LOA during flat pay and come back to a Captain spot would be a valid strategy to avoid working for peanuts. You'd probably fail the course though unless you already have a boat load of time on type. Even then, without knowing Air Canada's unique procedures it would be a tough go.Ash Ketchum wrote: ↑Tue Feb 07, 2023 12:31 pm So if you are first year pay but have 800 below, you would still be able to bid and hold captain right away when you get back? That's not too bad then because you would be off flat pay almost immediately.
