:| And you just proved my point. A lot of us here at WJ have good experience regardless of the seat we are in. Been doing this for a while now too. Guess myself and the other posters complaining on this form are just out to lunch. What point? No one is disputing that WestJet has plenty of experience...

Ok. Then make the requests to our training department for the proper Boeing SOP’s. But until then, learn our stuff like the rest of us did. It’s not a dick measuring contest. Just do your job the proper way until changes are made. For all experience you guys bring to the table, the majority I have ...

Possible. But I do not know. I did not work for Sunwing nor do I have any experience with their operation. There could be some improvements to the WJ SOP’s from the now defunct Sunwing airline. Sounds like they did takeoff in VNAV which makes sense and the plane is capable. But since it is not appr...

I’m not at all the smartest person, please spell out what you’re doing now? Also notice how I provide evidence whenever I can, like my screenshot about AI? People here have a habit of making things up and hoping they don’t get called out Fair point—what I’m doing now is exactly what you pride yours...

Because I'm trying to knock him down a peg, multiple times in the past I've acknowledged when I was wrong when people confronted me with evidence. This guy has basically said women and minorities losing their rights is change we should accept. He'll talk about topics he knows nothing about (EX AI) ...

LMFAO, this shows how little you understand. are all of those retirees exactly 66? Is every Canadian eligible for FULL cpp (lets ignore the millions of immigrants) Only 15% of their portfolio is in bonds. Please go back to talking about AI that you also do not understand :smt040 Is it possible for ...

Cowards move saying not to reply eh? 😂 Son, I respect your determination, but doubling down when you're clearly iwrong isn’t the kind of strength you want to be known for. The need to always be right, especially when it’s obvious you're just looking for an argument, speaks louder about you than the...

Honestly, on the NG and MAX, hitting the N1 or SPEED buttons manually is pretty rare in normal ops—most guys flying the line these days never actually press them. The autothrottle modes usually come along automatically with whatever vertical mode you’re using (VNAV, LVL CHG, V/S), and the system doe...

So maybe then go fly general aviation- like when you “enjoyed flying so much you’d pay to do it?” If you don’t have the money to buy a Cessna 150 outright then become a fractional owner? I tell you what, I don't work for WestJet, I'm 20 years away from retirement. Go tell the pilots who are your ta...

All of them? Maybe flying is their hobby. Remember when you enjoyed flying so much you would pay to do it? Not everyone has lost that.

The majority of pilots at westjet want the AR program terminated. Reason is that AR pilots are further slowing down upgrades that are already some of the longest in the industry, as well as costing the company more in increasing fuel use and flight time. On top of this many AR pilots are already we...

There's an enigma of unions in airlines. In almost all other industries they compress wages by offering people with almost no experience a lot of money to start, and they pay more and have better lifestyle than their non-union counterparts :idea: . Sorry what???! Can you give a example of these? Ou...

I recently learned that in the oil and gas sector an employee can bring their years of service with them when they change companies. A buddies spouse retired recently and recieves fully paid medical and dental benefits FOR LIFE. She worked for the last company for 5 years. No wonder we are looked d...

Transport Canada did look into it themselves. They hired Oxera to perform a financial analysis on both companies and found Sunwing at significantly more risk. They approved the deal partly out of concern that Sunwing would disappear and the competitive landscape in Canada would suffer. This way the...

[ I think you're all focusing on the wrong factor regarding US healthcare. I don't think anyone diagrees the quality of healthcare, and perhaps the waiting lists are better organized. It's the insurance side of things where things can go really wrong. To take your hip replacement surgery. If you're...

Boomer….. guess I am not liked by the AvCanada fraternity or some of’em :wink: I hate government policy that has built the canadian economy explicitly on continuously rising home prices, not on building things, and what that is doing to the next generation. All to buy retiree votes and stay in powe...

That's assuming WS management doesn't F up the YUL base. Montreal'ers don't particularly like "West" Jet and the airline has made it pretty clear they aren't interested in growing the brand in eastern Canada beyond a token presence, once those pink planes get painted teal, the YUL base's days are l...

Any internal acknowledgment of this incident at AC? Hopefully she has been suspended/fired by now. Suspended? Fired? Are you mad? There is clearly more to the story. Having done flights to and from Morocco I’ve had more than one occasion of unruly passengers. I will bet 100% there’s more to it than...

For Montreal, it's a 100% win for westjet pilot in the event of a DOH and bid. They didn't have a YUL base before. So worse case scenario they can't have a base they didn't have, best case they remove some swg pilots who were there for years... The Montreal base might be a loss for some sunwing pil...

Why did you shut down the engine if you knew you couldn't maintain altitude above the terrain? Not throwing out flack, just genuinely curious. Because the qrh called for the engine to be shut down. Single engine theoretically should have held altitude, however in the combination of hot, heavy plane...

Accident could have been avoided if he just shut the engine down and did a stabilized single engine approach and landing. All to often I read about this. Exactly. The fact he was having low oil px and engine issues and didn't shut it down he was asking for trouble. Years, back I had exactly the sam...

Sunwing employees go buy lottery tickets. You have hit the jackpot. Twice!!!! Pilots get a raise with job security and now AMEs get a 30% raise without having to go on strike! Enjoy the merger….. I don't know about most. But I suspect with the extra $40k per diems for winter and summer deployments ...

Sounds like another boomer beholden to an outdated ideology as most boomers are. They can’t help themselves. It’s who they are. Leave them behind. Don’t even bother. Soldier ahead. Wear your lanyard. Get on board. The original poster identifies himself as a boomer. Don't be a: big·ot /ˈbiɡət/ noun ...

Lament Canada’s wages. They can definitely be better. But it’s part of the system that makes being a professional pilot this country likely one of the easiest in the world. Sorry, how is being a pilot easier in Canada? I've flown all around the world in some very cushy well paid jobs. I've recently...
