Re: Considering jumping ship
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 ...

Re: Jazz for Life
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. ...

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: What luggage do you use?
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 ...

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
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...

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...

Re: Sim eval

Jazz is one of the only airlines that does them and it works well for screening out candidates that may s...

Re: Sky regional 2.0
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...

Re: Should I upgrade? (Serious answers only please)
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 ...
