I'd say all three are pretty comparable. Picking one category like pay might put one above another, however each have different benefits and disadvantages. Jazz pays well, and has a PML to Mainline. Encore has a top notch commuting policy and gaurenteed flow. Porter probably pays the best for a Q, ...

The company that owns jazz.

It's sad that the pay is so low at the regionals but what can we do. In my opinion the starting wages flying a 705 machine in the right seat should be at least 60-70k given the responsibility, training and costs involved to get there. This is a never ending story. The reason it's still low is that ...

They should merge, but if course then how could AC undercut one another using each other? If they do, AC will guaranteed start looking for other companies to do the flying for less, just to keep costs down at chorus. Maybe, but they have cost certainty until 2025 with chorus. I'd be surprised to se...

Thanks. i appreciate the quick response. So my curiosity is, what is the incentive to stay after Jazz spends the money training you? Uhhh, best working conditions in Canada for a regional (even mainline is debatable), a career, two year upgrades? Shall I go on? I'd say all three are pretty comparab...

Yeah, but then you wouldn't be able to live in a concrete jungle. One of the fantastically expensive cities of Montreal, Toronto, Calgary or Vancouver. We all know that its every pilot's dream to live there. Yes it's everyone's dream to wear a hat on the subway, especially when you can use the hat ...

On the 400 it’s engaged after start and switched off after landing. Not that it does anything when it’s on though... Ever land one when it kicked off? :lol: Yup. And honestly I couldn't tell. If it kicked off its usually in a crosswind, you honestly couldn't tell the difference with no yaw damp on ...

You can't really see a T tail in profile...

go ahead and compare them if you want. Rumours about jets from a logo is ridiculous.

Looks like a q400 with the gear up to me.

I think the focus on the importance of on time performance would be a big part of that. OPT is really pushed at most places. If an airplane is late off the gate there has to be a reason given. Most people don’t want that reason to be them. If someone shows up late for work, you will be that reason....

If the job you are looking to get will only give you a PCC, you'll need the IPC. If it's a job where you'll get a PPC, no need to get the IPC as the ride will renew your IFR. Well, what if during your training on their aircraft and not on a simulator facility which some companies sent you off for y...

That's awesome. 3 paid personal days 👌 Quick breakdown: Five days of personal leave, with three of those days paid Requirement to provide 96 hours (4 days) advance notice of schedules Four weeks of paid vacation after 10 years or more of service Eliminating the length of service requirement for cert...

I think there was another thread here about long haul guys living out of Canada but still based there. Do quote me, because I really don't have any clue but if I were to guess, unless you declare yourself a non-resident you'd have to pay taxes in Canada, and I guess the states too if you're a reside...

I fail to see the difference between an AFX failure on takeoff vs on approach. Both will give excessively high torque readings with operating engines and could result in engine damage. That’s why we train for these things. A go around is much like a takeoff, rather than having high energy and low p...

Question: have a pretty big debate with some colleagues: How come, on the twin otter, the autofeather system is not armed on the approach part of flight. Would it not be usefull duing a go-around? Can’t find anything in the POH. Autofeathers in general shouldn't be on during any phase other than ta...
