Re: Westjet FO take home pay

2nd Year 737 FO Last few months average out to ~$7,700 per month take home (not including REIP as I came from Encore). I very rarely pick up Open Time but do occasionally and also have a pairing finish after 2am the next day which triggers 4 credits of Premium, but most months in that average do no...

Re: Westjet FO take home pay

Hi all, just wondering if a fellow Westjet FO could provide some insight on take home pay after deductions? I know the new CBA was geared towards taking away less in deductions. I’ve heard per diems are roughly $800 per month, but could anyone tell me what the take home of 38.75 credits is every tw...

Re: Any Pilots live in Canmore?

Many pilots live 1+ hours from the airport and are able to hold reserve at WestJet. Realistically, if you're packed and ready to go, you can be as far as 1.5 hour drive from the airport, assuming 30 minutes to find parking, get through security and to the gate. Definitely. I guess I was wondering m...

Any Pilots live in Canmore?

Interested to hear if any of you are living in Canmore or other close to YYC mountain destinations? Is this do-able on reserve as a new hire? Long call? Short call? How many days on the pairings? Ultimately, how often do you end up needing to do the 1 hour + drive, and is it worth it to live in the ...

Re: WestJet Sunwing merger and seniority

Base and seats should be protected at a minimum. Relative base seniority should then be negotiated. Just my opinion and it's like an a*hole, everyone has one. An arbitrator should not disadvantage one group over another, lest they risk losing their own license. Why seats though? As long as pay is p...

Re: WestJet Sunwing merger and seniority

As someone on the outside here's what I think is fair. There will be a date decided when the WS/WG deal was effective. Anyone hired at WG after that date will be BOTL. Everyone hired before that date will be date of hire with 3 protections: - Pilots are base protected for x number of years - Pilots ...

Re: TUI style

Flawed logic. If we only needed 23 aircraft in the slow season then we wouldn't carry 27 aircraft year round, we'd likely keep it at 25 and try and increase utilization a bit. Of course, we're going to be able to avoid the burden of extra costs in the low season, that's the whole point. The whole c...

can anyone else share how schedule and QOL is with the new contract. days worked etc.

For the reduced and zero block, is that always available? Would it be reasonable to get 2 months unpaid off every year

Re: A Happy Right Seater

At some airlines, yes. But, for example, 20 YOS might get you close to the top of right seat 777, it would only get you barely half way in the left seat. There will always be a quality of lifestyle change going from F/O to CA. (Unless you were going F/O 777 to CA A220). Plus take a look at marginal...
