Correct a meeting was scheduled and I didn’t show up, I reached out to reschedule however it appears they’re ignoring me now. Did you let them know in advance you couldn’t make it? What was the reason you missed it? No I didn’t. Reason was I misunderstood the content of the interview. For the other...

Or did you contact them in advance and ask to reschedule at a later date? Correct a m...

:smt054 Any chance the airlines would be able pull the 'federally regulated industry'-crap to avoid the new rules? Yes, airlines are federally regulated and these provincial laws are unlikely to apply to them. The doctrines of Paramountcy and Pith and Substance have many many decisions on them so I...

So while I do expect growth as an airline, I'm not sure how it'll translate into pilot hiring. This company hates being overstaffed (probably one of the reasons they seem chronically understaffed). That being said, having new airplanes/pilots and a new strategy is all something that I can expect the...

I recently heard that Westjet and Sunwing pilots will be paying $50 per paycheck starting January 2024 for this arbitration, no matter if captain or FO. $1200 a year! That sucks, especially for brand new hires :shock: If you’re with WJ, have a listen to the latest MEC podcast, the merger committee ...

Do I have to read it? Or can I look at Westjet/Swoop, GGN/Jazz, Skyregional/Jazz..... You don't have to read anything you don't want to. But if you're going to post your opinion, you can better back it up with understanding both potential governing policy as well as previous arbitration decisions/j...

It was outlined in the most recent contract. Swoop pilots bid on positions within WestJet. Those who were sitting left seat but could no longer hold left seat are pay protected. i.e. a former Swoop Captain who can no longer hold a Captain spot flies as an FO, but keeps making what they were making a...

Hey DanWEC, Canlii, the Canadian Legal Information Institute, is a free online legal database funded by the Law Societies in Canada (see, lawyers are good for something!) This is not a comprehensive list below, but the hyperlinks within the articles and the robust search engine in the database shoul...

Virtually all the flights seem to get cancelled. If they’re on your schedule then you’re gonna be given something out of the reserve pile as your cargo flight has maybe a 10% chance of happening. I highly suspect the cargo operation might be wrapped up soon. Another WestJet success story. You say t...

Is this actually a merger? To my understanding WestJet purchased Sunwing. Plus WestJet utilizes it's pilots much more efficiently than Sunwing so I would be surprised if WestJet doesn't want all the Sunwing pilots to move over. So maybe DOH but half of the pilot list gets cut from the start? Yes, l...

Colleagues, We can speculate and discuss until we are blue or in some cases red in the face. This process will develop and people will in the end be in different locations on the master pilot list. The merger committees will work in the best interest of the “entirety” of their respective groups. Pl...

It won’t be BOTL. We have a merger committee working on it. But obviously when SWG has 4 year upgrades and WestJet is 10-12 years there are gonna be people losing their left seat. So you've done extensive research on previous mergers to substantiate your thoughts? Yes. I've read the majority of pre...

I started flying in 1999 and stopped at the end of 2004 with about 1200 hours to go to university. While I had planned on still doing some flying, perhaps in the summers between semesters, the company was flying for went under. I did look at a few different flying options, but especially in 2005/06,...

Thanks for the info guys. I appreciate your insight and time. Never imagined not notifying employer until after getting hired…Was thinking probably would have to latest at the job-offer stage… Can be frustrating to try and deal with RAMO and AMRB who see you as just another file # and chip in the a...

If you're applying for Single Pilot jobs, then this is an issue. If you're applying for 2 crew airline jobs it's a non-issue. Airline only needs to know after you've been hired as it can effect their scheduling. I know for a fact the major 705 operators in Canada have dozens if not hundreds of pilot...

Just like the housing market eh? You don't need to be xenophobic to see how Canada has been devastated because of mass immigration. As a pilot, I don't understand how you could ever support this. But then again James, you guys also voted in that shit WestJet contract that was supposed to be groundb...

This will barely make any changes to pilot supply in the industry. Skilled workers and, in particular, Flight Instructors, already have a specific path to Permanent Residency in Canada. That has been the case well before this current "shortage". All this seems to do is perhaps speed up the process w...

Can you list which ALPA airlines have profit share & how much? Westjet had a profit share, but I believe it went away when ALPA took over. Air Canada had something along that line in the past, not sure if it's still around. As for how much, it depends entirely on company profits, or is that to comp...

The second thing which you’re discussing is whether a pilot should be paid 1:1 for the time they are at the airport on duty in uniform. Many airlines have rules that are now 1:2 Should it be 1:1? So you're asking if I prefer to be paid on duty time rather than credit? Consider that the flight credi...
