Re: Pilots Support Retirement

JayDee Of course they would agree to come back, as what was probably advised to them by their council. Do you think that after all of the efforts to get the right to work past 60, they would walk away when they didn't like what was being offered. NOOOOO!! Then it would be completely obvious that the...

Re: Flt Deck Cleanliness

As an RP, I find it disgusting to come back after break to find food trays stacked on the jumpseat. Salad dressing, mystery sauce and everything else spilled onto the fabric where I am now suppossed to sit. Put the trays on the floor, or better yet, ring the girls to come up and get them. RP's are p...

Re: to new ac pilots

I showed up to my interview with a recommendation letter from my Chief Pilot and the VP of flight Ops. Went in and told them upfront about the interview. I figured that I didn't want them getting any surprises. If your current employer is at all with the times, they are probably expecting to you to ...

St. Maarten

Just curious if any WJ'ers have any info on flights to St. Maarten. My inlaws have booked a trip in January and the airline code is West Jet. This flight originates out of Hamilton. I didn't realize West Jet flew to St. Maarten or is this a new flight?

As I understand it yes. You are asked what equipment you fly when you book the appointment for your exam. AOM questions will obviously be aircraft specific. The EMJ guys have there own forum which I would not have access too and I know alot of AC guys frequent this site. Just looking for a little he...

Keep in mind that even if the hiring board decides you are going to be hired, you are put into a pool. If you are ranked in the lower end of the pool it could take months before you work yourself high enough to get the call. You can also work the other way and get pushed out of the pool by candidate...

For example, bidding YYZ R/P on the subsequent bid means that you would only be working about 8 days a month (2 4-day pairings). You are assuming a 340 or 777 RP. I am on the 767 and have about 18 guys behind me. I am consistently getting 16 days a month. The '67 does more deadheads and at only hal...

Call Air Georgian/ Georgian Express. You should be a prime candidate for the C208. Spend a season flying cargo and your multi-time should help your transition onto the B1900.


Gideon Van der Nest is the CP at GGN. Contact him.

Good luck.
