Re: Wear your goddamn lanyard!
We are running at 50% OTP and literally have disabled people dragging themselves off airplanes! A national embarrassment!! Yet the executives are more concerned about what lanyards the pilots wear! It should be apparent to all that they have lost control and are in panic mode. Reaching a deal with t...

Re: Mini base LEC recall?
It's worth noting that he's still off on full flight release. He was officially out on Aug 10, and other than a recurrent sim, he's yet to return to the line. In the mean time the interim reps have struggled to secure any sort of flight release to conduct their duties. Displacements have to go throu...

Is this a website for airlines or for PILOTS? FOR TOO LONG companies have been hiding behind cute little job ads that DO NOT LIST THEIR PAY!

Re: WestJet pilots to fly Swoop aircraft
So no 737 flown scheds were taken over by the Q400 ? 737 scheds were most certainly usurped by Encore. Passengers expect more frequency which the Q400 is great at providing. Once the '37's were relieved of the "milk runs" they were free to be placed on other more profitable routes. You will never m...

Why bother spending all that money and time becoming a pilot? Just work as a YYC LINK driver instead.
