If the vocal minority/silent majority principle applies here, the vote will pass.

It's convoluted and took me a bit to figure out how to get to it but try this: From the "Careers at Air Canada" page... scroll down until you find the FAQ. Click view FAQs. Under the header application, the first option "what happened to my profile", access your profile by clicking on the "here". Th...

I suggest you give yourself a hypothetical exercise. At what point would this have been a NO for you. At what point would you have stood up and said, I am worth more than this. If they offered no pay raised until 2029? If they asked for money back? At what point would you have said, regardless of w...

by now I should be enjoying either a Captain's pay or at least a great FO schedule After 1 YOS? Context: Wasn't considering joining Jazz (was looking for a corporate gig at the time) until a friend urged my to consider it in the fall 2017 because of the speed of movement in seniority at Jazz, citin...

GGN guys got pfo'd at Jazz. We worked hard at our interviews and got in. BOTL is a fair deal. If you're not happy to have a job after you've lost yours then go to swg or air Tran. TSC worked hard at his interview. Wore out TWO sets of kneepads! Friend of mine always make a point to mention that he ...

Ya know I wish some of you guys were on the negotiating committee.., I guess I'd get to see AC and Jazz management all curled up, crying in the fetal position because they just could not stand up to the almighty pilot group and had to give captain pay to everyone, bring back the DB pension, pay over...

YUL DH8 58 PS: If one advocates bleeding for the group, one must. be ready to bleed too. What I didn't mention above is that I am also hoping for a lift of the. equipment freeze for the Jan equip bid so that some of us could find a seat on another type before the GGN guys come over. Yeah I'm a drea...

Karma folks, what goes around comes around. I once was told: "Be careful whose toes you step on today, for they may be attached to the ass you have to kiss tomorrow." Wouldn't it be great if after spending 30 years flying for a company, you could make a side move and have most, if not all, your seni...

Thinking out loud.... What does this do to the equipment bid? do they start from scratch and let the entire company bid since it’s a pretty big expansion, or are we all frozen as per the ‘previous’ contract? - would like to explore getting off the Q out west for a new look on something that’s NOT 6...

What does this mean to us in the pool waiting for ground schools? Do we get bumped for ggn pilots coming in without going through the hiring process? Remember the GGN RJ's are going to be "phased" into Jazz by the end of 2019.....a long time to hire, train, transition GGN pilots into Jazz. I wouldn...

Quick question. Does jazz have a, minimum 200 hour flight requirement in past 12 months to get hired? I have lots of jet pic 5k, AAs. Been out for 5 years. Coming back to fly. The way I understand it, applicant's who don't have 200 hrs in the last 12 mo get flagged by HR and don't make it further t...

Sorry we really did steal the thread here. I'm going to finish my thoughts on the subject by saying this: Jazz is what you make of it. It is what it is, it doesn't pretend to be the greatest aviation job in the world and everybody knows the pay is sub par for FO's by a long shot. That all being sai...

I n that sense, it does not require a lot of physical effort. But because of those time I had to hoist passengers onto a ship in heavy seas, because of that flight in a storm over the North Sea where I didn't know how the hell I would land the aircraft, because of those xwind landings from breaking...

I wonder what that says about the difficulty of flying an airplane? Of all the kinds of work I ever did flying was by far the easiest way to make money. A good example is comparing the work involved in driving a big tractor trailer for eight hours on busy highways to flying a modern airplane on a e...

What's your tolerance for being a passenger with a low time Captain and a lower time FO in this, the easiest profession, in existence?

There is a way to find out how much experience a crew has before getting in the airplane?

Where do I find this information?

500.

Didn't you mean: 500?

People say Fighters are hard on family. So are the C-17, AAR Airbus, J-Herc, Maritime Helo, Tac Hel, etc. Like anything else in life, each has its own set of positives and negatives. True. I should have specified most military flying is demanding on family. Instructing and SAR would be the most fam...

Ah got ya. The RAF and RN are a bit more ageist about it then I guess, last time I checked (about 10 years ago) the top age limit to start your training to be a Pilot in the RAF was 21. I'm in my 30's now so maybe the RCAF would let me do some part time F18 flying ;) Being in your 30's is far from ...

Is there not an age limit on Pilots in the Canadian Air Force? There is for the RAF and RN. Well yeah there is...55 is the retirement age and that can be extended to 60 but that being said, rejecting an applicant solely based on age has been deemed discriminatory. 58 PS.: If you read between the li...

Too old can NOT be the reason they won't recruit you. It would be discrimination. They have to score your application against the available positions and other applicants, so not saying that they won't reject yours but the official reason will not be age.

I've received my hiring pool email today. I am eager to begin at Jazz! Next year probably

Congrats!! Now it's just a matter of getting that GS date

Sucks to wait but know it's coming!!

Well, I'm assuming that if Jazz wages are too low, it's because before you came to Jazz, you were in a higher paying job that supported your family plans to have kids. Another option would be to go on LOA. Regardless of the times, the CA stipulates that every request should be given consideration an...

Thanks. i appreciate the quick response. So my curiosity is, what is the incentive to stay after Jazz spends the money training you? Not ruining your reputation is one incentive... the air industry is a small world :) 58 Ha, ha, If that was true, half the kids at Jazz would already have "ruined rep...

If it helps anyone, in my case, money was not the deciding factor. I could have gone to any regional but Jazz had the best package of them all. Even if money was an issue, it's not like we're talking about 10-15K difference at the end of the year so the other conditions would still override pay.... ...
