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. The Application Process Make sure you are eligible: Canadian citizens or permanent residents with little or no previous flight ...

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!

Jazz has status pay. So if the 65 year old E175 and CRJ Captains in YYZ and YUL want to do a full initial course to go back on the Dash8-400 to keep flying(as crazy as that sounds to me) I guess at least they won’t be losing any pay. But at AC, the vast, vast majority of age 65 pilots are widebody ...

Greetings, I've been looking through the YYZ CRJ bidpacs and I've noticed that since November '23, there hasn't been any planned Reserve B for Captains. This trend has continued every month including the bidpac for March '24. I dug up the old bidpacs for the corresponding months in late '22 & early...

HI Gang, A question for you relating to building time to get a job Which would you say is better to focus energy (money) on? 1. Instructing 2. Flying your own airplane (single engine) Single Pilot, PIC, IFR, Cross Country, International (USA/Caribbean), Night, etc.. I'm working on career 2.0 now. I...

Hey all, A new hire in the upcoming ground school class, just wondering what luggages do you guys use/recommend? New to the 705 world, and looking to see if I should buy my own luggage separate from what Jazz offers and if I do buy my own am I able to expense it towards the company? Any advice and ...

I’ll be in a ground school coming up and just wondering if anyone had any insight on what will be available. Seeing as the last 2 classes had large CRJs/Qs out of YYC and YVR is it safe to assume majority of availability will be out east or is it completely random? With the processing of the equipm...

YOW Dash 8 operations has seen some major turnover due to folks leaving for the jet. Of the current FO's, 5 of the 22 on property have more than a year with Porter. 17 are fairly new! Soft cap of 25-30 FO's in YOW based on trying to have equal numbers for scheduling purposes. Porter normally will h...

That's how it has been since May 2022, and nothing on the horizon indicating that will change.

Hi, looking for some advice. I am a 750 hour ATR FO working in northern Canada. My schedule is pretty good, I have the opportunity to work 12 days a month, can do 2 on, 2 off or a week and a week, whatever I basically want as long as it follows CARs regs. I'm building about 60-80 hours a month. I a...

[YouTube][/YouTube] Jazz management : Read above post. Found a new way to save you guys a dime. We get you have a hate on for Jazz, but SIM evils are not being looked as a cost savings measure. Jazz is one of the only airlines that does them and it works well for screening out candidates that may s...

Not BS. My friend had an ATPL. My reply was to a member who said they didn’t understand HR at times and I gave an example of not understanding HR at times. Yeah but your situation and your example do not connect at all. In one post you say that you're an ATPL candidate and in your example your frie...

I appreciate all the input and constructive criticism from everyone on here! There were many points that were raised that haven't even occurred to me. I still think that this is what I want to do, but the timing of when to upgrade is something that I'll have to sit down and think about. As many hav...
