And what airlines would you like to apply to? No. Southeast Asia or bust. But the wife doesn't like how pretty the FAs are compared to ACs crusty ones :lol: Unless you go fly for BA (which is not EASA anymore), your wife would still be jealous. But, you can show her the BA FA's and tell her that's ...

:up: As a fourth-year FO at WestJet who’s still on reserve, my advice would be to go to AC if you get the offer. Friends hired at AC after I started at WestJet are already captains, so I wouldn’t base your decision on the assumption that WJA means a 16-year upgrade or that AC necessarily offers a fa...

Hello folks, I am considering WestJet but am genuinely curious/concerned about the upgrade times. I have read previous threads and am not looking for people to bash in the comments but am wondering if anyone has an idea of what the upgrade times are looking like and if they are forecasted to contin...

I hope they get no less than what WJ got (amazing btw). Getting paid the difference between duty and block time at 0.5 is crazy good. Imagine if pilots would get it, especially for a regional where you have 4-6 legs. Something to look forward to... 2035

Negotiated? Are you sure? “ If a new Pilot Base or the introduction of new Equipment is anticipated, the Company shall post a notice at all existing Pilot Bases a minimum of thirty (30) Calendar Days in advance of the anticipated Vacancy bulletin posting, so that Pilots may change their ESPB. Such ...

So how many in September ground school? Only 4 NH spots on the RJ for September….target was 25 per month going forward….how many were actually hired? We’re losing more than we hire lately…unsustainable. Maybe HR took the summer off. There’s more qualified pilots out there than spots available. Hope...

So anyone has the TA summary?

It is not harder to get professional help. Simply pick up the phone and ask your doctor office for a referral for professional mental help. And go unemployed? Nobody will do that. This sounds exactly like the vax propaganda, nobody forces you do it, but if you don't say good bye to your income and ...

I think the reality is that it is already being hidden. Yes of course it is. So why make it harder for people who are already hiding it to get professional help, or for people on the edge to scare them away from getting professional help because an overzealous government might dig into their medica...

Oh god when I was there, I did a YOW-YVR-YOW red eye turn and it was a line indoc pairing (poor guy). It left YOW around 8pm arriving at 10pm, then did the return to YOW arriving at 630am. I did it on OT but swore I'd never do that again :lol: Still much better than Jazz's shit continous duty where...

Hardest thing is to scramble and figure out the "switch to enroute frequency". Need to do homework for your route. IFR is so much more elegant. I'm in the same boat as you, I'd take IFR any day. Slightly funny when students/instructors/PPL are so scared of IFR when in fact it makes your life tons e...

YES!! And I dont know why you argue with CdnAvater. He loved a idiotic 20 years deal at Jazz and leadership that got tossed. :lol: Zero credibility. He's a boomer that is retiring within 5 years. It fit like a glove for *HIS* circumstances. Hits 200k without OT, green circled, DB pension, C2s, can ...

Hard yes, but at 10 credits, you only have to work 8, maybe 9 days a month. Not a bad deal.

Because the objective is to gain command experience. I know you guys think you can just switch seats and be good to go but it's a different ballgame. Being able to fly the plane is the easy part. It's the decision making that is hard. Your ego is dripping News flash, an atpl is just a piece of pape...

Who cares about WJ??? Your pay would triple and you'd have true legacy airlines to pick and choose if AB becomes the 51st state. Literally no other group of people would win more than pilots.

I like it. Nothing shows how badly you had fallen behind like a 26% catch up bump on line 1 to start things out. It's a typical ALPA deal. The relatively new folks, year 1 and 2 FO get around 4%, while the top of the scale gets 30%. Just another example of how airline pilot unions eat the young eve...

... Go fly a BE-02, PA-31 or something to get meet the requirements, it looks way better and you get PIC time which is highly more valuable than buying a PPC to fly right seat for however long. ... Quit your airline job to go fly a Beech to qualify for a better airline job? What an industry. And pe...

Why wouldn't they hire outside encore? Are they supposed to only hire from within?

Why would AC pay better than an ULCC? Nobody wants to hang their hat there, especially with the risk of bankruptcy around the corner. Everybody wants to end up at AC, or a vast majority. AC has no legacy competitors like Delta or United has in the US. Are you seriously going to call WJ a competitor...

Its even simpler than any of the above. If a company is granted an OC in canada, (yes there are a lot, but not as many as there are pilots) that should come with a login and access to an internal verfication on TCs website. All they have to do is login to TC's verification site. Punch in the licens...

Here we have yet another rookie who wants the answers spoon fed to him before looking up VERY accessible and plentiful information that already answers stupid questions like these... Buddy. Read the chats. Literally dozens of people have said how long things are taking. Also, we live in a dynamic w...

I’m having a hard time believing that transport canada records showed he only had a cpl and he was getting away with it all these years. I think it’s far more likely he was issued an ATPL when he shouldn’t have been and transport finally discovered it. Same here. there has to be to many checks and ...
