Re: Emirates after AC

Re: Emirates after AC

New FOs at Emirates take home more than the equivalent of $200k CAD to start. You don't have to be old to be a boomer. Ok, I thought it was clear, in CANADA, these companies are not going to pay new hires 200k. If they pay that well over there, why aren’t more FOs leaving for browner pastures. Alot...

Re: New YYC Sim facility with CAE

Im curious; why do some people think thata 737 can replace a Q? It seems so obvious that im confused why it's suggested so often. Even if you try replace it with a smaller jet like an embraer or A220, nothing would come close to meeting the Q's efficiency for low demand short haul markets. Unless i...

Re: Skycare or Thunder Airlines?

Thunder without a question. Thunder tries to follow the rules Skyscare tries not to get caught breaking then. They're disturbingly good at it. Skycare has a nasty bond, and a nasty game they play that forces you to stay. Call it "Hotel Skycare". Start as a Metro/WW FO. Just before your bond is up, ...

Re: How the hell do people train in the GTA?

The landscape of flight training is shifting in this country and eventually it will almost all be program structured with airline partnership just like the european system.

Re: No Fly Lists.

What about people who call "jihad" on Palestinians? Would you be okay with them being put on the no fly list? There's countless videos of those calling for palestinian genocide and those actually commiting it over there.

In every media publications when it comes down to numbers they only ever seem to post the top seniority widebody captains as a reference. Why are we not countering this?? The public needs to see the 40% that are on flatpay making well under 100k

Re: It is imminent.......be ready.

I had a dream yr 1 fo was $100hr That's more of a nightmare. It would only equate to 90k/year. Imagine after all this struggle and fighting, that the flag carrier only manages to match the same starting salary as Flair (an airline that charges $50 fares) $100 is pitifully low and should get a no vote

Hello. I'm considering AC vs some other options. I was initially leaning towards AC but now have become doubtful due to just how far back they are in terms of pay vs every one else and how much one would have to struggle the first year.
