Re: Jazz or Encore?
Curious now that Encore has been around for a bit, how are the FO's managing to survive in YYC? I certainly don't imagine any of them have time to hold second jobs and if you have student loan payments/kids it must be impossible.
Re: Jazz or Encore?
They're living the high life now compared to the new hires schlepping for jazz.

Take the course. Get the endorsement. Apply elsewhere.
At least at Jazz the resignation is free of charge.

But GGN and Porter have bonds. Not sure about SKY.

Re: Jazz or Encore?
No bond at Porter. Im pretty sure there isn't one at Sky either.

While I wouldn't feel bad for jazz given their current compensation, if you can call it that, that strikes me as a good way to burn bridges and give yourself a bad name in a small industry.rudder wrote:Jazz has no training bond.sstaurus wrote:They're living the high life now compared to the new hires schlepping for jazz.

Re: Jazz or Encore?
Isn't all this bond talk irrelevant? Are you going to get a Dash type rating then jump ship from jazz for big bucks at encore, encore to sky, sky to jazz? Any way you look at it you'll be making poverty wages in any of the bases those companies operate.

Sad and very true, regional job = poverty, and no amount of spin can put a shine on that turd.V2plus10 wrote:Isn't all this bond talk irrelevant?
