Re: YVR center capacity
It's corruption pure and simple. The people in the yvr acc are corrupt, they are gaming the system to their own benefit, and they don't care how many airlines they rip off to do it, they don't care how many passengers they inconvenience, they don't even care how many career paths they derail. They m...

Re: Not surprised...
It’s clear most on here are supporting the unions actions and likely actual members who are not biased at all 😇 the reality is we have far too many problems with the current MEC. The company needs to be held accountable, of course, and certain aspects have been well managed such as fatigue but we a...

Re: Minority stake of WJ sold
Probably shows how much of a losing venture Swoop was.
Lots of upside to the US, Korean, and French investment for WS though. I think it'll be a real positive, especially if they move their focus to more than the 4th largest market in Canada at some point.

Re: Minority stake of WJ sold
How much did Onex buy WJ for? Cause they sold 25% for 550 million. That's a 2.2 billion valuation. Onex paid about 3.5 billion and assumed debt which put the total transaction value around 5 billion at the time of purchase. There is a bit of a mix between USD and CAD. The valuation is 2.2b USD or 3...

Re: Pilot Hiring 2025
Does flair ever hire 1000 hour instructors for example? What are the chances someone with that experience gets any consideration? Thanks! We have hired several pilots with around 1000 TT, however we prefer at least some of that experience to be operational 703/704 time. It is unlikely that a candid...

Unless France decides not to let them have nukes and Putin bring the special military operations road show there next.

Re: SUNWING
There is no such airline as Sunwing, this is WestJet through and through. Did WJ not have the capability to assist with the latest SW disaster in order to get pax where they wanted to go? From what I hear, the pilots are WestJet, with WJ SOPs, on WJ's OC, and WJ's dispatch. I believe Sunwing Vacati...

Re: How long until layoffs due to Tariffs?
I wouldn't say we hold no cards. We have a pair of 2's. We have virtually all of the resources, and all we need to do is put some petty provincial bullshit aside and develop them, and we can sell to everyone else in the world. If the US is still the most profitable customer, even with tariffs, then...

Re: Should I send a resume now or wait?
I would definitely start reaching out to chief flying instructors now, you can send a resume with an estimated completion date. Just remember weather, maintenance, and a few other factors outside of your control can delay things.

Re: What are "airport restriction" in Calgary
Did they finish fixing YYC from the hail storm in August? I don't know that the B gates are open again after the roof caving in, but that shouldn't affect traffic much, there's still lots of open gates. It does seem like Navcanada is short staffed lately, we are frequently only landing one runway, ...

Re: Cost of Commuting
F8 was the last airline to stop the free reciprocal JS, nobody here knows why we did, it just happened one day. And WS was the first and only airline that I know of to weaponize JS travel. We have a mess of a JS program in this country and need to take the power back.

I’ve ran the number in the past, rough estimate for a 30 year career in the airlines commuting all of that time. Flights/hotels/meal, etc. I figure with inflation would be about 750,000$ I was able to keep it between $700-1000/ month most months, a few times I was around $1200/ month. Your estimate...
