99 times out of 100, the claims were made by a bitter ATC trainee who didn't qualify.
How about 30 something trainees in a row who didn't qualify, all fired by the same 2 guys?

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...

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.

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...

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: 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.
