Shame on the WENMEC for agreeing to the initial 1 month delay as a “good gesture” without any repercussions to the company or any added benefit to the pilots. Any pilots with debts paid an extra month of interest on $850 of those debts. The MOA voting window and ratification date was specifically ag...

Make sure you come with some extra money stashed away as the company isn’t paying their pilots on time. First MOA payment was supposed to come Jan 30. Got delayed until end of Feb because it was more convenient for the company. Guess what, No pilots got their MOA payment for end of Feb paycheque. It...

Not much different for Encore even with the “retention” moa. Apparently 6 in the latest initial class.

Last year the plan was a class of 10 every 3 weeks. Then that changed to a class of 16 every month. Then a class of 10-12 a month. Now they’re lucky to run a full class.

Well there is this thing called "hubs". And Dubai is one of the major "hubs" in the world. And judging by the increasingly diverse population in Alberta this would be an excellent opportunity to bypass that huge mess called Pearson and simply fly direct to a major "hub" where you can connect to go ...

Unless, of course, you’re looking to time build to get your ATPL hours. That would be about the only reason right now.

I think the bigger news is that the Encore MEC chair (with 6-7 years at the company), who took to flow to mainline Nov 1, is now a new hire at AC just a few days later. This in addition to the vice chair leaving the company earlier this year. Just shows that even those with the most inside info have...

To further DC10’s comment, what makes you thinks that intentionally wasting money, purely out of spite (when you have no legal grounds to job action as a unionized work force), would make any employer want to give you a pay raise. In my experience, the idiot that does that gets fired. The ones that ...

Look around for the image titled "WestJet Encore August 2022 Flow Class" where it's eight pilots who left Encore for Air Canada. I believe that most, if not all of them accepted flow and then left before beginning training at mainline. The exodus is happening. Unfortunately leaving is not practicab...

All changed now. Most of DXP and MTCE are cross trained on the 37 and Q including out-bases.

Pretty much everyone except pilots, FA’s and some office support staff are mainline.

There an initial class of 6(?) that just started last week. Hiring on a hiatus for Sept to allow for catch up on a training backlog. Classes to fire up again potentially in Oct with plans for 1 class of 14 (if they can fill 14) a month. Will be interesting to see how hiring goes with the likely canc...

I’ve heard that Aug GS is for the un vaxxed recalls. If they’re still trying a class every 3 weeks then there should still be an OTS one. Not sure if every 3 weeks is still the case as there’s an apparent trainer shortage.

I am working at encore and i cannot agree more. Wait, You're working at Encore? In this post from August 2020, you say you're working at Jazz: http://www.avcanada.ca/forums2/viewtopic.php?p=1124852#p1124852 Traning bond or ... non flying job Report Quote Post by Saubia » Mon Aug 17, 2020 3:16 pm Go...

Do you keep your YOS(years of service) when moving to CA?

No. Doesn’t really matter though when people are upgrading in a year (Maybe 2 if you’re starting with 1000hrs or less)

Why do I doubt that either of you are Encore pilots and that your "best intentions" for Encore pilots start with your own best interests first? Not that it matters, everyone has their own opinion, and that’s cool. I work at WEN. I’d say I have a lot to lose, should a merger go sideways. You could s...

I actually feel like the pilot group stands to benefit from it being cancelled. All pilots currently on the list are protected. It immediately forces the company’s hand to do something about it as the resume pile disappears. With a potential SWG pilot merger in the near future, Encore pilots stand t...

Swoop has been running a new hire ground school consisting of 15-18 pilots every week for almost a month now from what I understand, and there's no end in sight. Not correct unfortunately. I’d be surprised if they had the capacity to do 15 new hires per month let alone per week. Any classes up unti...

The only two companies even planning upcomming new hires are jazz and encore, however they have set no date to any ground school nor have they released any plans on the size or number of new hire groundschool. You raise some good points. but Encore is running two new-hire groundschools in April. Da...

What worries me is that many fall back on the “they can only grow to 30” argument. Scope is embedded in CA1 which expires very soon. I can already hear their voices in arbitration “we need more swoop planes to recover from covid”. And with a wave of Kaplan’s magic wand, poof! More pink planes. I ho...

Unfortunately one or some of the above posters have a 100% post history of pissing on Encore. They clearly currently work for Encore, and It really is unfortunate that they continue to be so negative towards the company, yet continue to CHOOSE to be employed there. While I agree to an extent that hi...

Most recent thing I’ve heard for Encore as of 2 weeks ago is new hire classes starting April or May. Over 1000 applications for the f/o posting. 250hr new hires most likely not brought on until late summer (250hr training program still being built) and the first chunk of them will be from partner fl...
