Re: Smaller Westjet vs Pay Pilots
I am at encore and WILL NOT be crossing the picket line. One airline, one group of pilots. Same uniform, same guests, same colour paint. We all need a good deal.

Re: Hiring after DECEMBER
We need $10,000 on each side just to afford to get by. We’ll see what next year brings but I’m not optimistic with the new flair FO numbers. In the US the race to the top is on, meanwhile here we’re still racing to the bottom. It’s a competition to see who can pay the least. WJ is definitely making...

Re: Hiring after DECEMBER
Strategy to make the most leave, and put the rest on LOA while flow them, once the staffing because unsustainable from the company point of view, and revert back to point-to-point flying, hence eating the same plate as Flair. Congrats to all that will flow very soon instead of in 5 years! I wouldn’...

Re: Hiring after DECEMBER
Anyone have any idea how the cost of living negotiations are going? Right now the interest rate increase driven my mortgage higher to the point where I am no longer eligible to hold the renewal. You’d think at minimum we would get an inflationary raise to reflect the mad cost of living. Raising per ...

Re: Hours of Averaging
No sorry it does take away over time…. Companies send employee home early on some days to bleed off your over time from your bank. The net result means you lose all of your over time before it due to be paid. It’s designed so the company doesn’t have to pay out but you still have to work long hard d...

Re: Hours of Averaging
This is how they take away all of your over time. Your long hard hours are taken away and you work many days for free. Total scam.

Re: Encore interview request
What a difference a day makes. Today's announcement has been a real shot in the back. Can I ask what changed how you feel in a day? The announcement of moving more Qs to the west? Pretty sure he's Encore YYZ base which from how I took the article is going bye bye. Encore will be moved west. I fail ...

Re: Encore interview request
Some people are Jazz/AC heads who think everyone else is beneath them. Some are ex-Encore pilots who have a legitimate reason to dislike baby-blue. Some are jealous that they were PFO'd. Your experience with Encore may vary, but there are many of us who are pretty happy where we are right now, even...

Re: Encore interview request
Heyyyy encore sure beats moving up north.
With everyone leaving for AC, flow might be a lot quicker than expected for todays hires, if they can staff planes of course hahah.

Re: Encore interview request
No company is going to waste their time interviewing you unless they want to hire you. Show up prepared and give an honest presentation of who you are and why you want to work there. Getting an invite to the interview is huge, what happens next is largely on you. Best of luck. Thanks! It went well ...

Re: So you want to be a flying instructor
The majority of the flight instructors I know are far more knowledgeable than any of these 703/704 guys they just don’t have the experience to back it up yet.. that comes with time and experience flying two crew. There’s nothing wrong with a 1000 hour instructor
