If you've got a multi engine rating, you can fly a Seneca. It's one of the easiest twins out there. The school's insurance might have some sort of caveat however. Thank you for the response, Do I as a flight instructor need to 'show' the CFI that I can teach in it and do the whole 10 hours on type ...

I get the point Rooster makes. This is not a new topic, and I suspect that some people will try to look up the answers to their questions, and then whether due to a feeling of entitlement or an inability to accept the reality that they were probably PFO'ed, they start another topic with the hopes of...

You post a topic asking where Sunwing went in September, 2025 and then you post another topic inquiring about direct entry captain positions.

Ill keep it very simple for you. You are not qualified.

Don't even bother with this guy. They're a waste of air.

I don't want anyone else to have to go through that, and the FAs certainly aren't. They are getting total compensation close to 50 thousand dollars on year one and receiving every benefit you can possibly receive. As a first job with no required education or skills. Its an amazing compensation offe...

While I respect the job a flight attendant does, these are not things that take a great deal of time to train. As far as I'm aware, being able to speak more than one language is a definite asset, but not a requirement. First aid training? Great! I took a first aid course when I was 16. They are not...

Don't flight attendants at a global airline often speak other languages, require training in medical situations, pass tests on emergency situations and are literally the face of the airline when dealing with passengers? While I respect the job a flight attendant does, these are not things that take...

Bizarre take, and full of inaccuracies. Per diem is not salary. It's to offset the additional costs of being away from home. Respectfully as a non troll, I actually tend to agree with Tolip with a lot of their points. Being a flight attendant is not a career that requires any sort of specialized sk...

I think the new pay scales are fair, ive been told it would be a salary of 30600 a year on year 1, plus approx 15 k or more in perdiums plus additional pay benefits aswell. A year one FA would be looking at 46-48 k a year or more, for only around 12 days of work a month and thats only year one, the...

The public should be very concerned whether the flight attendants can keep them safe in an emergency. They were ordered back to work 2 days ago but still don’t understand what that means, will they not understand when the Captain calls a order to evacuate? Don’t blame the Carney government, I belie...

This happens anytime there is high demand for seats. Are you new to the industry?

While I respect that the QC/Ufly combo is a great budget friendly option, and that it has the added bonus of doubling as a regular headset for deadheads, if you are flying professionally 6-10 hours per day, 400-900 hours per year, you should be investing in equipment that is designed for heavy useag...

By far the best headset in the market for airline pilots (in my opinion) are the Proflights. Zero clamping force, incredibly light, the in-ear part of it takes a bit of getting used to, but after a week or so of using it, you'll forget you're wearing a headset. I had to send them in for a minor repa...

Unfortunately it was a lot dirtier !

More like 251 knots below "18."

Sunwing FO's were allowed to bid for upgrades, if their seniority allowed of course. They secretly changed the upgrade requirements after the fact, and a revised bid award had taken away the upgrade for the Sunwing FO's that held left seat. It's unbelievable how management and the Westjet union are...

As someone else has already pointed out, you are very much incorrect. It was indeed a hijack.

This my opinion. If you are 35 or younger, you are probably better off going to WestJet. Even if you end up waiting 10 years for an upgrade, you still have potentially 20 years left in that left seat. And remember, if you upgrade at year 10, you go straight to year 10 captain scale. And while you w...

Does anyone know someone who has returned to WestJet after leaving and working at a different Canadian airline? If you're considering going but are afraid of making the wrong choice, know that unless you want to live in Calgary, your best long term and short term solution is leaving now. It's going...

You already stated you were jealous (which I think is the wrong word, you likely meant envious): Nice try. You can hold any opinion you want. It's when you attempt to peer pressure and borderling threaten pilots into doing a pointless test to make you feel better, that you're crossing a line. If yo...

Envy? Not in the slightest! I already shared that I'm happy that our Sunwing colleagues are here with us. You already stated you were jealous (which I think is the wrong word, you likely meant envious): Yes, maybe I am a tad jealous that more than a hundred pilots now have a job at Canada's second ...

You needed an ATPL to get hired. Some colleagues didn't. Get over it. Stop trying to justify your envy. You are the problem, your colleagues are not. Envy? Not in the slightest! I already shared that I'm happy that our Sunwing colleagues are here with us. They make us stronger. What I speak is my o...

If telling yourself the company will remove them from the flight line for something not required of them helps you sleep at night. Go for it. So you'd call their bluff, and continue on your merry way expecting no consequences in 12 months? That's funny! Straight from the memo: "Non-ATPL pilots will...

Either way, I'm sure most will feel enough pressure to write their AA's asap. But don't kid yourselves, the company can't dismiss them if the don't. Not only are they fully qualified for the seat they hold, but having an ATPL wasn't part of the merger conditions. Maybe not, but they can remove them...
