his pilots properly.

I'm not sure why pilot utilization is lower today. It's a general industry trend across all 704/705 lite. 1000hrs a year is the current limit, but that's still only 5.5hrs a day working 15 days/month. Not a whole ton of flying. Is it a lack of support and pilots are wasting duty time on tertiary du...

Should keep the Swoop table on as a reminder for future reference that someone whored their selves out for less than 100k/yr to fly a 737. Agreed, It's perfect for the next low cost carrier to reference so they know just how little pilots will actually work for and to remind the current ones how fa...

"smooth"'s post isn't wrong in the context of the turd that is Canadian aviation. AC is generally considered to be the shiniest of the turds.

On a scale of 1 to 10, it's a pool of 1s, 2s and 3s, but AC is a 4. Still bad, but among the best of the worst.
