Airlines would cease to operate if they dope tested everyone and fired those who tested positive.

They also have a tendency to land airplanes upside down. Ooopsies

I wasn’t referring to female pilots.

I don’t care for Doug Ford much. Especially how he handled the scamdemic or his drama queen TDS episodes. He’s a liberal in a blue suit but he’s the least of all evils when you compare him to the commie NDP or the liberal ladies….Bonnie Crosbie or Kathleen Wynne?

If they still get applicants willing to play “mystery base” on day 1 of groundschool then it will continue status quo. Most new hires are still young low experience candidates who tend to not be tied down with mortgages and families which is also the problem since Jazz needs experience for the left ...

At Jazz it’s not so bad since there’s a limited number of positions overall and no jet flying for them in the east.

It will get interesting if there’s layoffs with the fuel price shitshow. Will a boomer retire or let a new hire get laid off? I think I know the answer to that.

Pretty sad, 2 of my colleagues bodies haven’t even been returned to their families yet and the perpetual butt-hurt language politics is the top story now.

I can’t recall anyone going to Porter in a very long time. Those that wanted to leave have left.

This is the first time this website has worked for me in several days.

210k. Jazz top pay scale, training dept. 1 or 2 days overtime for the whole year. 20k less than the previous year since I gave up the overtime but much happier!

I can’t imagine being told to groom the aircraft between flights. It’s a minimum wage job for simpletons, not airline pilots.

Jazz has no flying in YHZ anymore and we don’t fly to YQT except on rare occasions. I doubt it would attract any Porter talent.

It’s also best to drive an EV to the interview and have a Pepsi in the cup holder to show you are a true Quebecois. Bonus points if you’re pants are extra tight.

I have been jumping through hoops since June 2025. When i questioned what's going on with my medical i received a registered letter 2 weeks later. First letter was 7 items. I am now at 12 items. Last was submitted over 2 weeks ago. Still no word. My Doctor has spoke to them at least 3 times. She ca...

Unfortunately it's obvious that the current federal government has no interest in improving the lives of its citizens. This can be seen in the rapid decline of every aspect of life over the past decade. Can someone actually tell me what has improved in Canada during this period? I honestly can't th...

No one I know is participating in the gun confiscation program. Plus if the US invaded us I wouldn’t raise a finger in resistance anyway.

Meet the new boss, same as the old boss. It’s in a song by The Who.

It is Transport Canada after all. They likely won’t even notice the email. I’ve tried to contact them via email several times and never got a response.

Jazz only hired 62 pilots in 2025 so things have been really slow for the new kids getting off reserve or getting a base transfer.

Going to be a rough year for a lot of companies. The economy is getting a lot worse than they’re letting on to.

This site is frequently down so a lot of posters have probably given up on it. Last 2 days it wouldn’t work for me.

If one factors all the $$$ spent and extra hours(days) away from home commuting, not to mention stress, is it really worth its? The pay difference between them can’t be much.

The Jazz YHZ pilot base closed over 15 years ago. The flight attendant base is closing in a few weeks.

Lots of diversity on the 401 lately. Nearly every truck crash is a flip flop driver with questionable credentials and experience. I hope aviation doesn’t go the route of trucking.

I hope he goes to Dallas or Atlanta this winter! I wouldn’t mind a flow through to Delta or one of the other majors. Or maybe he will have a staycation and cook a nice big turkey at the ALPA office with those fancy new appliances and watch Christmas Vacation and Bad Santa on that big screen TV.
