Thanks for the info, and thanks for taking the effort to post all the sites, I will check them out and encourage others to do so as well.

Glad no one was hurt.

In one article I read a passenger got a text from Flair something like "How was the flight?". They were going to respond it would be nice to get dropped off at the terminal next time They also said they would travel with Flair again in the future.

No big deal

This company always seems to be looking for pilots. Expansion or high turnover?

A great idea, great employers will receive well deserved positive reviews.

You made me laugh there Dougj

So how would this work? Can you only leave comments on those sites once you leave the job?

And that's just including complaints twenty years in the future.

The ones that get the "best managed company" awards.

Yeah, yawn, only about 800 people in Canada have had their lives totally messed up by being mandated to take the vaccine.... You are right, let's not talk about this maybe it will go away.

Bryskee 11,

Good for you for being alcohol free.

Yeah Westjet, I want my money back. They have gone from a respectable Airline to “scammers” in my mind.

And you are Piston Pounder, I imagine there is more than one Piston Pounder where you live too....right?

I just watched a video of a man reconditioning a lead acid battery out on a busy street somewhere in India. My point? We are so out of touch with the reality most in this world face... So thankfull I can even consider complaining about anything other than food shelter and clean water.

My guess is the FO was the one flying and a highly experienced training Captain was the PM on the first attempt. The Captain took over for the next attempt... .

Let's hope we can get the public flying again in Canada soon! No matter what political party is in power, they will have their challenges, it won't just be fixed with a change in party. The biggest challenge they all face seems to be keeping honest. 16 dollar Orange juice, yeah I remember that. Alwa...

How do you save an industry that no longer has the demand it once had?

Not using a checklist probably the real reason for these deaths. Before takeoff, Fuel....on fullest tank. Check. Who uses a checklist in a Beaver? We all should be. I'm lucky to be here after making the same mistake, took off on an empty tank I was using just for the taxi and then forgot to switch b...

I've been without work, what kept me going was a deep belief things would turn around, and over time they did. Hopefully this event will help us all realize we can live more simple lives. It will show us we don't need to travel as much, the joy of spending more time at home with loved ones. Many wil...

So pilots were told at the mainline interview they would have mainline seniority if they took a captain spot at wje and that promise was broken? Who wouldn't be upset about that? That is a huge loss! That isn't the same as "you'll be a captain in 3 years". Telling someone in those shoes that it will...

I agree the article reads like an advertisement...

"top seaplane airline"
"I'll be the first guy to fly one"

Entertainment Tonight

Pelmet, this thread was a good read. I forgot about my Ichiban noodles on the stove while reading it though... Damn it! The advice about taking off your left shoe and then simply slipping it back on made me laugh. Brilliant! So how did it all turn out with you and Rockie three years later - are you ...

Ha ha, that about sums it up. I hear yeah

No, not everyone wants to work at Air Canada. Hard to believe eh? I wouldn't mind the pay cheque and benefits of the wide body captains but the type of flying isn't for a lot of us. I have a good book at home about a bush pilot that ended up going into the airlines in his 40s and became Captain on t...

Believe it or not, yes, you can have a loyal group of unionized pilots that want the best for the Company. That is what a good contract is all about. That is why there will be an agreement reached that satisfies both sides. It makes the most sense over the long term.

Who is this Weed pro John guy? Reading this thread as one who has no connection to WestJet my first impression is to say I feel lucky I can live life without being forced to fly with a pilot who is so distracted. Perhaps he is a good person and he is a pleasure to be around? How do I really know? It...
