:o Ah yes, the race to the bottom accelerates! Thank you flair. I did a peruse of the comments section ... “ AC/ WJ have abandoned us and don’t care” .... WTF. If this is the general opinion out there we’re f’d. ( except flair) Oh! Here’s another “ bring on the cheep flights”, “Faster! Cheaper = fee...

I thought it was the teal team that drank the Kool-Aid. Ohhhhhh-YEAH!

You thought wrong, the teal kool-aid dried up many years ago.

I cannot help but think that this is a party that believes SWG is cash strapped. Even though Sunwing just got a $375 million loan? Yes, it has high interest rates, but that cash should be enough to carry the company forward for a few years at least and return to profitability. They didn't go from 1...

While I am not a Trudeau supporter by any means and do think he’s completely useless. If you actually read the article is say no cruise ships over 100 pax in order to keep our health care system from being swamped by a covid infected vessel. Which is understandable, why would you want a ship with th...

The airlines got bent over (again) today by JT. But he took the time to say nice things about them so let’s hope that a meaningful sector specific package sponsored by the Feds is not too far away. I think having a seat at the table is what the airlines were after. Flight to Mexico and the Caribbea...

It is not as insidious as the headline makes out. These airlines all have Canadian workers, who were laid off, so they applied for CEWS to pay there laid off workers. Be they station chiefs, supervisors etc. Most of these airlines use contract workers for things like baggage handling and customer s...

Speaking of which, you got to wonder if Air Canada isn't thinking about picking up West Jet too while their at it. Ummmm no.... WestJet’s owner has faired fairly well during this pandemic, so doubtful they would want to take a haircut this early into their ownership. Schwartz has been trying for a ...

Hashtag is pretty straight forward. If I wanted to trigger the AC diehards I would've written #stillbetterthanflatpayandacareeratbigred. But that's a long #, not likely to trend anytime soon. You never know though after the AT merger and cargo contract. Projecting much? Well I’m certainly not an AC...

That's what you took from it? I almost want to say yes, just to see how far off the rails this goes. Yes, I took your comment about being more than flat pay (which it’s not) that it’s a better financially. What else should I took is as? You want to be an internet troll and compare the pay, then tha...

Less than what they should, but more than it would take to stop the furloughed pilot group from applying. #stillmorethanflatpay So with your hashtag you’re saying a career at Fox flight is better than a career at air canada financially? That's what you took from it? I almost want to say yes, just t...

While Westjet is private and there’s little to no way for average Joes like us to see foreign ownership, I’m sure it’s a different story for the government especially when they already had to verify and approve foreign ownership levels during the sale/privatization. Also, Onex has done fairly well t...

Noticed on their job posting on PCC they’re hiring for 737NG/MAX. Do they have Max’s on hand/order already?

There’s no point arguing whether Airlines deserve bailouts or not or whether joe public wants to see them get bailouts. It’s clearly not going to happen if it hasn’t happened yet, the best they can hope for is aid or tax breaks during the recovery phase IF it becomes necessary. Unlike previous Airli...

Not really surprised. They want their bubble. Airlines shouldn’t send one plane there if it’s a money losing venture. Enjoy the bubble. It’s gonna be a long couple of winters. PS: I do feel for the commuters who live there, it’s beyond your control but commuting is a choice. Maybe you should turn o...

You’re overthinking it. As long as you arrive to work sober and rested they really don’t care what you do on your time off. The big reason they ask on your medical for weekly drinks is it allows them to monitor for other possible medical conditions down the road. There’s no set hard limit on drinks,...

A few years ago I started with a goal of working for a big airline in a few years, I was in my mid 20's and didn't have to money to commit to flying so I just studied theory and saved up for the flying. 4 years later I've been flying as much as I can but due to weather and how busy schools have bee...

I guess half the westjet pilots on avcanada should be terminated as well then. It's sure easier to shoot off one's mouth in what one writes, when being such a coward as to not use your real name. I've learned that here, observing some of the adolescent bullying. A ton of spineless cowards. Have som...
