Anyone know whats going on at yyt. Bunch of flights diverted. Apparently a flight went off the runway?

What are working conditions like? Reserve? Pairing length? Days per month, ot potential.

Some people aren't actually scared of covid themselves but they fear for their small children and for the immunocomprimised. They may not fear death but fear long covid, lung damage. Some people care about others.

Don't understand why people are afraid of a vaccine. Is it actual fear or just ego.

Is this actually a problem in normal times when there are a lot of flights? Commuters are only going to a few specific places. Vacationers are generally going somewhere different. Not everyone can choose to live in their base. Frankly WJ paystubs don't allow for it.

This is Canada. We are supposed to be leaders in human rights. Mandatory retirement is ageism pure and simple. The disrespect shown here based on age is unprofessional as well. If someone can hold a medical let them fly. If more frequent medicals are required (based on evidenced based medicine) that...

Anyone with half a brain knows that the percentage of women(or even men) that would seriously apply for such a thing would be virtually zero, even if there could somehow be an all female sewer cleaning company. It’s the “anyone with half a brain knows” arguments that are the most suspect. “It’s tru...

Moderators this whole discussion is extremely offensive to women and I hope you remove it. There are most definitely systematic things in place keeping women out of the industry including the sexism displayed in this discussion. Perhaps if you will never have to face pumping your breasts in a planes...

Who is getting 3500 a month in CEWS? Mine is basically equivalent to EI.

It's questionable if the amount the government is paying the company to keep people on payroll is being completely passed on to employees. There are reports of people in other companies such as porter getting a higher cews payment than westjet employees. Also if people are on payroll why are they lo...

It's not really anyone's business why someone would take a furlough over encore but some reasons include : not being able to uproot family for what is hopefully a short term situation, not being able to afford the hotels required for commuting, weighing the costs of being put in year one FO salary v...

How often do people fail ground school?

if you can't swing it on $160G's and a pension, you'd better have a serious look at how you live. Amen to this. Great post by the way Dukepoint, most intelligent writing I've seen on here in awhile. Except his generalization of WJ pilots was ridiculous. But his "few friends" speak for all 1300 of u...

Thanks for all the info DaveP! Does anyone know if encore offers the same flight benefits as mainline for the employee and spouse?

I know that the money isn't great right now but luckily for me that won't be an issue. I know there is more to life than flying big planes but there comes a point when many will get tired of flying on dirt runways and teaching 250 hour guys how to fly. I'm optimistic about the future of encore. Is t...

I hear people get pretty creative with the presentation. Anyone have examples?

So...has anyone been called?

Pilot 1500...did you get an answer?

I know ADHD treatment is a big no no in the USA but I can't find any legit Canadian info. A friend of mine wants to start treatment for ADHD but is worried about losing her medical. She has been flying for years but has been untreated and this is affecting her life. If the stimulants are out, what a...

Any updates on mainline hiring?

Anyone have any guesses when/if ac will resume hiring?
