Jazz FO take home pay is just over $1000 (after tax and deductions) biweekly. So hopefully it’s better than that. 🤞

How many GSs are supposed to be still planned for 2022?

If Jazz keeps their original schedule: Oct 31st, nov 21st, dec 12th and 20 pilots per GS, plus the people that are being put into the pool until then,
those candidates won't be offered a GS before 2023.

Thats to do with lack of training capacity, not a lack of pilots needed
Not true at all chief pilot told us they are correctly staffed for now they don’t need more pilots. Guess he’s lying

Heard from multiple sources ground schools are far from being filled. Probably not in the chief pilots favour to promote how undesirable it is to work at their company.

The GS still have 20 people every 3 weeks, and there is still people being rejected.

I’ve personally met 3 people from Perimeter who got hired at AC. Captains on the metro. Why bother coming to Jazz. Go up north get experience, apply to flair and then AC. Jazz is a dead end. You get better flight passes at Westjet or Flair. Fair bidding at Westjet unlike the sludge you truck through at Jazz.

By the time you build up enough seniority at Jazz you’ll be want to blow your brains out from years of harsh working conditions and eating Kraft dinner. Don’t forget to pack 3 days worth of food for your layover. Gotta save that per diem.
Pretty much. Imagine making less in 2023 than a Jazz FO was making in 2013. Not even accounting for inflation.

My favourite part is this on their recruitment website :

Daily tax-free meal per diems on average $9000* per annum.

See, they even give you TAX FREE money so that you can eat shitty food and drink your sorrow away on that layover. That’s almost like having a salary ! Such generosity.

In twenty years time when your kids ask how you got into flying you want to be able to say "work and determination" not "I just kept taking money from your grandparents for type ratings until someone was stupid enough to give me a job"

Funny you should say that, I heard your first pay cheque at AC is around $800 take home. I'm sure you have no pre-diem yet, and lots of deductions to start with.

Does someone know if Sept 19th is still 20 pilots? And what about the remaining GSs in 2022?

Okay,
Should we expect a reduction in class as well for Oct, Nov and Dec?
