I'm with PJ. Don't take it wrong, I never like to see guys laid off. But what has been happening in the oils sands was not sustainable even at high oil prices. Poor governance tilted everything in our economy toward a boom never ending at all cost and now it's been pissed away... The economy will ad...

I have to question your assertion that ACPA is indifferent or was dragged into this - especially after reading your MEC's glowing assessment of the Pilot Mobility Agreement. Your MEC paints it as nothing but a win-win for your group and for your company. From a Jazz pilot's perspective the PMA at l...

This doesn't affect me, but I hate to see guys that have been hanging in there passed over because some deal signed between a bunch of suits. Some of those suits are pilot suits. While ALPA has NOT been involved in negotiating the PMA with Air Canada and/or Jazz, ACPA has been, and is involved in t...

Heard from a management type last week, maybe 2 more courses in 2015. New 2015 seniority list is out too... 40 whole numbers... Seems to match that forecast for 2 courses. AC is bringing on 10 321's this spring and not losing the embraers until the fall. I thought we were getting 5 321s? Or was it 5...

Altiplano people like you make me laugh. Bwahaaaa.... Better show up with some a plan, some skills and some balls. What do you think princess? It's fun and games? "Let's hold hands and brief the pax." Is it the company's fault that plane was off the end? Nah, that's some jackass who couldn't put it...

4 months 4 months in and a big pay bump... Doubled? By 8 months in you'll be ahead of the guys money-wise, who will ride in the right seat for years at the other operators... By 2 years your bond will be up, 1500 hours MPIC, including +12500 PIC, airline seat is in sight... Heck you could go direct...

How long did it take?

find out that you are in way over your head

Didn't get the upgrade, eh?

refused to expose myself to conditions beyond my experience and comfort level. That's it... ^ ^ ^ ^ was this was your buddies' excursion PR27? CADORS Number:2014C0124 YQR, 1/4 sm, FZFG, VV002, 5kt tailwiind, rfi .5, touchdown midway point rwy13? Tough day. Might have done better if he didn't land w...

Curious where your buddy was off the end and got fired? What were the conditions? Carson goes mostly into some long runways... He must have really pooched it. Again it's a shatty job. So is CMA and Pasco and Bearskin and Perimeter and Georgian and the rest... They all are. Is one marginally better t...

Yeah, if you can't stand up for yourself and say "no", you can kill yourself.

Scabby operators have been pushing pilots since long ago. Stick up for yourself, be a "Captain".

Bwahaaaa.... Better show up with some a plan, some skills and some balls. What do you think princess? It's fun and games? "Let's hold hands and brief the pax."

Yeah - the fee was for the Aviation Safety Letter and AIP updates.

I haven't paid it in years, and as I always seem to owe taxes they can't take it off my tax return. Heck, they've spent so much on postage at this point I think they may be in the red trying to collect even if I did pay it. Feck 'em.

I've been slaving my guts out for 4 years on a piece of shit turbo prop 4 whole years? Jeezus... Life is tough... :roll: Seriously - everyone wants to get to AC yesterday - I disagree with Jazz guys getting any better shot than the next guy and this reserved seniority # thing isn't going to fly - b...

Company can hire who they want. But the union controls the list and it says BOTL for new hires...

Don't think anyone cares where you came from, Jazz or otherwise... when you get here you're here.

Write your own letter and have a notary sign it?

Someone mentioned 777, so I assumed it was a triple... Similar decision making process on a 767 nonetheless... Gyv, not sure if that was directed at me but... I Didn't get my ire raised, just trying to put myself in those shoes and what they were thinking... Turn back, YFB is in your pocket and if t...

easy bud, I'm not criticizing the AC crew. Just the notion that landing in YFB in the winter constitutes an emergency for a 777. I'm not sure why your drawing parallels between ETOPS and electrical smoke but anyways enjoy the new year. Maybe emergency was a little harsh, but not by much. Middle of ...

But they didn't have smoke onboard. Wasn't any mention of smoke. Doesn't sound like any indications of a problem at all beyond a faint electrical scent somewhere. Doesn't sound like an immediate threat at all. There was an experienced crew on board capable to assess and response adequately, judging ...
