Feel like anyone with enough seniority to fly one of those there is safe from the chaos going on

[North Shore]

Holy crap - I hope that they've put extra paper in their fax machine! It'll be running overtime tonight with all of the resumes flooding in!

[Zanzibar]

How's the pay and days off per month? Do they have their own sims for training? Thank you.

[Zanzibar]

Anyone have any idea how many days per month they work?

[Yycjetdriver]

Anyone have any idea how many days per month they work?

Usually 0, maybe just the occasional 1-2 a month.

The much more relevant question is how many nights per month!

Because old high time pilots don't know how to e-mail?

If you were hiring you'd have your pick of the litter right meow. Story was that Conair had an unexpected opening, put up and ad here, and took it down that day with hundreds of applicants, many of whom were former employees.

Don't shoot the messenger.

Currently they're working 15 "days" (calendar days, 2255 report counts as one day, 0530 report also counts as one day) ... Days "away" depends on report and release times. Most duty periods are < 10 hours. So yes "nights" but not usually long ones. There are some back-breakers though.

Sims are all leased.

Let’s all just be honest. If it was a good place to work they wouldn’t be throwing out DEC adds for type rated guys in times like these.

[RippleRock]

The pay is garbage for a widebody Skip. That's less than 97k USD a year.

And 41k USD for a 777/787 FO isn’t garbage?

Kettle. Pot?

Since you know what the should not be can you enlighten us as to what the pay should be?

I want to be on the right side of the law when the avcanada salary police knock on my door.

You're joking right?

Tell me what the avcanada salary requirement is for a widebody skipper.

Telling everybody that the pay is unacceptable without also telling us what the pay should be is pointless.

LAst time I checked, at least they're still working - unlike many of our comrades. I'm sure that most of us would rather have 100% of $130k than 100% of EI...

[RippleRock]

That's $30k less than a year 1 Embraer Skip makes at a well known Canadian airline. My guess is you think they're overpaid?

Why don't we all just pack it in and sling doughnuts for Tim's. I hear they got a raise and full benefits. The tax savings and tax benefits in our "socialist Liberal handout" country narrows the gap between high and low gross incomes so fast it will make your head spin.

Plus as a bonus, they're mostly all still employed.

All pilots and FAs should make the same as the CEO.

You didn't mention what a widebody skipper should be paid.

[RippleRock]

Make the same as the CEO of what company?

You didn’t specify.
