Re: WestJet Mainline/Encore Hiring pool

Not quite the new norm. I believe they ramped up the last two courses to 100% in order to bump up the years average to 75%. I think the intention is to run at 75% flow for the rest of 2016. So only 2 out of 8 will be off the street. They also mentioned they have enough guys in the pool to last the r...

That is not the case at Sunwing.

I believe Cargojet starts higher than that too.
I thought Sunwing started at $53/hr so roughly 50k/yr.

Cargojet only has a 3% pension match?

Is that info up to date on Canadian Pilot Pay website?

Re: Porter CSeries/Airport Expansion

I don't think Adam Vaughan has even consulted with his leaders before speaking like that, a bit premature in my opinion. Day 2 and he's speaking on behalf of the entire liberal government regarding this issue which is a few hundred million dollars worth in terms of jobs and economics. Easy there Ad...

Re: 777 captain for $175K

So looking on Canadian pilot pay, a year 7 WJ captain gets $185/hour. 1000 hours/year = $185,000 +20% ESOP = $37,000 T4 total: $222,000 Actual gross cash in hand: $222,000 - $37,000 (company ESOP) - $37,000 (employee ESOP) = $148,000 Max RRSP deduction for 2015: $24,930 Taxable income: $222,000 - $...

Re: WestJet Mainline/Encore Hiring pool

You got that right Loopa. Ive been in the mainline hiring pool for 9 months now and am sure hoping Aug is the call i get. Otherwise my time is getting shorter and shorter. I guess October classes may be my last shot. Taking 4 or 5 out of the 21 in the mainline pool means the odds are not great. Her...

Re: J class on the 767

Westjet 767 will be configured 2/2/2 in PLUS section and 2/3/2 in Y. PLUS section looks to be equivalent to AC's Premium economy sections on widebodies. Looks quite good.

Re: WestJet Mainline/Encore Hiring pool

Encore is running monthly courses and our next westjet course isn't until May (50%flow) The bulk of the Westjet ...
