Re: Does Anyone Have a Dog?
Also, find a good dog sitter, or two, always have a backup plan. Or use websites like rover.

Re: Westjet mainline commuting
I dare say that will change pretty quick. As more westjet pilots flood into those positions, that will be a priority. Its also in managements best interest to turn this into a lifestyle job to help attract and retain pilots. Quite honestly I’m not trying to stir the pot. But, do you think it’s poss...

Re: Does Anyone Have a Dog?
💯 % agree with the above ^ Also, we have a Yorkie terrier, non - shedding and hypoallergenic, fantastic dog. Easy to train, small and fun to have in a small house/condo. She’s basically a cat. From when we first got her (8weeks old), we didn’t tolerate her barking at all, unless there was someone at...

Re: Strike vote
Rejected tentative agreement: http://www.unifor2002.org/News-Room/Flair-Airlines/Members-at-Flair-Airlines-Reject-Tentative-Agreeme Ouch. Doesn't look good on the MEC I agree. Good on the boys and girls there. Standing up for themselves. I've never been in that position, must be hard to vote down a...

Re: Is the trainer you fly and start with important to an career in aviation?
this thread in currently on a rabbit trail of a lifetime. Leave it to pilots to always have to prove how smart they are. You asked for advice, so here are my two cents. No it doesn’t matter what training aircraft you start with. Just be willing to learn, and try to fly as many different types as pos...

Re: Westjet mainline commuting
If you are new to the company, you will be stuck at swoop for a good few years. Our commuting policy company wide is one of the best I’ve ever come across. But swoop is not going to be commuter friendly, not for a while yet. Don’t expect to be able to bid right away to Mainline, lots of folks at the...

Re: WHY SO MUCH HATE AGAINST SWOOP??
Just to add to your post. 91% our of 95% vote in favour of a strike mandate. Saying that the WJPA were “involved” in high level talks with management is misleading. Saying both sides agreed to Swoop wages that would be close to Westjet mainline wages is a complete lie! There was NO information pass...

AGL is a ticking time bomb. Too many horror stories , many of them, oh so recent. Sadly, just a matter of time until they are renamed “ six feet under “

If you fly into YYC sometime, Calgary pilot supply was going to have one on static display. It should be out now.

Re: Workaround.....
When you are able to step over the railing of a 500 foot bridge and then leap off, trusting in your packing skill to enable a successful opening followed by a successful landing, you learn a little about courage. Not saying it’s the only way to confront and overcome fear, just saying that for me, I...

Re: Workaround.....
I'm often amused by these young aces who think unions are going to bring them gold bars every day but ultimately pay and working conditions are determined by the market. Well the union at AC has given decent pay rates, trip regs, and bonuses. And we’re not picking up trash at end of a flight, just ...

Re: The End of the WPDL Confirmed
WestJet pilots calling Swoop pilots "scabs" has got to be one of the finer examples of irony ever posited. It will probably appear in the 2020 edition of Funk and Wagnalls and possibly the OED... Okay, fine. No more scabs. New name for them. Stabs. Because they stabbed us in the back. Happy? Ps. Do...
