Where were the cargo planes during the Hail storm? Did they get pummeled? If not, they would be a good source of parts to repair damaged YYC aircraft. Yeah, lets just borrow a fuselage or wing skin. Cause those are easy to swap from plane to plane. While it’s funny, there are parts that are being u...

Didn’t flica have a subscription you could pay for that would notify you if something came in open? Of course, I’m not sure if it would pick it up for you or just notify you which means you’d have to be available to get it assigned to you. Yes its $14US a month for the alerts which is hefty for the...

I don’t even know why this made it on the news. Slow news day I guess. It was 1 flight/day. A fraction of a percent of WestJets flying. There will most likely be a WestJet base in YUL this time next year with Sunwing coming on board. Probably lots of flying out of YUL then. Especially since this wa...

:oops: 6.35 hours per day. That’s horrible. Works for me, that's actual flight time. With trip rigs and the rest, the credit ends up being more. So like I said I work 12 days a month. And that's not doing single days. Guys working single days work less days. Lots of variety for what ever work you p...

Is the YYC base so unprofitable they want to close it, or maybe just give the west to westjet ? Interesting times, the timetable has changed for February, no more direct flights to yxe/yqr. If WJ and AC both agreed to stay in their respective backyards, they could keep prices high, as the competiti...

Who would fly from YYC to Dubai? If you want to go to an unaffordable featureless place in the middle of nowhere floating on a lake of oil, then take a trip to Ft. MacMurray - at least they won't stone you to death for taking a sip of alcohol! And, if you want to transit elsewhere in the world, go ...

CPDLC has launched in several US centres. The infrastructure is there nationwide. No doubt we will see national KUSA coverage soon. We asked a US controller one day when theirs would be on line for Canadian aircraft, the response was “you will be able to once you guys are caught up!” 😂. It was sile...

There were some liquor stores around the YYC airport that gave discounts. Railyard brewery just north of the airport gives a discount too.

Don’t you get board of having conversations with yourself?

PDF attached Please share this with your friends, colleagues, WJ management, ALPA groups, p2p groups, ALPA reps and telegram chat group. We need better conditions/wages NOW! We need flow back and YOS! :smt040 Add Jazz, Porter Lynx and Jetlines and sunwing benefits and the cash match or other perks....

So a lot of mediation arbitration between Christmas and New Years? Lol :roll: . How about the yyc captain whip LH lol. That’s even better! But I see he’s blocked his schedule now Isn’t it nice to have the time to sit at home studying other guys/gals schedules, who are stepping up to do the work tha...

I still see some random ones on the November AC schedule.

At least 1 has been operating out west, not sure if it’s an operational spare or on certain routes.

And if the MEC did that it would be considered job action….

You looked at the dates of the original post right?

Greyhound, Vistajet, Jetsgo…… Greyhound was a joke, Vistajet is a corporate business jet company (not ULCC), and Jetsgo was run by Michel Leblanc (don't need to add anything else), I mean really who the hell is going to make money on $5 seat tickets running NON-RVSM MD80s? Vistajet operated 1 or 2 ...

... - but they all have the same formula. ULCC's will not work.... ... People here (mostly Westjet fans) keep saying this. I would suggest that the ULCC model has never been tried in Canada. Not an Airline In an Airline (Swoop/ Rouge), not a cheep fee structure by a new name every 6 months (AC's li...

Does it? It's probably safe to assume that if the junior westjet pilots wanted to fly night cargo, they would have gone to a night cargo operator. I haven't flown night cargo, but I did night medevac, and I can honestly say I would take a non aviation job over going back to the night flying any day...

There have been a couple ground schools so far, next is planned for Jun 7th YYZ base.....subject to change now I’m guessing

It should be painfully clear to WestJet pilots by now that they were let down by a few individuals who did not even trust them and made the decision for them as benevolent kings do for their subjects. Ummm, ok Westjet pilots flying in April and onwards are now being paid FULL PAY for their position...

Another problem for the 737 Max... Boeing's 737 Max has a new problem that will ground some of the jets again https://www.cnn.com/2021/04/09/business/boeing-737-max-electrical-problem/index.html Doesn’t affect AC fleet at all, even WS had only 1 aircraft affected by this and it was the recent deliv...

Don't think they announced it but LHR et CDG are back in the schedule for this summer. LHR is not in the schedule but slots have been acquired, doesn’t mean the flights will happen. CDG never left the summer schedule. The schedule has only been updated month to month so after May the schedule is pr...

Current hours, no. But all the flying they have announced so far will have the remaining pilots flying full blocks this summer I am guessing. YXX-YYZ?, not sure what the plan is with city pairings like that (have we ever done that?). There is talk by EVP’s of ‘digital alignment’ of the Swoop produc...

More routes added back on. Who will fly these? I guess they will need the pilots......

Everyone that is still there, current hours are not even close to the min pay levels....
