Call out is 24 hour so you can day drink

If they actually have 3 pilots per airplane, there should be a schedule that avoids the old ways of 'retro' days off. And stop trying to compare how Air Canada does it. It's apples and oranges. I don’t think 3 pilots is enough for that. My understanding is that the 3rd pilot will be a pilot in the ...

I thought you get 8 GDO the other 4 on reserve are grey?

Schedule is 24/7 reserve, if you don’t get called it’s a day off. I dont believe that's even legal these days. You cant call it a 'day off' retroactively, it's only a day off if you know in advance. Well that’s what Air Canada does. If you don’t get called on reserve that’s considered a day off and...

Did you ever get any info on Anderson Air? Yeah it seems really good. Compensation depends on experience, what you can negotiate, and what type of plane you’re going on. First year FO will probably be around 100K. Schedule is 24/7 reserve, if you don’t get called it’s a day off. On average they wor...

It wasn’t AC, it was another flaky HR department lol. It was definitely very flaky because I’ve sent alot of emails to them during the recruiting process that never got answered. To answer the other guys question, it was the vibe and connection that I experienced with the pilot conducting the interv...

I saw it’s going on next month in Richmond BC, does it make sense to go to this expo as someone trying to get into the industry or is it more for people trying to climb the totem pole? https://events.annexbusinessmedia.com/event/careers-in-aviation-expo-richmond/ If you’re just getting into the ind...

I recently got PFO’d from a 705, the interview went really well, then they asked for my documents and logbook. I didn’t hear from them for 2 weeks then they told me it was a no. I’m just trying to examine why this happened and I’m looking at all the possible options. I bid for reserve at my current...

I think it’ll be new hiring because all the news articles are referring to this as growth rather than replacements. The big question for me is when will the hiring start?

Also is it true that pilots have to pay for parking?

Is there many single day pairings out of YVR?
Also how long do the upgrades take from there?

Thanks for the reply. Is Porter still planning on hiring a lot? Or is the wave almost over Hiring every month for the foreseeable future. Will be between 20-30 a month between both fleets till we hit around 1200 pilot. Currently sitting at about 850 Thanks for the reply. The recruitment page of the...

Im thinking of going to Porter on the E2. Some questions: 1. How long approximately to hold YVR 2. How is the commute from YVR? 3. What are the pairings like? A lot of single days or multi days? My intention is to do single day pairings 4. Days worked per month? 5. Pension? Thanks 1) the most junio...

Looking at the more recent takeflight group pilot job postings... Anyone have the details on the scheduling, pay, quality of life across the different aircraft? Infuriating companies do not include this sort of basic info in their job postings... 24/7 reserve. Call out is 24 hours. So a day off is ...

Thanks for the replies!

When you do get a block what would that look like?
Average number of days off?
Is it reasonable to expect that if I ask for it I could only do single days or 2 days?

Would it be reasonable for a junior reserve holder to get weekends off? How many days per month do you have off when on reserve? Just the 12 I’m guessing? Would it be possible for somebody who is senior on reserve to get a short block of days? For example; at some airlines you only need to do 2 day...

You bid monthly for your days off and they are awarded by seniority. You often get what you ask for as long as it’s not unreasonable. Reserve guys are usually scheduled 16 to 18 days per month Long call is awarded to the 25% most senior pilots holding reserve. You get assigned more on long call tha...

What does reserve at WestJet look like? For example are you able to pick your days off pretty good? Is there a minimum number if days you need to be in reserve at a given time? How is long call awarded? And do you get called less than regular reserve? You bid monthly for your days off and they are ...

Good Day fellow Aviators,

I have a couple questions about Westjet as im just toying with my career options:
1. How often do you get called on reserve on average?
2. What would a full pension look like?
3. Current YYC upgrade times 737 and 787.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

Hey Matt, Thank you for the quick reply. I have a question regarding the types of candidates that would be interested in a career at Air Sprint. It seems as though you will be away from home more than you will at any airline in Canada, while the compensation remains lower. Why would somebody choose...

Can anybody give some information on the Citation side of things.
-What the schedule is like on the citation out of YVR
-What the current upgrade times are on the citation
Thank you:)
