You got the number of that truck-driving school? (Cargojet)

[ScudRunner]

Ugh I hate this fucking Industry!




Pass the vodka! Anyone need a .?

[Cap'n P8]

Holy shit dude, sorry to hear about it. Hope you can set something else up quick.

[1000 HP]

Don't do it! I'm driving oil-field right now. It pays good but start time is 0530 and finish time is 2130 almost every day I'm a night person...

[Labour Board]

Good time to move to Thailand for a few months or years the dollar still goes a long way there!

[Changes in Latitudes]

Is this simply a knee-jerk reaction to DHL shutting up North American ops? Either way, I hope you guys are back on your feet ASAP.

Porter is still a bit shy of qualified candidates, First Air may add a few people to their Yellowknife base, Sunwest is still on the lookout for a few good aviators as well.

[Rowdy]

Maybe it's time to kick .. and Rowdy Air into serious high gear. Can't be laid off if we run the damn show

[niss]

Rowdy, you can do anything if you put your mind to it!

Sorry about the bad news ... Good luck!

If you can get pogey, you can get the free transport truck driver's licence. I did! Seriously. You get full pogey while you're bombing down the road in an 18-wheeler. Sweet deal. Enjoy your time off. The key to successful unemployment is to do something every day. Return movies to Blockbuster. Walk to the store for a bag of chips. Leave the house at least once a day to do something. That's my advice. And I may be at the soup kitchen with ya soon.

Sudbury is starting to take a shit now. Nickel prices tanked and mines are laying off, suppliers laying off.

My boss said we could be looking at quite a slowdown. I keep asking him to lay me off so I can ride the pogey train, but he keeps saying, "@#$! you! Get back to work," for now.

Been on the street twice now over the years, it sucks but something will come along. How much time do you have? there are still jobs to be had...

[Rudy]

Come back up north. Just when you thought you were out we pull you back in.
Did you go to Jazz? That DHL comment makes me think otherwise.

[ScudRunner]

Nah at Cargojet, Just when you think you've got it figure out a good sched, decent pay, Airplane and in YVR. I thought Cargo was suppose to be the stable side of Aviation, guess I put the myth that there is a stable side of aviation to rest.

Time to walk into the pogey office pick up my Coffee mug with my name on it say hi to Phil he's got the paper work standing by all pre-filled out. I really don't want to go back to flying pop and chips around thought I was done with that shit.

[Flybabe]

Tough time of year

Good luck, ..!

[Disco Stu]

Nah at Cargojet,

Didn't realize they were laying off. In fact I thought the opposite was true!

Cuts in all departments!!!! NOT GOOD

[flying4dollars]

What?! CJ???? Wow, one less voice I'll be hearin @ night over Aplex. Shitty deal dude. Here's hoping you're back in the saddle in no time!

[hazatude]

Hopefully you can all come back to your instructing jobs at Peninsulair until things pick up a bit.

[sky's the limit]

Hey ..,

Grab your earplugs and get back in that Islander already....

I'm sure you'll land on your feet in short order.

Season pass in hand, itching to hit the hills!

As to the main topic, lots of jobs around, brush this off, take the experience that you got, and pick a job that you think you'd like.

Good luck.

[Rowdy]

Are they just dumping the YVR and montreal bases? or is it layoffs across the board?

[Techopsgirl]

Sadly there will be more layoffs in the whole company, employees will be notified in the coming week and many of the lay-offs will be effective after the holidays. Of course with the downturn in the economy, CJ had re-negotiated all their contracts with customers and changed routes to fit these new plans. As Ajay has said this week, we are making money but adjusting to the market and it's demands. It is a small comfort to know that we are working for a company that is being proactive and not reactive as most companies tend to be. I'm pretty sure I'm not the only one who has showed up for work one day to find the doors locked and all the signs taken down without one word from the management. That being said, best of luck to everyone (myself included) and hopefully everyone will either be called back really soon or find some other place to work.

There is a strong potential of a huge hiring binge at First Air over the next year. 767's may be near yet no getting rid of all 727's as they frequently fill in for eastern 737's that can't do the job plus a good chance of more Herc guys needed. And who doesn't want to get the chance to fly a Herc for a couple of years.

[tincanflyer]

Are the maintenance bases at YVR and YUL closing to?

Yeah I was just reading that cargo airlines usually pickup during recessions because businesses don't want to hold a lot of stock. Wonder how Kelowna Flightcraft and Morningstar are doing?

Anyways, cheer up and welcome to the club. Been on pogey more times than I can remember. Gotta love aviation!
