Re: Sunwing/Westjet
“ So, SW pilots should loose out because WJ pilots decided to go to a company that had a 12 year upgrade probability?” Short answer is YES. If you take job security and a new contract you don’t get to hold spots out of seniority. True colours shining through… Onyx buying SW is the best thing that h...

Re: Sunwing/Westjet
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...

Re: Swoop pay
Altiplano...you really need to check your “facts”! I’m not going to waste my time telling you how I inaccurate you are regarding SW. You obviously have your mind made up regardless of the truth. I will however get you to ask a Sunwing pilot about their overall experience and their views of the compa...

Re: North America 737/320 Pay Round-up
Many variables overall, however it's impossible to deny that Canadian pilots are some of the lowest paid of all G7 nations possibly even g20.

Vac Exp is a part of the SW pyramid, if they went with another airline for the lift it was a strategic decision.

The money has gone down and thus in correlation, quality has followed! Guys are pulling runners at Cathay! Like Cathay for F sakes. That was once the pinnacle of careers... Not anymore I guess and so who keeps the C scale pay and 97hr roster?

This English/French argument at Transat is rightfully based on a past practice, however it has very obviously/ factually changed. The reason why Transat currently has reference to French in its company culture is because it is a Quebec based company, and has deep historical ties to Quebec and French...

Word is that 220 Sunwing pilots are heading over the puddle for the summer. With those numbers they should be looking to hire. Better dust off the old log book.

Re: Calgary-bound Sunwing passengers angry after 8-hour wait
Until everyone appreciates that flying (air travel) isn't a right it's a privilege, and at the same time inherently dynamic and not an exact science and/or business. It's impossible to explain to, or have empathy for anyone who thinks otherwise. There will always be an off chance that the $hit will ...

Any other daily life choices you need help with? Crest vs. Colgate, Salsa vs Ketchup, left leg or right leg? From what I can gather, just make sure that you put the left one on the left foot and the right one on the..... I know, be nice! But it's so boring.
