Re: Flair Hiring B737 FO's
I posted this question in an older thread. Should have used this one!
Are there plans to look at a YWG base and expand service out of YWG at any time in the future?

Re: Flair Hiring B737 FO's
YWG is under consideration as a base but no timeline or guarantee. It will almost certainly see an increase in service as we expand the fleet.
Re: Flair Hiring B737 FO's
How about a YHZ base? (Asking for an Expat friend)
Re: Flair Hiring B737 FO's
YHZ will almost certainly be a base at some point over the next couple of years depending on schedule and aircraft deliveries.

Re: Flair Hiring B737 FO's
So for the next 4-5 years we can expect bases in :
YEG
YYC
YUL
YHZ
(YWG)
That seems lot of bases? Are those, same bases as Lynx?

YYC
YUL

That’s how low cost airlines work, lots of bases and few or no layovers. Just look at Ryanair in Europe.kiaszceski wrote: ↑Tue Jan 18, 2022 4:25 pm So for the next 4-5 years we can expect bases in :

YEG already exists. YUL opens in July, the rest are unconfirmed.kiaszceski wrote: ↑Tue Jan 18, 2022 4:25 pm So for the next 4-5 years we can expect bases in :

It believe it may also give them an edge in attracting and retaining pilots when they're eventually in demand again.igorcanuck wrote: ↑Tue Jan 18, 2022 4:33 pm That’s how low cost airlines work, lots of bases and few or no layovers. Just look at Ryanair in Europe.
There will be a lot of bases available with lower cost of living and/or better climates than the existing major hubs. No commuting and few overnights are very appealing to some.
Re: Flair Hiring B737 FO's
Tentative and theoretical except YEG (existing) and YUL which is planned for July.kiaszceski wrote: ↑Tue Jan 18, 2022 4:25 pm So for the next 4-5 years we can expect bases in :

And yes, a lot of bases which eliminate or reduce overnights which is part of the plan on reducing costs and keeping fares low.
I have no idea what Lynx is planning other than YYC.

Re: Flair Hiring B737 FO's
This is taken from the Flair CBA posted on the Government of Canada CBA website at https://negotech.labour.gc.ca/eng/agree ... 11201a.pdf
For some reason, the Captain pay scale isn't presented in the document.

Re: Flair Hiring B737 FO's
That is an old contract. Wages have gone up. The most recent Unifor contract is free for anyone to view online. But there will be an even newer cba with ALPA eventually.DHC-1 Jockey wrote: ↑Fri Jan 21, 2022 7:08 am This is taken from the Flair CBA posted on the Government of Canada CBA website at https://negotech.labour.gc.ca/eng/agree ... 11201a.pdf

Re: Flair Hiring B737 FO's
Thanks. Anyone know what the upgrade times are? Trying to weigh whether its worth a jump from Jazz left seat or go to AC once they eventually start hiring.DHC-1 Jockey wrote: ↑Fri Jan 21, 2022 7:08 am This is taken from the Flair CBA posted on the Government of Canada CBA website at https://negotech.labour.gc.ca/eng/agree ... 11201a.pdf

Upgrade times for pilots who meet the DEC requirements are currently under 3 months. Those hired later this summer will be closer to 8 months.Ash Ketchum wrote: ↑Fri Jan 21, 2022 11:10 amThanks.

5000 Hours Total Time
2000 Hours 705 multi-engine Jet
500 Hours of 705 multi-engine Jet Pilot-In-Command
If you don't meet those requirements then you need 4000TT and one recurrent PPC before being able to bid an upgrade.
