Fox Flight Pay

[AirConolingus]

I used to work for them and boy let me tell you was it a top notch operation. I wouldn't even worry about the pay rates because they are such a pleasure to fly for that no amount of money will take away from the absolute joy you feel when you're called in with plenty of notice to operate a transatlantic flight on an aircraft that was definitely designed for transatlantic flying. I think the biggest perk was the unlimited packs of Kirkland brand mixed nuts that were available to us crew for our 3-7+ day trips. But my absolute favourite part of the job was the modifications on their aircraft that removed the lavs - why deal with a disgusting lav when you can just hold it for 5-6 hours am I right! Anyway this is a great opportunity and I highly recommend pursuing it. Good luck!

I heard that if you shut one motor down you can increase the range significantly. Might help crossing the ocean(s).

Well I’m certainly not an AC diehard or even an AC employee but not hard to see you’re delusional or bitter... or both. But if you want to try to pretend like a career at a 704 medevac company is better have at it, as good as fox flight may or may not be.

Where did he pass judgment about one career path being better than another? And besides, that is personally subjective. Maybe for some people, it IS a better career choice. At any rate, all he said was that the pay is better, which is not hard to prove, and even less hard to believe, knowing how dismal flat pay is. If anything, the only untrue thing he said is that AC is Canada's most "exclusive" pilot career when it clearly is not. They employ some 4000 or so pilots, far more than any other single air operator in Canada, and it's a job that requires no special piloting skills or experience to get. It's actually the least exclusive pilot job one could aspire to in Canada.

Fair enough. Won't argue there.

Well said. A lot of them do however think they’re special though.

Less than what they should, but more than it would take to stop the furloughed pilot group from applying.

What a snowflake/troll you are yyc
It’s clear who’s bitter out of you two and it isn’t schnitzel

How am I being a snowflake or troll? What I am saying that’s untrue or troll like and what I am bitter about? I really have no dog in this fight, just calling someone out for stating things that are untrue.

The joke is, starting pay at a garbage 704 medevac company is on par with one of the most exclusive airline gigs in the country. That's the joke you seem to be missing. It was a joke....haha...no? Goodness me.

Sad and true, it’s a f’n joke
