You better get into the unemployment line, because that's going to be your lane for a while me thinks.

what an ignorant thing to say. Are you happy pilots may be laid off?

These are the people so many are willing to sacrifice the elderly for. Just so things can get back to normal faster.

Sheesh. We are doomed. Not because of Covid though

It's a tough choice - catch 22 was said - and just to put out the contrarian idea... People will die either way, and not just from the disease. With the shutdown of the economy families go bankrupt, people end up on the street, kids lose their futures... so some already health marginalized people c...

I for one enjoy a back and forth troll fest from time to time. This isn’t that time. Lots of pilots are going to feel some real hurt. Of course they are afraid. I’m afraid. We all should be. Let’s hope for the best. If the deal goes through it’ll be a good thing that a bunch of pilots didn’t lose th...

Says some Maple PFO.

Moving on.

The more I hear of the selfish entitlement from and handful of AC pilots, the more I look forward to this deal as the salty tears will be delicious. Entitlement? Entitled...to their own jobs... There isn’t a worse trait in a pilot than one who can’t admit when they are wrong, or apologize when they...

Wow. Anti advocates for himself and he’s an asshole?? Sorry. Maybe the TS guys need a long look in the mirror. Not one time on this website has a single TS pilot ever shown a shred of gratitude that this deal may indeed save their job. Not a single time. Love to point fingers though at how AC pilots...

A 330 captain position at Transat is what, 8-10years?

6 years. Believe me it’s more challenging to fly a B737 than an A330...

That has nothing to do with anything.

Absolutely. Some of these TS remarks are pretty aggravating. Best thing is you won’t have to “endure” working for AC.

Good luck

No kidding. Lol. I must be super lucky.

dispatch does the hard part of the job with wx and flight planning, and ordering fuel... Is that the hard part of the job? Get real! What is the hardest part then according to you? If the flight planning is done properly, most scenarios are covered and decision making difficulties are greatly reduc...

Sims are also available for practice sessions if you are so inclined. Unlimited. Space available of course.

DaveP, The number of Encore pilots moving to AC in the last few months has everything to do with AC’s hiring plan and does not represent the wish or yearning of Encore pilots to leave for AC. The numbers of applications at AC from Encore is staggering in regards to the number of pilots at Encore. B...

They are looking for airline and overseas experienced guys to fill widebody right seats. If the starting pay was increased, they would get dozens of corporate jet guys with lots of overseas experience. And those that stayed in corporate would have the benefit of higher pay due to the “pilot shortag...

A Westjet pilot recently told me he was bored to death flying the airlines. Bored = Safe. I love being bored at work. I left all the “excitement” at my last gig. Thank god. When my families on board I want the crew bored out their mind with all the levels of safety. Want to have fun at work? Stay i...

ML will NEVER have socialized bidding. No need to worry. When the provision for maximum monthly work days on the NB fleet was added (14/15/16), did it not have the effect of partially socializing pilot scheduling by forcing the sharing of efficient pairings with more junior pilots? yes. It's the ex...

FL-280 it seems to me that your only interest here lies in a pissing match rather than a discussion of the issues. I bid you a good day sir. To my Transat colleagues, don't feed the troll. Autrement dit ne vous obstinez pas avec un enfant. Nous avons beaucoup de points a discuter. BOTL n'est pas un...
