How many of those 100+ are PPC'd and line indoc'd?

Re: Canadian Airline Fun.

I think there's probably more opportunity than ever for start-up competition to make a dent. Porter seems to be making some moves in improving the customer experience and I hope they succeed in forcing the big guys to up their game . I think Porter has to be careful, it sounds like they weren't thi...

That chart isn't even remotely accurate.

Re: Airline Upgrades

Perhaps flying airliners in a well managed and monitored 705 operation isn't as difficult as we made it out to be. The years of need 5000 hours to command a Navajo, let alone a Beechcraft are bye bye. Just because it took Gen X and Gen Y took years to build up time and experience to be competitive f...

Re: Leaving current job I'm unhappy with for aviation

22 eh? Go find a US spouse, get your green card and make surgeon level pay. The tables below I found on Google do not factor for USD/CAD dollar, just salary. They do no account for 401K contributions (16%+ without a match requirement) and they are completely out of date from 2021. All the American m...

Re: What’s going on Sunwing?

Terribly sorry brother that she got scammed by these bums. And like Altiplano said, no offense intended towards the SWG crews, you do what you gotta do, but your operator is absolutely feeding it to your customers (I would say passengers, but it looks like Sunwing prefers customers over actual passe...

Re: What’s going on Sunwing?

First off - incredibly sorry you got burned by this experience. Second - why in the heck would you book Sunwing?! Third - they (Sunwing management) need an absolute headshake. This publicly blaming the gov for not allowing TFWs is just absolute bullshit. They don't even put in an effort to draw Cana...

Re: Flying to US with Nexus card only

Was 10-15 years ago but saw first hand what happens when the border agent asks for your passport in addition to your nexus card and you don’t have it. The person said they forgot their passport but had a nexus and photo of the passport. They were lectured for quite some time, threatened with immedi...

Re: New Hires

Oh ok , I guess I’ll throw my resume in the trash. Thanks for the update A medically fit pilot is a pilot, no matter the age. The only difference will be years of service you have left in you until retirement which also restricts how far you can get in the industry. You'll most likely never get to ...

Re: ALPA Petition

I find the older I get my willingness to shut down the company has diminished, I was willing and voted accordingly in the past, now I just want to coast to my retirement. I respect the sentiment of the ~20% that want to coast. But the rest of us have decades of career left, and also want to leave t...

Re: Salary Survey 2022

Well, that's a little egg on the recruiters face, at least you let them down softly. Though, you should be honest with them and just say my current salary package is X. I had a few recruiters reach out over the past year from various institutions and in every case the salary or conditions (or reput...

Re: Salary Survey 2022

The Airline in Canada found me on LinkedIn and contacted me probably because my profile came up in a search meeting all of their requirements. The reason I paid so much is tax is that the US first took $83000 US from my pay cheque which is $112000 Canadian then the Canadian government says I still ...
