Approximately $500/month than the starting salary will get you cooking french fries in a McDonald's on the West Coast. No joke.

Does this new travel policy that F8 has announced include staff travel for the employee and eligible dependents on other carriers or just F8? I hope it's the former or else it's a far cry from industry leading...

Me thinks you both failed to grasp my point. The conversation was about right of abode and work so unless you're doing it correctly you'll never make it past Immigration to Customs. Brits also have Immigration, and I'm sorry but 'a boot'? Seriously? Not exactly a fair equivalent for an organization ...

What's with Canadians calling Immigration 'Customs'? Same uniform but they are not synonymous with each other and each process plays its part differently. I'm sure some of you are old enough to remeber the CCRA and not the CIRA? Not sure about now but back in the day (pre-pandemic) there were plenty...

I'm afraid that anybody can call themself whatever they'd like to on here. I would NOT assume that 'Flairpilot' is indeed an actual one. More likely an inflammatorynonpilot. So you understood the point was irrelevant and still decided to bring it up? Solid Logic! Keep calling me names when your inte...

Engaging in intelligence battles with a keyboard isn't a good look. Why do you seem to be taking such a personal stake on the Flair/CTA subject? So you understood the point was irrelevant and still decided to bring it up? Solid Logic! Keep calling me names when your intelligence is questioned, it's ...

Well you're slowly getting there my friend. Yes there were vacant seats on The Board. 7 to be precise. The Board will now seat 9 people and the number of vacant seats will be filled by Canadians bringing the total occupied seats to 9, thus filling the new restructured Board. Try not to sum up all yo...

The board is being restructured to 9 seats. It used to be 12 and 7 were vacant. Now there will be 7 Canadians and 2 Americans on it. As I eluded to before, anybody cheer leading for the demise of an airline (other than their own) in Canada is clearly compromised and a waste of time to engage with. 1...

1. F8 currently leases only 5 of their aircraft from 777 Partners. 2. 777 occupies 3 of the 12 available seats on the Board (7 vacant). 3. F8 is not yet required to repay 777. 4. F8 is in fact Canadian owned. 5. 18 month delay request is to shift debt and wait for a more favourable market environmen...

About the National Airlines Council of Canada: The National Airlines Council of Canada represents Canada’s largest national and international passenger air carriers: Air Canada, Air Transat, Jazz Aviation LP and WestJet. Just what the heck exactly did you think they would say? 🙄 And sadly that is a ...

Wow you must have some pretty sweet insider info because as far as I'm concerned - and what's available to the public - there has not been any guilty conviction->fine/penalties nor extensive details listing CTA findings etc.. But hey, once again, why let the facts get in the way of some sensational ...

It's easy to research and you'll find that Flair only leases 25% of their aircraft from 777 Partners but hey, why let the facts get in the way of a good (AC, WJ fuelled) story. Some of you haters posting here need to get a life. Image if the government shuts down an airline for not taking their NOT ...

You are correct in that if Lynx has chosen to pick and choose which Canadian regs and laws they choose to abide by, they too are headed into a stiff wind. Indigo's m/o is to control what they invest in so we'll see what transpires. If their noses are clean, you can bet your next paycheck they've su...

I’m waiting for Flair’s PR team to announce “overwhelming” demand for the free flights to Burbank. If there’s organic demand as a result of a careful strategic and tactical network planning, something Flair has steadfastly avoided since day one, flights will fill with economic fares without having ...

Some things best not left to luck...

Thanks again all!

Thanks very much again for all of the very useful information. Many things to consider... Clear Canada still has a long way to go with pilot pay and lifestyle but hopefully things are trending (slowly) in the right direction. If I could just ask one more question.. Supposing I was granted a YVR basi...

Thanks very much for all the very useful info. Looking at the salary scale I’d just like to confirm that on anything on a YVR base it’s 56k as an FO and stays 5 digits until the 5 year mark?

This question has no doubt been asked many times, however I’m hoping somebody in the know could entertain me. I am currently a wide body Captain operating overseas. High time and have flown world wide operating different types of medium and heavies. The homeland is calling me and I am seriously cons...

One of the neat features of the newer GPS displays is they can display GPS altitude discretely on the screen . Fun to watch the altimeter ,radar altimeter and GPS start to agree on descent. Who knows maybe we will be given GPS altitudes to fly in the future :) New aircraft like the A350 already use...

We are all laboring the same point (albeit with varying hostility and condescension). I don't think anybody here needs to be told what the role of PIC is. In order to clarify my original statement let me add this "...could result in a loss of separation and should not be done without approval ." Thi...

The Missed Approach Altitude is an AT constraint, therefore in a radar environment flying to a corrected Missed Approach Altitude could result in a loss of separation and should not be done. In an emergency and/or loss of comms the terrain clearance takes precedence so have the corrected altitude av...

the MAX. And they're flying with training captains for MONTHS, even after line checks All is good and automation will offset low time until it doesn't. Training captains are not god and the aircraft is not single pilot. The main question is how do pilots gain and maintain stick and rudder skills. E...

Thanks soyer
