Are you referring to Encore as a pilot puppy mill?

Oh shit. Gareth was a friend of ours from Harbour Air. A super nice, very mellow, cautious, experienced guy. Terrible news. RIP brother.

They updated the article 7 hours ago. Original article that was linked this morning did not specify the type.

Regardless, very tragic, very sad, condolences to everyone affected.

The article didn't mention anything about the type of aircraft. SHS flies Caravans as well.

Condolences to the families, friends and co-workers affected. Very sad.

What do you have in for pilot and FA pay?

At Westjet and Encore, as long as it doesn't get in the way of your rest periods or CARS flight duty limitations, you are welcome to fly floats, drop meat bombs, instruct, tow gliders, whatever.

As far as airline commuting goes, it doesn't get any easier than commuting from YYJ to YVR.

There's not much difference between your preference #2 and working for a major player. I work 16 days a month, on a regular 4 on, 3 off schedule, and on most day 4's, I'm usually home in the early afternoon, so I'm pretty much home 50% of the month. Not to mention all the perks (big bucks, lifetime ...

Unsubstantiated rumours for 2018 include: AC hiring 30 a month indefinitely Westjet will begin training for the 787, and need to fill 200 seats Minimum 50% flow to Westjet from Encore would mean 100 OTS to Westjet mainline Encore to continue minimum one class of 12 per month Wasaya and Pasco to cont...

The "attack on those that can least afford it" was directed at the country's 2 million retail workers and fast food restaurant workers who all predominantly work for minimum wage, and who would be forced to consider their half price Big Mac's and half price Christmas sweaters as taxable benefits, an...

You have a gift. Thank you for sharing!

RIP. What a terrible thing for your parents and loved ones to have to witness.

The costs of commuting extend beyond the airfare, and even further beyond the "financial". You'll need a crash pad, or plan on paying for hotel rooms. Most commuters have lounge cards, but not all airports have lounges. Rental cars are sometimes involved depending on your situation. But the real hid...

DEFINITION of 'Cost Per Available Seat Mile - CASM' A common unit of measurement used to compare the efficiency of various airlines. It is obtained by dividing the operating costs of an airline by available seat miles (ASM). Generally, the lower the CASM, the more profitable and efficient the airline.

True. But if you get fired from Encore, you lose your job at a tier 1 airline.

Not sure why we're so secretive about these pay rates Might have something to do with the contracts we sign that prohibit us from disclosing contractual information about the pay at the companies we work for. It's not like you're giving up the colonel's secret recipe, but do you really want to risk...

How long has Encore been saying the goal is 100%? You might see 100% flow if WJ is only hiring enough to cover off retirements, hint not a lot of those in the near future, imho Encore has been saying the goal is 100% flow since it's inception. And I think the fact that they maintained flow in 2016 ...

If you can afford it, take the time off and spend those precious years with your wife and kids. Posters worrying about a couple years of seniority over the course of a 30+ year career obviously don't have families of their own. With your time, you won't have any issues picking up where you left off.
