They will NEVER pay a crew half duty for a split. 7ish credit hours vs 4? And then they will have crew members holding full reserve blocks again, in a "global pilot shortage" no less. Remember: crew members on reserve actually LOSE credit hours when they get called in to work a split. Unless collect...

Particularly striked by the encore best route to air canada notion. Naive as I am, finally understood that taking encore guys accomplishes two things; it crews open seats, and weakens the competition..............two birds with one stone so to speak. Nasty world out there, no wonder I never made it...

If you say so

Does anyone remember when the Coalition of Canadian Airlines came to be? I still can't believe they were able to organize themselves. I've worked for two companies on part of this "coalition" with entirely different scopes. I don't understand how the likes of Porter and Georgian can lump themselves ...

Do NOT question CWE. He has been flying for over 60 years, without an accident on record. He learned how to fly an airbus IN THE FACTORY. He worked for a major movie studio and was paid very well for it. He also holds an autogyro licence AND flew airshows in Europe. I don't know him, but I know this...

I am very disappointed to have one of my former DFO's opposing the proposed regulation changes. He would always remind the line pilots that he was there with us, "flying the line" and that he understood the challenges we faced. Shame on these management "pilots" for selling out on safety, to pad the...

Thanks for the CARs link, but he wasn't hired as CP :roll: I think its more this job: (2) Qualifications and Responsibilities of Managerial Personnel (a) Operations Manager (i) Qualifications (A) holds or has held the appropriate licence and ratings for which a pilot-in-command is required to hold f...

The topic and original post was a cryptic hint at Porters former VP of flight ops (who also used to work for bbd on the q400) going to Sunwing. I don't think they meant Sunwing was starting a q400 run. Can anyone confirm the rumour that said VP was not approved by TC for the role of DFO, as per lac...

Umm...I didn't ask a yes/ no question.

Do you think that OTS is done?

Does anyone have insight on how Mainline OTS hiring will be affected with ALPA being on the property?

I heard it from a friend who heard it from a friend who heard it from another that there were around 300 OTS candidates offered the 'good' e-mail. About 1/5th of those have been offered a video interview. This info isn't verified so take it (on the run, baby!) for what's it worth. I heard the same ...

It's averaging around the 2 to 2.5 yr mark at the YTZ base at the moment.

sure about that?

It all comes down to personal preference, but Jazz gets the edge in my opinion. Jazz gets the edge on long term outlook in my opinion, though neither would be a bad place to be. I'd be happy if either one would hire people with BE20 flight time. I can only speak for one company, but one of them is ...

Couldn't believe this. There I was on a gorgeous day up in the flight levels, not a cloud in sight, when a flight checks in with ATC not far from my position and requests a block of altitudes. Now, bear in mind that this airline checking in exclusively flies a type that's well known for its docile ...
