Was told on the phone, during GS you pull your seniority number and then get to bid on your base. What are the odds of getting YYZ base? I suppose it is pretty common and likely to get? Why not just get told before you get hired. If I have to commute I won’t be able to work there. Because that's ho...

Sounds bad on paper, but in reality, it has not affected anyone significantly since the post-pandemic hiring boom. Regardless of what base you are assigned, your first 2-3 months are spent in YYZ for initial training where you are put up and offered POS travel to and from domicile. After that, you ...

If they still get applicants willing to play “mystery base” on day 1 of groundschool then it will continue status quo. Most new hires are still young low experience candidates who tend to not be tied down with mortgages and families which is also the problem since Jazz needs experience for the left...

The issue is for 703/705 FO’s without an ATPL. They’re now blocked from applying to other airlines that require an ATPL to be hired unless they upgrade at their current airline to obtain said ATPL. To be seen what actually happens but I imagine that any operator that requires an ATPL, but no two cr...

So here's a question... with the influx of sub 1000 hour hires at 705's in the last few years, and more and more pilots going right seat immediately out of flight school or very quickly afterwards, what's going to happen in the future when there are going to be less and less ATPL's issued due to the...

They want to see if you can be trained. That sentence usually has a few interpretations as for what it means. Typically in the AC world it means 1. Show them you're respectful and make them feel like when they tell you something, that they're in the driver seat for a final opinion, not you. 2. Show...

To steer things towards the original topic... any ideas on what the take home pay would be for YR 1 FO, after the new benefits package and different LTD options?

Not to thread hijack but instead of starting another one, along with the info OP requested, what is the hiring amounts/timeline for 2026? I'm guessing they're looking to start hiring again after the TA vote?

didn't they layoff 20 FO's this year? Assuming recalls were already done, how many actually came back, and how many FOs are they planning to hire? Nope there was ZERO layoffs this year. The company and the Union worked together to avoid any layoffs. Unfortunately there was two Captain Downgrades Ah...

TA reached.. so what the deal is about? Pay scales somewhere between AC B767 & 737. Bunch of other improvements. Closer to the 767. Good deal considering the financial situation the company is in. WS and AC will get new contracts before it's our turn again. I saw the payscales and other QOL items a...

With all the contract violations it blows my mind people still apply here. There has to be better options… Seriously, it's time to move on... 58 Hell no, not until all the violations are settled. You would recommend people apply to this dumpster fire? While Jazz has it's problems, I can tell you it...

My guess is we will see the next round of hiring and upgrades closer to 2029 when the new 787s are due to arrive. Max deliveries appear to be mainly fleet replacements for aging NGs. I wouldn’t be surprised to see an occasional new hire class to replace FOs leaving for Porter and AC. Certainly if C...

They are legacies, you are not wrong there, albeit maybe the term legacy should be looked at with caveats, region dependent. But in the end yes it is to a large degree, subjective, and they all have their downsides. Like altiplano said, every individuals circumstances is different, and like I told ...

Just giving some context from what I can glean is all. US major and young enough, no brainer. Commuting from overseas, that sucks. Not into airline life, it is what it is. Go be a CA instead of an FO, sure. no one should be looking to leave a legacy airline Isn't Emirates a legacy airline? Cathay? ...

I won't feed the troll any longer. Good luck with your career. @twa - genuine question in my earlier post... It's a different calculation for everyone and their priorities. I acknowledge there is a mindset that either doesn't have an attachment here or it appeals to the living situation/lifestyle t...

For sure. Nobody knows what will happen, same goes for outside of this country. There is lots of uncertainty in all jurisdictions fed by economics and geopolitics and I think amplified through media. As tough as it is here in many respects, I'm not counting Canada out though. If you don't want to l...

Just giving some context from what I can glean is all. US major and young enough, no brainer. Commuting from overseas, that sucks. Not into airline life, it is what it is. Go be a CA instead of an FO, sure. Fair and valid, but again, it still goes to prove a point that, no one should be looking to ...

One of the probation pilots mentioned was ex RCAF Snowbird... don't think it was a probation issue here but moving to another opportunity, lots of demand right now for military experienced guys and airline life isn't suited to everyone - especially when you are at the bottom of a list of 6000+. I b...

3 out of 8 were NB CA so not extremely “junior”. Doubt 3 would have been in the situation that to save face they were given the option to “resign.” It would seem only the bottom 2 would be so junior that they would still be on probation. So 6 out 8 would have been safely out of probation. For the s...

8 resignations on today's bid. Almost all juniors. What is going on kool-aid krew? Now that, that is impressive, and clearly not in a good way... i'd be curious to know if there has ever been that many in a month in recent times (last 10-15 years) What's even more curious, where do these pilots go ...

Why Altiplano even entertained responding I think this is what people find so annoying about big boomer energy. If you hear someone saying that they can't afford the current cost of living I don't think they're looking for your tips on how to cut spending. Just say nothing if you don't agree that d...

I have a friend who did FSS in Ontario, moved far away and then after a year of being there was given the boot. I'd think twice before applying for nav especially as it takes fucking 2 years to even hear back after applying! When I applied about 10 years ago, it was 12 months to the day from the da...
