Re: Aerocourse INRAT Questions

Even if those are the departure minimums. It seems kind of dicey to fly when you're at minimum. Yeah those conditions are all well and fine when things are going your way. Say you lose power and electrics. Now what? Now you're fucked trying to get back, unless you did a VCOA So you're saying as lon...

Re: Aerocourse INRAT Questions

Yes you have to interpolate. You can depart below the spec vis down to half a mile as long as you can meet the requirements listed. If not the you need 1.5 miles. What? No. Spec vis is departure minima. You have to have the visibility per the category to do it. You only meet the requirements to rel...

Re: Taking Control on the Ground

If understand correctly the short answer is yes. You oversteer the nose wheel on tight radius turns. It becomes more and more relevant the larger the aircraft. In the 767 most of the taxiways at yyz if I don’t oversteer the corner I’ll drag a main through the grass. Is that only an issue in Canada?...

Re: Denying Overtime

Well it's good to know the pressure is working. I think I'll buy a paddle board and enjoy the water this summer. You should do that either way. Whether you’re happy with your work conditions or not, you shouldn’t let your job define who you are. I think we’ve all flown with those boring weenies and...

Re: Toronto base wins the PRIZE!

Easy folks, slow down. Our MEC recommended we enjoy our short Canadian summer with our families. It isn't summer yet. There should be no complaint with doing VO now, but come next month and August it will be a different story. Save the jabs till warranted. 1442927A-4344-4143-801E-F55915221A5A.jpeg

Re: Agreement in Principle reached

I saw that payscale earlier. I doubt it’s official. It’s just a bunch of salaries with no context. I’m going to bet when it is released it will be in an hourly rate format.

Re: Agreement in Principle reached

I’m not at Westjet. But the summary says average pay increase of 15.5%. So different years of service may have %. Also it says 9.1% of WSP would be added to the hourly rates. My understanding is that the WSP was up to 20% and will now be 10% of salary (with no pilot contributions any more) So it see...
