Also, Air Canada actually ‘owns’ 10% of Jazz. Don’t know how much more ‘common’ it could get…well, I guess, about 90%, but still. Can you sight another example of your ‘cost plus CPA’s’ Bede where the other company gave two shits what the others companies bottom line was? I am unaware of any. The b...

My understanding of the communications from the MEC are that if the resolution handed down regarding the ULP is not satisfactory, they will seek common employer. I don't think that ball is rolling just yet.

You applied a week ago come on man haha. Applied and have been updating since May. 1400 TT 800 multi. I got hired during the peak of the frenzy and the process still took months and months. People need to reframe their expectations a bit. It's not a job at McDonalds, its somewhere you *could* spend...

My guess is they will extend the length of the agreement for atleast an additional year. Which is a huge win for the company, and in return for that maybe 3-4% increase to wages focusing most on year one pay. And they will likly get ground pay at 50%. They already offered them an 8% increase in yea...

I agree with you, it’s an either or situation which is also one of the reasons it’s difficult to attract any experienced pilots to Jazz, the future is a big unknown! The ULP decision could make Jazz more attractive to AC for purchase, like you say for the human assets, if the pilot wages go to what...

We are at the point, imo, at which either AC eliminates Jazz as an entity by squeezing it out of existence while slowly accumulating all younger pilots who wish to continue their careers at Mainline and at the expense of loosing the experienced ones to the competition or the old man/woman pastures ...

The problem is, you’ve got tons of FOs at Jazz without an ATPL, much less the minimum required time for AC. How’s that going to work? They could start by revamping their PICUS program so it isn't the most restrictive in the country. Picus time is actually a joke. Get some real pic time… Not fo unde...

Easiest solution would be AC hires 100% from Jazz Everyone follows the same order, no more staffing problem, and it would hurt the competition also. The problem is, you’ve got tons of FOs at Jazz without an ATPL, much less the minimum required time for AC. How’s that going to work? They could start...

Jazz was once a career destination. It isn't anymore. They voted to agree to a reduction from 60 to 30% flow to AC, don't be surprised if you are not attractive anymore. Jazz has been used as a stepping stone to get to AC, now with the reduction in flowing pilots, why would someone go to jazz hones...

No one actually knows whay exactly was filed with the CIRB, and we won't know until it is all over. So a common employer may have been part of it... We will all know soon enough. Speak to your reps. No common employer is currently filed. Your reps have not even been remotely honest with you about p...

Tindi is (at least when I was there) an outstanding operation. I have absolutely no regrets, aside from not staying longer. If you want the true northern adventure (and risk), fly the twin otter. If you want a more structured and comfortable flying experience, take the king air. Both are great optio...

Like the title says. Does anyone know what the MEC is actually trying to get out of this process? Will it benefit everyone, a select few? Would love to know

1) Go through the interview to see what it's like. 2) forget about the jazz advantage program. 3) find a mom&pop flight school and bang off a cpl as quick as possible 4) go enjoy and learn flying the small stuff 5) if jazz is still appealing to you at 3k hours, shoot them a resume. 3000 hrs for wha...

When I was in flight training in a 172 I tried A20s vs Zulu 3 and found the Zulus fit me better, were built of better materials, and had a longer warranty with equivalent performance to the A20s. Now I fly a Twin Otter which is absurdly loud and I find myself bothered by the noise often. I'm not sur...

That link is from 2004 and the exemption is expired. First day of the 13th month.
