I don't disagree with you. You're right, the movement on the classic has slowed. In YVR too. That being said there were people upgrading on it quite fast last year. At one point there was a 4 month on property award for the left seat. That individual was hired around the 10 months after me you mentioned. I have friends who have been here a year and have a shitty sked, I get it. But it's pretty short sighted I think to consider leaving right now especially with AC needing as many people as they claim next year. The movement will start again, and it will stop again. The current slow movement is still better than even 5 or 3 years ago when I was under the impression I'd still be flying 703 until 2020.DH8Pilot wrote: ↑Sun Dec 23, 2018 8:52 pmYou mentioned Q and RJ, both fleets which have seen continuous, albeit slow movement. You've never had to sit on the DH8 list, especially out east in YUL and YYZ. There hasn't been a single new hire for this type since June, during which time there has been only one upgrade. There's YUL DH8 FOs who've been on property for almost a year who are still sitting bottom of the list reserve. If they''d been assigned any other type, they would've easily held a block by now.Lightchop wrote: ↑Sun Dec 23, 2018 8:41 pmLol. No one has been forced to spend 10 months on reserve in YUL. I know a few in YVR that have been there 6 months or so who are right on the edge of holding a line.
Anyone who was hired 10 months after me can hold dash, Q or even borderline RJ skipper in Montreal right now. Have you seen the latest backfill? Very Jr RJ left seats being handed out like candy.
I often agree with your posts; however, realize there's many, many pilots who've had a far more difficult time at Jazz than you.
Anyways... With the slowing of the classic hiring I'd say that's a sign things might be changing in the near future with that type. Might end up to be good things all around, more Qs or RJs perhaps?
