4) Your social media is heavily monitored, and is used against you. Also, there are people who bait you into saying negative comments which then get reported to management, so try and be positive, which can be very hard just due to the fast pace and stress. Overall though, the people are awesome and work hard.

Is there a job posting for that position? (social media monitor person??) lol. All jokes aside, I really hope that is not true. I think this is 100% invasion of privacy. It's almost like stalking. Yes I agree no one should post something that damages the company image etc. but you just can't spy on someones personal life without probable cause. If there is any doubt that someone posted something negative, by all means go ahead and monitor the social media and punish the person as required. If there is no complaints then there is no reason for an employer to spy on someone. That's my opinion, I hope most of you agree or else we should just "avoid" social media to stay safe.

If you apply and get the call, don't break the bond. Keep your promise. Know what you are getting yourself into..

I would kibitz that all pilots should follow that advise. Leaving early after an employer invests in you makes the rest of us look bad and brought in the bond issue in the first place.

If it wasn't a terrible place to work they wouldn't need a training bond. Apply there, take the job, take the type rating, get some jet time, then leave for greener pastures. High training costs will force their wages up or them out of business.

I have flown with a few FO's lately who didn't have a single good thing to say about you. Beware of the BO as well... they said.

He is right about seniority, if you are will to work you will do bottom at the better than the top but stand-ups at 1/2 pay but the same amount of work as two flight days, and inside the training department where your deadhead paid at half block time in transit to places like PHX or CLT take a huge chunk of your possible pay

It is GDO of 10 days, some so get 11

9 stat days

Vacation is also an issue, you get 10 days after a year but you bid the year before, most never get them with lower seniority unless you sneak in a VAC or two in the monthly schedule

You do get the perk of accepting min rest of 10 hours for 2 credits. Draft is 6 credits or 1.5X

If you are looking for a schedule as a DEC, you will have ten days off a month but you have no idea of what you are doing until the 05:30 wake up call. This makes this job very difficult to commute without a YYZ crash pad

Per diem is about $1.90 CDN or the current USD exchange. There is no real cell phone repayment which will be needed for MOC calls so go with a good US plan like Telus or Wind. If you have exact call records you try and submit them as an expense but with all the OT, who has time when you are getting fitted for gold teeth?

No tips for shuttles and rest time starts 30 minutes after the cabin door is closed, not when you actually hit the hotel which means a short night in CMH.

As a DEC do not expect much help at CAE and the FO's will smell you out like sharks in the water... Be nice to them, when they upgrade, they will push you down on the schedule

What makes you think he/she is not looking some other place?
What if she/he did and is not getting any answer from anybody, but the world keeps on turning?

What if the GGN’s conditions are good for whatever the heck she/he is looking for?

He/she probably already applied to Sunwing but is still waiting for a call?

At the end it all just translate to what the pilot is looking for isn’t?

But to answer the question, a GGN RJ captain does good and can make better with overtime. You can apply if you want and find out yourself.

I totally agree with that and I think they have the right to do so in this case. As I mentioned in the previous post, as long as there is probable cause they are welcome to monitor the person's social media. Otherwise, it should be illegal in my opinion. Hopefully everyone agrees.
