Looks like the COO is the next layoff!

Pretty thin on details. Not surprising though with the US moving to required pre-arrival COVID testing starting Jan 26.

Some thread drift but certainly an interesting take on the Canadian political climate and where we think the industry is going or not going. But what about the short term? As the thread title looks at More WJ layoffs; any rumours from Team Teal on this. Your MOA ends at the end of March? How many ar...

Have we returned to the experience requirements of ol' where you need shuttle time to fly a Navajo in Canada? Hmm. In the current market they can ask for whatever they want and will probably get it!!! For a private operator, I'd guess more experience means less insurance. How many WJ pilots with to...

I'm betting on layoffs or major concessions at the end of the current MOA. The 1000 non-pilot layoffs / pay cuts is an overture of what's to come.

"Hold on to your butts"

Nonzero chance of being shot at while on the job. Nonzero chance of being stationed in an extremely inhospitable place while on the job. I suppose both are risks in any flying job, but i'd say they're a lot higher in the military. The irony of this statement is that I’ve got friends who flew up Nor...

I had an interview there a few years ago. From what I recall FO pay was around 50K and captain around 80K. Good answer... Speaks volumes on quality of life as well as how the place is operated. Two cents, don't sign the bond.... but you know as well as I do the next guy being interviewed will, so w...

Or perhaps the Forces should not be the Employer Of Last Resort. Just a thought... Considering your salary after flight training (to wings standard) is about $80k/yr I think it's fair to say its better than working the ramp throwing bags for minimum wage after dumping tens of thousands of dollars i...

Well, I did. I fully expect that the 10s of thousands of dollars I've spent on flight training will exempt me from starting from the bottom. Unfortunately it seems you were sold a lie. Even at the best of times, you could maybe expect some survey or pipeline patrol work in a 172. Most stay on to in...

That was the takeaway? How about advertising the “Become an airline pilot faster” part? I guess someday is technically “faster” than never.

Just before this went to sugar honey iced tea, Corporate sold my ride. I was lucky enough to get on with a small company that sent me to sim in the USA. I was coming back, when I had 2 calls while waiting for my bags in customs with offers of groundschool dates. Sorry these guys just spent a ton of...

After reading this thread I saw an ad on this forum that made me laugh... I also laughed at the "Realist" meme.

Define "faster"... Worth a quick Google search. Ties optional, open collars mandatory!

Better off giving someone else the shot and mold the way you want them, not a disgruntled airline pilot. I find sometimes operators use this type of language to mask taking advantage of less experienced pilots. Less experienced not only in terms of flying hours but also in what is and isn’t accepta...

I like the part about working by yourself with bears.

Nailed it!

Begin ??? Hell, it's been in progress since the 80's, where have you been hiding ?

Air Force...

Let the race to the bottom begin!!!!

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.
