Re: US Airlines Hiring Canadians

A difference between Canadian Union ALPA or ACPA. The US ALPA are lobbying directly the government. The Canadian union are not.
So if ALPA US strongly lobby to not make Canadian Pilot come, then it will weight in the balance.

Re: US Airlines Hiring Canadians

Hi, Yes I think there would be plenty of reason to strike. 1) We actually have no idea what would be the consequences because the last strike in Canadian aviation was in 1765. why would the company would negociate anything if they do not have anything to lose?

This : :smt040 ACA22A09-E1A9-4E98-9A89-5B8EB2B22323.jpeg Hey man, 14 hours a day, and 20 days per month. That's $65000/year or so! Pretty good for someone who doesn't know how to navigate, doesn't really know how the machine works, barely knows how to fly, and didn't necessarily graduate from anyth...

Re: Hornet is out as option for Canada's replacement

Yes, apparently that is what Lockheed is saying and plan to do. For now, the US air force is complaining about those cost and told Lockheed that they will not order above 1800 f35 instead of 2400 if Lockheed will not reduce the cost. https://www.defensenews.com/air/2021/07/07/watchdog-group-finds-f-...

Re: Hornet is out as option for Canada's replacement

First flight of the F 35 was 2006. 15 years later it is still not fully mission capable with over 100 significant defects, has an average serviceability rate of less than 60 % and cost USD 45,000/hr to fly, almost 3 times the cost of an F18. Sounds prefect for the RCAF :roll: About those 100 signif...

Re: So you want to be a flying instructor

100% being a flight instructor has its pros of being stationed close to civilization. You get your 1000-1200 hours in 3 years. Then you can choose to go up North and get some hard IFR experience. -Captain Kirk That's just it. If your goal is to fly for an airline ASAP, being a flight instructor is ...

Re: Hmmmmmm

As always, there's plenty of other work out there if you don't like it. Heck, live on the dole the rest of your life, that's a real moneymaker :roll: At least we can see than the majority of pilots agree that wages in Canada are low. And for the one who are saying that we are a bunch of whiners. It ...
