Sorry but you don't learn at a 705 operator. I hate it when fo's tell me, I am here to learn, but how will I learn etc... 705 is about operating safely and then yeah, the more time you spend doing something the more experience you get and won't repeat mistakes! Well speak for yourself, I’ve learned...

It's also fleet dependent. The DH8 out West operates out of much more technical places (YCG, YYF, YYD, etc) and requires very good scan, speed control and situational awareness. I'm sorry but the instructor and the college grad, while he might know SOPs, can be nothing but dead weight in those plac...

Who is scarier in the right seat: 1) 200hr eyes wide open college grad 2) 500hr king air/navajo FO 3) 1000hr instructor They all have their faults/flaws. But thats where we're at for hiring now. Hands down, I'll take the college kid who wants to learn, doesn't have any bad habits and won't try and ...

Lightchop.....I am thinking very careful and I say NO to this FIRST offer. There will be another round of negotiations if we stick together. And if there isn't one, so be it. Let GGN keep their CRJs and fly them harder and for less pay then us. Let them even get 900s....plenty of other airlines hir...

What a joke. That'll be a no from me. Where are those numbers in comparison to the current A and B scale? Honest Question. I don't work at Jazz. Well BE02 Driver, my year 2 FO pay goes up by $2.50-hr, but we aren’t being blocked at 85hrs like we should be... and being stuck on reserve I get the AVG...

You were awarded left seat at what? The one year mark? There are people hitting the one year mark at this company presently, flying on a comparatively worse plane and schedule, who are simply hoping to hold a block. So I find it extremely hypocritical that you're willing to throw them under the bus...

As per our contract you’re frozen on type for 4yrs (following the initial line check) in the same base or 2 yrs if you are trying to transfer to another base. I’ve been told from an ALPA rep that they seeked clarification from management on the Q400 vs DH8 for the freeze. They claimed that there is...

Avoid hotels if you can... during higher travel season (cruise and fishing trip peaks May(ish)- October) you won’t be able to get a room anywhere for less than $200/night before tax (and that’s a deal). I’ve been commuting YYC-YVR for almost a year and with the low block averages and high reserve li...

Aren't they just extending the life of the -300s? I'm sure a big enough order, and Viking would make some Q300NGs They are attempting to extend the life of the -311's, as it seems the -301s are kaput once the gear is out of spec. GSTA went in for its extension and lo and behold, ended up being part...
