Re: Flair Cadet Program Assessments
Hi all. I'm currently 16 years old and still in high school doing my A-Levels (I'm in the ME region but am a Canadian Citizen) and am looking at flight schools/cadet programs. I came across the Flair Cadet program offered at Genesis Flight College and I'm wondering what the entry assessments looked...

Re: A bank's perspective on the pilot shortage
This article is a cold bucket o' water wake up call for everyone who's accepted a contract recently. Essentially - management doesn't expect pilots to fuss, and the costs are absolutely negligible for everything you've negotiated. Don't even start at 40% in your head as a reasonable increase. At th...

Re: Are there a lot of shills at Transat?
Who? Provide a post where anyone not only agrees with the bond, but is also vehemently defending it, so vigorously as you state "to the death". You said it, so back it up. I'll wait.... but we all know that doesn't exist and you're just typing to hear yourself. Nobody agrees with it. Anyways, this ...

Re: A bank's perspective on the pilot shortage
When the cost of a part goes up, or the cost of fuel goes up, the airline, just has to suck it up and pay it. You mean clients (Passengers) Will have to suck it up and pay for it!? That's where the ball will roll at the very end no? The money have to come from somewhere somehow. https://gifdb.com/i...

“if Air Canada's pilots were to receive wage increases similar to the recently negotiated WestJet pilot union deal (+24% over four years), we estimate the total potential increase in overall costs for Air Canada would be 1.5% in total (or 0.375%/year over four years)” “In dollar terms, a 1.5% incre...

Re: BEWARE $30,000 BOND FOR 3 YRS
It astounds me the lack of understanding and education that is displayed here. No concept of how a union works . No concept of the aviation industry. No concept of how to fix the Canadian pilot industry is, but they’re keen to play armchair warrior, without attempt in real life. As far as I can tel...

Re: Is being Relief Pilot detrimental to career
Absolutely it is detrimental. The type rating is useless and you aren't flying anymore and building your piloting skill set. As you mentioned it makes you much less marketable to other airlines too. Wow…really?! I guess if Air Canada is only a stepping stone for another job (which is usually pretty...

Re: ALPA signing new agreements with training bonds
Calm air. Generally high FO turnover, but captains mostly staying out cuz they like being home in winnipeg and the flying is decent. And as far as I’m aware they still make you sign a training agreement. I may be wrong but $25000k, first year 25% of it is erased on a month to month, second year is ...

Re: How to postone an offer?
You apply to several companies. They have different timelines. You would like to get as many offers as possible to be able to compare them. How do you delay answering an offer that comes earlier than the others? Is it acceptable to say "Thank you for the offer, I will give you a response in 1/2/4 w...

Re: ALPA signing new agreements with training bonds
ALPA should adopt a national standard against training bonds. Great idea so in the future it's just not even on the table. If you were a Jazz pilot, wouldn't you be upset that your same union which you paid dues to for 20 years, signed off on allowing bonds at your competitor airline PAL where the ...

Some of you are wasting your business skills flying airplanes. Please go into management and show them how to run an airline. Or go and show the union how it’s done, get elected and make us all rich! TS flight attendants are in bargaining right now, we will not get anything until they are done. Wit...

Re: FO Private Jet or Jazz
Also as someone that went corporate, here are my thoughts, 1) On a midsize jet, industry standard salary is 80-100K, if they are offering under industry standard this may be telling of the job. 2) 30 hours of flight time is relatively high for a corporate machine, this may be overstating the averag...

Re: New CA Expectation
This is why a signing bonus is such a sneaky tactic. Last time we got $10,000. Nice, right? 9 years later it’s hardly remembered and it certainly didn’t change anyone’s life. Doesn’t compound. The other side knows this. A bonus is a bonus. Extra. As for how the public thinks about anything, AC will...
