The fact they pay their metro captains 43k/yr tells me everything I need to know.

[‘Bob’]

Well… they aren’t running clapped out Metros because they want to pay their pilots well… lol.

Anybody know what the 350 captain job in YVR pays?

I think it depends on experience. Recent hires are coming in at about $80/85k. IIRC $2500/yr raise to a maximum of ??
Citation is on scale $75k to start, with $5k raises up to ~$100k. again, that's negotiable coming in, depending on experience.

$75k on the citation is good for an FO but awful for a captains. Which is that pay for?

They just posted the metro and king air jobs for captain and fo again, after 2 weeks... Looking through their profile, they've posted the same job ads over and over since October... what's going on?

Frequent adverts don't always spell trouble. I know people who were hired and trained successfully recently so their flurry of adverts could very well be positive news overall of people leaving for bigger and better things, creating openings for younger pilots.

Was confused by this. I know some younger guys that applied with the experience they are asking for aside from Metro flight time(preference) that were not contacted at all.

That is definitely true in normal times, but I find it hard to believe that their losing enough people to warrant 4 separate postings every 2 weeks. Where are they going??

Perhaps re-posting the same jobs in the hopes of finding more experienced guys with each successive job ad? I’ve seen those same 4 ads posted 3 times over now, none of those I know that applied who meet and even exceed the requirements ever got contacted.

Ya i know, but my friend had his interview in October, where they said no bond at perimeter and 2 year bond at bearskin.

Well, as of 3 days ago, it's 2-year $12K on the Dash and 1-year $6K on the Metro.

MrA

When I was there a few years ago, nobody was signing bonds because they weren’t asked to. The CA says something along the lines of “a training bond exists only if the pilot is asked to sign an agreement before training” or something like that. At the time it was 5K prorated which is reasonable IMO. A pal recently joining the Bear signed 6K prorated for a year.

These days, let’s face it… anything over a year and 12k for a light turboprop is a crime.
