Re: 737 - anyone ever use the N1 and Speed buttons on the MCP panel?

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...

Re: Why Won't You Come to WestJet?

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.

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...

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...
