Canadian North Dash vs 737

[Krashman]

Anyone know the what the sched is like for the Dash guys or the 737 guys?

Dash works up in the high arctic so you're probably on a rotation?

737 is back and forth to YEG alot so are the pilots too?

[Zako]

Does anyone know the work sked and starting salary? Also, when do passes start?

[FICU]

Pilot bases are Edmonton and Calgary. Dash 8 flying is out of Yellowknife and Iqaluit with 90% in Iqaluit so it does require spending a lot of time there. There are no set rotations as of yet but they may be coming. Dash 8 pairings are normally 6 to 7 days.

737 flying is varied between a lot of single day pairings and 2 to 6 day pairings with the 6 day pairings being out of Ottawa.

Passes start after 6 months but there are jumpseat agreements with AC, WJ, Jazz, and a few other carriers.

Starting salary was just moved to status pay for both 737 and Dash 8 while on probation due to the need for direct entry 737 F/Os. Don't know what it is.

Has anyone been called yet for an interview?

[FICU]

A 737 ground school just started a few days ago and I see there is another add for more pilots so I would expect another class soon. No idea on interview calls though.

Thanks

Can anybody clarify how the status pay exactly works and what kind of salary one could expect?

[skudrunner]

Is there any truth of them hiring direct entry Capts or at least a fast upgrade?

Status pay means that for the probationary period the pay is the same for a new hire Dash or Boeing F/O. This prevents pilot group problems when a Dash class is followed by a Boeing class.

No chance of direct entry into the Boeing left seat and I have no idea about the Dash.

Two year upgrades to Left seat on FO Direct Entry.

They're starting to make their calls. Interviews next week.

[50'minimums]

Can anyone share what a 2 week pay stub looks like for a new hire?

[ihavecontrol]

Are they still making calls or is that it?

[Zy]

I believe that's it for this time around.

[slowstream]

Nope, there are interviews going on this week
