Fact. Opens in October. Not sure on amount of spots yet. Will have to wait for the bid to come out sometime within the week.

Do you know why they are opening one? Are they trying to attract Permieter and Calm Air pilots? Or is it because of routing/network reasons?

As an AvCanada discussion grows longer:
-the probability of 'entitlement' being mentioned, approaches 1
-one will be accused of using bad airmanship

Lots of their own flight crews live there. I'm guessing lots of their planes overnight there too..

They both just finalized new contracts which pay their captains substantially more than a FO at WJ. I don’t think it will move anyone with an ATPL and time.

Substantially more for what, a couple of years at WJ?
