9.8million square km to defend and the biggest pile of natural wealth on the planet. only 45 fighter pilots current an qualified. of those 45 only 26 are exp enough to be tac or section lead. Only 17 f18 s are serviceable inpart because the airforce is also critically short of techs due to retireme...

Anyone know when the next ground schools are planned? As someone joining the hiring pool how long would expect to wait before getting the call? Thank you! Feb & Mar are the next 2 GS scheduled. With all the contract violations it blows my mind people still apply here. There has to be better options...

PML type agreements ultimately put downward pressure on Jazz wages. PML 1.0 ended up a mess with all the deferred seniority. Even ACPA learned the lesson, deferred seniority no more. You had Jazz guys not deferring bitter that they were 100+ numbers behind an OTS guy joining on the same day, then l...

What's interesting is how many ex-RCAF pilots I have run into on the civilian side. Seems like the job just doesn't have the ability to retain pilots. Lots of young, eager and broke teenagers looking to join up but soon as they grow up and do their time, off they go to the airlines or leave flying ...

Lets not focus on a proper national military pilot pipe line and instead just pick up foreign military pilots. I wish I could say I was surprised but its right in line with Canadian mentality. Would it be too much to ask that you do a bit of research before posting nonsense? Nevermind, I just answe...

The US can do the off the street reserve thing - because they have the capacity to take that civvie pilot and train them. No-one steps directly from a 777 into an F22 and just does the job - they do the same training. If you are going to take away only one thing, then this is it. The training pipel...

I know I am going to regret this but...

The problem with the RCAF is the insanely onerous requirements and training programs that simply aren’t required and definitely no longer necessary in the modern world. Especially given that lack of personnel threatens their very existence. A Navajo flying into a northern reserve probably gets shot...

This mentality that RCAF pilots are somehow “better than the rest” really needs to stop. The idea that civilian pilots can’t be trained to the same standard—or would be inherently subpar—is nonsense. The fact is, the very initial flight training where military pilots learn how to fly is delivered b...

I’ve been saying for years, if the RCAF wanted to staff pilots better, they’d open the Reserves to airline pilots for non-fighter roles. AFAIK, in order to be a Reserve pilot, you have to have been an active duty pilot. For Herks, C-17s, CC-330s…. None of that is necessary. Those are airliners, bas...

Just completed the first hirevue. It’s just a screening process with 20 pre written questions about your experience. How many hours flown, atpl exams written, legal authorization to work and travel to U.S. etc. The HR department apparently doesn’t review applications as all those details would be f...

Hello, I'm thinking of joining CAE jazz with little information about ground school. I'm currently studying business at a post secondary institution since jazz requires you to have a diploma. I just would like to know is it worth joining jazz since I'm only joining since it gives me flight hours mo...

He expects them to do it all. Like he said, they are partly at fault and could have done more. It's not enough that they did their job. They should have been psychic too. I'm sure access to heli pilot's eyeballs, so you can see which plane they are looking at would help! The heli had to either main...

Has it occurred to anyone that sometimes, accidents happen despite everyone involved being qualified, competent, proficient, recent and having acted professionally within the boundaries of their Rules and SOPs? PAT 25 was flying using NVGs. If you have never flown with those, try this out when you h...

Yes it's the first class of 2025, not mostly Cygnet, and successful Cygnet applicants get a conditional offer of employment at Jazz when they are selected for the program.

Two days after applying for me. They’re pretty quick! How did you manage that? They actually replied to you in just two days. My experience far exceeds the requirements for a First Officer, but since I applied in May and the status changed to 'under review' in June, there have been no further updat...

I think you missed the joke. Is joke the right word?

Irony?

Apply to WJ and AC, not Jazz If you get WJ, go there then apply for AC. If you get neither, I would wait and upgrade to go straight to AC. AC is even hiring Wasaya FOs so I would stick it out to either WJ or AC. Pick up OT and get hours fast, you already have a 705 type rating that AC is looking fo...

I would argue that the loss of Paul and John is a sign that the company does not place the Dash pilots on a pedestal, but rather that their intention is to become a large, legitimate airline. John in particular was a symbol of the friendliness between management and pilots that is no longer being e...

Question for the folks who left Jazz for the E2 at Porter… was it worth it? Would you make the same choice again? Loaded question. 1) Every situation is unique and the motivation for making that move (or not make it) varies greatly from individual to individual 2) Biased, in the sense that we make ...

I’ve been at Jazz almost 20 years and have been hearing doom and gloom the whole time. We lost flying. We merged in other companies. It’s a rinse and repeat cycle. I’ve never been furloughed. They’ve never missed a paycheque. I have a decent schedule and make decent money. I don’t plan on leaving. ...

The illiteracy of some pilots at Porter is truly astounding.

The arrogance and naivety of some others is also quite astounding. Ad hominem is a weak stance friend.

Euh...Pot? Kettle?

LOL, did you do that on purpose?? Good one!
