This a 12 month outlook based on the last equipment for this year which closed last week.

Note: CMSC chooses which positions and how many positions are available for fulfillment per class per basis.

Note: There are 2 December courses. Therefore there are less of these positions open.

YUL-777-RP [6 spots]
YUL-330-FO [7 spots]
YUL-330-RP [ 21 spots]
YUL-737-FO [15 spots]
YUL-L319-F [9 spots]


YYZ 777 RP [54 spots]
YYZ 787 RP [49 spots]
YYZ 330 FO [15 spots]
YYZ 330 RP [29 spots]
YYZ 320 FO [50 spots]
YYZ-737-FO [50 spots]
YYZ-L319-F [85 spots]
YYZ-220-FO [61 spots]

YWG - NO SPOTS

YVR-320-FO [38 spots]
YVR-737-FO [33 spots]
Is this what’s been filled in 2023 or it is what’s left for 2024?

Indeed. But the vast majority of pilots are unified and working towards changing this. And when it happens, it will positively affect every pilot in this country.

They will take what they can get.

Heard it will be even less in 2024

Global Airline with new hires 777 FOs that are paid less than the flight attendants let alone any other pilot on the NAT Tracks

It's not about the money, it's about the prestiage of flying the flag and being at the worlds best airline. Mention that on your tinder/grindr profile = instant success

Let me guess.. Your Grindr profile doesn’t mention your employer at all?? Just focus on the physical attributes!! Some of us don’t have physical characteristics to brag about, but at least we might have a recognition of sarcasm!!

So you've finally ascended into a state of pure energy.... amazing.
I guess we all knew that pilot was the highest possible stage of evolution before the transition.
