How are you guys such experts on racist jokes anyways? There is this thing called Television. Specifically, American Television. But if you missed that, there are these things called Movies. Specifically, American Movies. Guess it's only burgers and fries for white guys going forward. Excellent, yo...

You will get haters in your life. People will try to get you fired for the sole reason of being jealous you're more successful. They'll report you to Transport Canada, they'll report you to your employer, they'll write you up, they'll play the racism card. I've had all happen to me. I love it becau...

Good.

So the youngest of the Boomers is (2026-1965=) 61
The oldest of the Boomers is (2026-1945=) 81

Most if not all of these people are already retired. The trailing edge of them is 4 years or less away from retiring. (Except for politicians and boardroom lurkers.)

Question for you: How old do you think a Boomer is?

Hopefully fiction doesn't become reality.

See everyone? These loser boomers who can’t retire aren’t causing a problem at all. You don’t need that money or left seat! Just chill. You’re the problem. Swing and a miss. I am not a Boomer. But thanks for playing. I am impressed with how well you demonstrated my second point with that mature, in...

It's high time now. We need Upgrade. We need Upgrade. How many years do you have left before you age out? When I see a post like this, I am left with two questions. 1. Is it about the money? 2. Is it about having 4 bars? One makes you a reasonable person but if you have many years left on the payro...

Might be more than half. There is usually an ulterior, unspoken motive for their votes and it frequently comes down to money or how they perceive they will monetarily benefit. One need only look at the comments on WJ and AC forums in the run-up to strikes. Do they care that hundreds of thousands wi...

Honestly, there's not point in projecting into the future with WJ. Maybe it'll grow like a weed. Maybe it'll shrink. What will happen for certain is, we'll get a new CEO and everything being done and planned now will be erased and replaced with the vision of the new CEO. All this has happened before...

Con: Larger income disparity .- American Dream. Work hard, get rewarded. Weird concept eh American environmental rule s.- ?? Higher healthcare costs to the individual .- Promote healthy, active lifestyles. Net i bet you pay more in Canada. or work hard to get a great benefits providing job. Worse s...

Meanwhile our par dollar destroyed manufacturing exports in Ontario. No oil boom could even come close to replacing that loss. Oh no! Canadians had purchasing power! :shock: This will not do! Bring back the 65¢ CAD immediately. It's the only possible way Ontario can compete! I'm certain that the ar...

I think WJ should ONLY hire AR pilots.

Just fully commit to an all 65+ workforce and domestic schedule.

You are certainly entitled to your opinion about what is, and what is not a pro or con, as this is a personal thing. I disagree with your assessment and find your logic flawed. So neither of us will be convincing the other our point is correct. My view is correct for me, and your view is correct for...

Just a little extra thought into all those tax numbers. I find it is a problem in Canada that when one talks about taxes that they only think of income taxes. There are also; sales taxes; property taxes; carbon taxes; gas taxes; payroll taxes; CPP; EI; (depending on which province you live in) taxes...

Got to the airlines earlier and yet the absurd COL negates all financial benefits of being able to do so. If you’re a 65 year old boomer who feels the need to hold things up for younger generations to progress in their careers you’re either beyond ignorantly selfish and/or you’re making other peopl...

So much anger. Perhaps you need to ask a physician (or therapist) if aviation is right for you.

Don't go to an airline that allows pilots over 65 to continue flying and cherry picking domestic flights thereby stagnating movement up the list. Get rid of that in CA3. Says the young and impatient who get to the airlines 10-15 years younger than their predecessors... Anyone want to take bets on t...

Never!

That winglet will still be sporting a "Flyswoop.com" advertisement for a website that doesn't exist for the life of that airplane. Oh yeah baby!

Good opportunity for someone to grab that web address for their own nefarious advertising interests.

After four decades of hearing managers talk about market value wages, they are now complaining when the market forces shifted in favour of the employee groups. Thanks to inflation, everyone but the executives have taken a real wage cut. We have a long way to go to get back to where we should be, and...

We did?! I didn't even notice that... hilarious.

I may have a time machine in the future but I am currently unaware of future me.

Get the Canadian ATPL back up and running if you haven't already done so, then I'd start sending resumes as soon as you want to move to Canada (since it sounds like you have the right to work here part of the puzzle in place). A quick google search of operators and their various pay scales should do...

The short answer is probably yes. Depending on how many hours you have it is very likely you could slide right into a 737 job. The long answer, which seat? Because it's very likely going to be the right seat at year one pay because that's how it works here. Some operaterators have quicker upgrades t...
