I expect it will take quite a while to sort through the resumes of so many qualified pilots.

As a goodwill gesture, between YYZ YYC YEG and YVR you can use the reciprocal J/S on Flair. RAIC.... OR....Pilot’s licence and a copy of the furlough/lay off notification...... and other airline ID (if available). Personal travel only and not for deadheading or for any other business purposes. Clas...

Does anyone know if WestJet is still on track for hiring with all the negatives in the news the last few weeks? Just wondering if they have made any changes to their forecasts. Thanks, Good question! Let's get this 2020 hiring thread back on track! Has the outlook for hiring changed? With Encore ap...

The last line in the graphic shows FO on long range aircraft has a range from $62k - $105k as the base salary. Given the current market I would expect recent hiring to be toward the upper end of that spectrum. Comparably, you can go to a regional, upgrade to left seat in a year and make over $100k e...

funny they went with the max as Indigo purchased over 400 Neo's a few years back. I imagine right about now they might be changing their minds...

MAX not back until summer now. If they still are backed by Indigo it may be an excellent time to make the move away from Boeing.

Glad to hear the one list is back!

How is the whole PTA thing going? I heard flow has stopped for an undetermined amount of time? Any truth to the rumours?

Question about the latest job ad:

Tagged as Citation FOs but ad text talks about the need for FOs and Capts for Jet aircraft. No mins listed for DECs. Can anyone clarify if this is just a cut and paste error or are they looking for CJ and Legacy crews?

Cheers,

It is either dumb luck or pure genius that the company has been able to get two parts of the same union to go to war with each other.

I think the hardest thing, and a lot of the frustration, for Encore pilots at the moment is the uncertainty and zero direction from leadership. If things were just finalized (One list, flow, Onex) then it would be a lot easier to make the decision to stay or go. Unfortunately there is no time horiz...

Enerjet hiring crew for Spring 2020 ground schools. Anyone talked to them yet? WAWCON? 737max, 320Neo?

Or Eva Airways is hiring non-typed 787 FOs on commuting contracts...

PIC in a multicrew airplane, presumably with a bunch of engines, does not help you to hone your skills in forced landings, spins and stalls for example. One could argue that the extra added pressure of solo time would be psychologically different (you screw up, you die) whereas in a multicrew envir...

I've heard this many times... It even applies to RCAF folks trying to make the move to the civil side. Government of Canada owns and operates the aircraft, it has an ICAO designation, but because there are no civil operators in Canada you can't have it on your licence... "Thanks for your service, bu...

Cloak, I agree that the onelist between the regional carrier and mainline doesn't work with the new model the corporation is trying to take, especially as you mention, there will most likely have to be some external hiring of experience. But! To be fair to all those who came through the door of Enco...

I believe however major expansion is on the horizon at WestJet, just awaiting the Onex deal and Max situation. Once that happens there'll be meaningful growth. I would hope there would be some expansion and growth! Last numbers I heard were 9 years to upgrade on the 737, 15 years to sit right seat ...

Don't waste your time getting the CPL. If you've got the time, get the ATPL (also no need to worry about "solo" time). I got the PPL when I completed PFT and then never bothered with anything else after that. I recently did the application for the ATPL with no issue. You will have to submit a copy o...

A couple ads for ChartRight out recently. How is retention going for them with AC needing 800+ spots filled? High turnover? Any incentives to not go to the airlines?

How many days on reserve per month and for how many months to be able to hold a block?

You’d think with all the Union dues paid, the union Lawyers would be able to mount a Constitutional challenge to being denied the right to take labour action. Even the time it takes to legislate the union back to work will achieve, at least, part of the aim. And what happens if the union doesn’t go ...

The situation at BA sounds a lot like what's happening here. There is no shortage of wage complaints on this forum. It seems like the BA pilots are doing something about it!

Good morning folks, I’ve recently been pooled and am super excited about it. I have a couple questions for those of you that commute: -Currently, how long of a wait is it to hold a YYC base? I’ve read the threads and consensus is about 2-3 years. If approved, would a shared seniority list with WJE ...

Has anyone had experience with AirPartners? There does not seem to be much on the forums about the company. Wondering what the WAWCON for an FO on Citation X as well as an overall take on the company / management?

Any info / opinion / experiences would be appreciated.

Is Georgian even a company anymore?
