You're not going to get any love here. Go get a job at an airline that isn't degrading our industry.

From what I've been told, if you applied to Swoop and it's been 3 days and they haven't called you, something went wrong with your application.

Sorry how much do 737 Captains make at Swoop again?

Everyone is always so quick to blame AC for their pay. I blame the Westjet, Swoops and Air Transats of Canada.

Hard to bargain raises when your only competition pays poverty wages.

It is called supply and demand.

Obviously someone is willing to work for what they pay so the problem lies with pilots not companies.

And just lower the requirements

More than enough blame to go around. As long as the regs allow a 250hr pilot in the right seat, there will never be a supply shortage which means wages will never substantially increase. Look at what the 1500hr rule did to wages down south. It is incredible!

That's the big one. I'm surprised no one in the USA has made noise about Canadians flying American passengers from US airports with no atpl or 500 hours etc.

If Jazz ALPA wanted to do something about it all they would need to do is go to their ALPA counter parts in the USA and try to have those airlines lobby the US government. I'm amazed this hasn't happened yet.

I would have thought after SFO that the FAA would have started a push to line up our duty regs and experience rules with theirs. I guess until the planes actually collide nothing will be done.

Posted: **Tue Dec 03, 2019 4:55 pm**

You're right. Nearly killing people isn't enough. They have to actually be dead before lawmakers care. It's a broken system.

Nearly kill 1000 and some relatively minor changes. Actually kill 346 and you ground a whole fleet type for 9 months and counting plus aircraft certification procedures change.

What does a captain at Sky Regional make? Why isn’t there a scope clause to get rid of their ERJs? Don’t make this a Westjet/Swoop problem when it’s systemic within the industry.

Your comparing a regional E175 to a 737-800?

It's about half the size.

Are they that much different to fly? Nope. Numbers are different, controls and handling awful similar. Its an airplane, not the space shuttle.

Posted: **Fri Dec 06, 2019 6:44 pm**

By that logic A380 pilots should make the same as a CRJ100. Hell, the guy doing minow trapping in a supercub, $2500/month plus room and board. They're all airplanes, not rocket ships.

The bigger the plane, the bigger the paycheck. Similar sized planes doing similar work should pay the same. Swoop 737 doing domestic and trans border flying should pay the same as WJ 737 doing domestic and trans border flying that should pay the same as AC A320 doing domestic and trans border flying. You get the point.

By your logic then, the guy flying a citation or a learjet should be paid pennies compared to the might 757 pilot....except...it doesn’t work that way.

We are a capitalist system, and pay = experience. Unfortunately, unions still have some stronghold on airlines, who think just because you’ve been around a while, have everything done for you, you DESERVE to be paid big bucks.

Nope.

Get paid what your worth.

WJ/Swoop know this. Guy meets a matrix of relative experience, but doesn’t have to do much more than obediently follow some SOP’s and show up on time. Same said guy wouldn’t know how to operate his own fuel panel if he had to, relies on someone else. Couldn't file his own flightplan, relies on someone else. Heck, couldn’t do a weight and balance manually without relying on someone else, BUT PAY ME MORE MONEY CAUSE I FLY BIG PLANE.

Nope.

Take your 80k job, smile, and be happy you even have one. Want more money? Go earn it.

I feel stupider after having read that.

Never argue with a stupid person, they'll drag you down to their level and beat you with experience.

Haha, I don't fly a CRJ, or even a jet at all. Jets are for hot tubs

I’m comparing an E175 to E190.

The E175 operated by Sky Regional.

The E190 operated by Air Canada.

What is the difference in salary between the two?

And if you justify it because one jet it slightly smaller than the other jet of the same basic design, should WJ pilots who have routes on with the 736 get paid less?

Posted: **Tue Dec 10, 2019 2:35 pm**

The Sky Regional 175 pilots should get paid the same as the mainline 190 pilots. They used to when the 175s were at mainline.

I don't get people in this thread. We should be looking at reasons to bring pay up to the industry leaders and raising it for everybody. We don't need excuses to work for less. CEOs are already doing a fantastic job at that.
