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!

Re: Pilot Employment Beyond Age 65

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 ...

Re: No Reserve B for Captains?

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...

Re: New hire bids

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...

Re: Fastest way to YOW

Soft cap of 25-30 FO's in YOW based on trying to have equal numbers for scheduling purposes. Porter normally will h...

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...

Re: Pilot employment in their 50s?

Hello Just a quick question whether Jazz has hired pilots in their 50s? A lot of companies seem to be afraid to hire someone older than your “normal” hire. Thanks in advance and fly safe Theoretically they can't discriminate based on age. And given Jazz's current need for pilots, I would say anyone...

Re: Commuting at Jazz

So being Rezerve. Don't you still get the 80 MMG? So isn't Jazz incentive to fly you as often as possible to at least 80hrs? Otherwise you get paid without working, but staying on standby as reserve? Yes you get paid the blocking average But since your wage is such a little percentage of the whole ...

Re: Is Jazz upgrading new hires with little to no type experience?

I agree that what you propose would generally be safer. I'm just not sure if it's really required. If we step down from the airlines (where the inexperienced captains are a fairly new concept), and we look at 703/704 ops, where flight instructors go DEC on King Airs and Metros, then we see that it ...

Re: Is Jazz upgrading new hires with little to no type experience?

How do you suggest it stop? Do you think the airline will just volunteer to stop hiring these guys? AC has already shown it will allow its regional network to rote because they don't want to pay. Do you think they will up the pay for pilots unless forced. Only Transport can make that happen, but ap...
