Might have changed since I worked there but you had to have your own Canada/US Phone plan, bring your own iPad and pay for your own Foreflight premium subscription (could later claim these items on your taxes as tools of the trade). Pay was $18/hr which isn't great, but you could make more money of...

Well exactly.

Yes, in general I would say that would be one of (if not, THE) most important factors on determining quality of life in a country. I would ask you for your other factors... I would say that freedom would be ahead of that perhaps, but we can see that canada isn't winning in that department and all o...

Not sure where you are getting your info from Bede, but Canada ranks DEAD last in real GDP growth per capita of the 38 richest nations in the world for the last decade. Not only are we not as good as the US, we are not as good as ANY OTHER advanced country from an economic standpoint as well as oth...

I know I'm not bilingual, but maybe you didn’t understand my message? I’m looking for information about schools in Canada ! Not about European cadets, who would never pay 15,000 euros. I don’t know where you got that from, but anyway... Also, I’m not coming to Canada just to become a pilot. I’m gen...

Looks like the RAT is out suggesting complete loss of electrical (read engine) power.

Considering the lack of progression to left seat at WJ , your post gusts into gas lighting. Like I said: First off, given upgrade times, assuming an AC FO upgrades as quick as they can, an AC pilot will make much more over the course of their career than a WJ pilot. Massive overlook of FO pay rates...

While TC acknowledged to us that this structure was indeed legal and in accordance with CAR's, they were not happy with the situation and wanted to stop us moving forward with this plan. They claimed the pilots who had flown by hourly contract in the past for FLA, and knew the airplanes well, were ...

So please answer how WJ is even close to AC? I have not done a thorough costing comparing these latest contracts, but did do a WJ CA1 vs ACPA contract comparison. I can give you a rough outline though. AC Top 737 CA: $311.89/hr * 900 hrs/yr guarantee = $280,701 WJ Top 737 CA: $297.46/hr * 930 hrs/y...

Bede, When you say "Contract value between AC and WJ is a toss up"...what exactly do you mean by this? Good question. First off, given upgrade times, assuming an AC FO assumes as quick as they can, an AC pilot will make much more over the course of their career than a WJ pilot. I'd argue though tha...

Bede, It is not opinion that WJ has the lowest paid 737 pilots in North America. That is merely fact. You're deflecting. We were discussing premium pay multiples and claimed that all airlines other than WJ start at 2x. That's obviously not true. Now onto this assertion, if you said WJ has lower com...

Does WJ seriously only pay 1.5 and not double for OT? Sort of. Like Alaska, American, Breeze, Frontier, Hawaiian, JetBlue, Southwest, Sun Country and United, the starting Open Time rate is 1.5x. However, like Alaska, American, Sun Country and United, the company often puts out Open Time at 2x. JBI....

Uhh, yeah. Why do you think I pointed it out?

Imagine bragging about your T4 and then having to fly more than what is legal in any 1st world country. You obviously don't understand the credit system. You're not flying that many hours- you're getting that credit. That's how the US carriers earn so much more. The pay rates are only part of the e...

Yes it's allowed, and beyond that, I think it's a good idea.

I suggest that you go back to trucking.

I don't need to provide you with links, go search on your own, and read up on the 1948 Federal Right to Work legislation (and thanks to the supremacy clause in the US, it allows any employer nationwide, State or Federal, freedom from the union). Search a DFR (Duty of Fair Representation) complaint....

One was CP/CN rail. The only reason the union pursue a claim is because they have being ordered to because, quote "when the union lay in the same bed as the employer, the union is no longer a union and should not act as one", as they straight out, blatantly, refuse to file ANY grievance. Do you hav...

Can you show us some examples?

You think you deserved another job at a company you quit from? It's literally the same thing as breaking up with your partner because you found someone better than them, and then realizing later on that it wasn't what you thought it'd be and come crawling back asking for forgiveness and trying to c...

Last I heard was $550/day in NWO.

That amphib looks really cool.

However, I don't see a market for it. (Having said that, I don't see a market for pretty much any airplane. Most new developments never recoupe their R&D costs.)

I've already flown with some captains who have told me that if their FO is flying around with a CPL, then they will not allow them to fly under various circumstances... Night, crosswinds, busy airports, short runways, etc. Probably a tad extreme, yes. What happens if the CPL pilot is sharper than t...

Ahuh. Whatever. In the end it’s on the company to prove one wasn’t actually sick. Prove one wasn’t actually feeling fit to fly. Sorry but precedent is pretty much ironclad in protecting employees who call in sick and especially pilots in particular.. your comment comes off as management fear monger...
