Re: Cargojet

Many thanks for the info!

I notice that the YWG flights leave between Midnight and 3:00am. So if I’m understanding correctly, commuting is certainly possible.

Ok...... next question; are there any affordable crash pads, day rooms, hotels or air B and B’s near the airport??

Cheers!

Re: Cargojet

Just wondering what time are you generally getting back to YHM? Would it be possible to jump seat to YWG the same night, or will you have to wait until the following night?

Re: Cargojet

Hey Guys,

Are there any Cargojet commuters who can comment on the commuting from YWG?

I understand that Cargojet will provide AC passes, but only for existing employees as new hires are NOT NECESSARILY going to get them.

Your Input is appreciated,

Re: First few years pay

Is there much opportunity for Over Time? Do you bid for it? Or do they just call you from time to time and ask if your interested? Getting by on what is effectively 54k for the first 12 months is going to be a serious challenge to say the least.... By the way, I appreciate that it may vary from type...

Re: 436 Vacancies Until Summer 2019

Anyone know what the first year pay is at AC? I've looked around, but got some seriously conflicting answers.. I've just heard that they called my referances last Wednesday, but nothing heard yet. Then again it might be a moot point anyway; if the first year pay is as low as one of the estimate Ive ...

Re: Have I just got an Air Canada PFO???

Just got a nod from one of my references, that they just got a call from AC yesterday; which I'm going to take as a positive sighn. I was interviewed back in April, and buddies at AC have both said that they understand that ground schools are going to start again in September. I guess we shall see.....

Have I just got an Air Canada PFO???

Hey Guys, I did the interview process back in April, and got an email back a few weeks ago that has had me scratching my head to be honest.

Re: Encore Flightpath interview/info

I went throught the process a couple of months ago; 6500 hrs TT, 1100 MTPIC, 400 hrs jet. Interview was pretty stright forward, 1 pilot and one lady from HR. Pretty much all behavioral questons; "Tell us about yourself"...."Give an example of when..." so nothing really tricky. This was followed by a...

Re: Flying in China.....

Yep, I've looked in to it too. There are some good payscales and rotations there, but often they want 'type rated' guys just like everyone else these days. It would appear that everyone want's experienced pilots flying their airplanes, but no one wants to pay for the initial training. Unfortunately ...
