It’s an airplane. Fly it. Thank you for your insightful and helpful advice on this post... NOT! I am with capt here. I find it unhealthy how many pilots would rather learn how to pass by knowing what's on the check vs learning how to pass generally. Its a very unhealthy mindset in this industry

Definitely. In the current market AC only needs the best. The days of multiple training failures and exam attempts are over. Going forward only the best to fly the flag.

Jk. You will be fine. Hiring numbers ebb and flow every month. Get the app in and sit and wait for your shot.

You're not the first helicopter pilot I've seen applying for a major airline. Does the experience translate well? Not sure hence why I am asking. I would think so. King Air captain for close to 1300 hours, 90 survey for the first 600 mainly pic. Been flying IFR Helo for the past bit both as sic and...

Gonna hijack as well. Anyone here recently apply know the time frame for initial contact?

2k+ fixed wing been working rotor last year.

There's a lot of bias to overseas airlines by Canadians i find. As someone in the process with Emirates I have found a lot of my concerns have been brought up and answered. Currently in their ground school is 2 air canada guys. Yes there is some sacrifices to going overseas and yes those airlines su...

Let's not forget it's the pilots voting yes on these terrible contracts. Maybe ALPA knows them better than they know themselves. :rolleyes: MEC Chair...recommends this TA MEC...selling it Tim Perry ALPA President...Essentially endorsing it... ALPA National...wants this done I'd say pretty big sales...

I'd just say canadian pilots are a bust. Reason why the rest of the aviation world calls us frostbacks.

This is absolutely bang on, I’m sorry if my support gets you some flack, they don’t get it! I clearly showed 120 now is not better than 415k spread out, I guarantee you can make a lot more investing 415k over 20 years than 120(after tax 75) over four year but what do I know! The I want it NOW gener...

Unity? Lol to be honest this TA proves the pilot group was anything but unified. Even the MEC wasn't unified in presenting this to the pilot group. Good luck enjoy the mac and cheese, no social life, upcoming divorce all while you get to enjoy the captain next to you complaining about how he wants t...

solid 90% no vote will get you what you deserve Ahh yes most unified pilot group in the world for a world class contract where in the course of 24 hours has been completely dismantled. But yes put on your lanyard and vote no, but as is usual for pilots. That carrot is more appealing then the stick.

AC is looking to bring CMA into the mix like they did PAL Ac would bring your momma in too if they could. Just cause cma has one Q400 means nothing until it happens like pal. Look up the q400 they have you'd realize it's being utlisided by talton nations up out of dease lake... You could be right b...

From TSB.... C-GCKV, a Thrush Aircraft S2R-H80 operated by Fly'N Dutchman Ag Ltd., was conducting aerial application operations 5.7 nm southwest of Melfort/Miller Field (CJZ3), SK. On an application leg, the aircraft gained altitude to avoid a power line. After clearing the power line, the pilot in...

Jazz's biggest goal (and let's be real challenge) for the summer was to stop hiring to gain a pool of candidates for the fall that could upgrade immediately or in short term. Was confirmed pretty well by the list that it's weighted to heavily with fos who cannot upgrade, along with will not upgrade ...

No one has the balls to take it to a strike which is quite ironic since strike pay is more or less what a huge % of guys on flat pay are getting. Really hoping this is the difference maker come September. On ALPA strike pay, year 1 FOs are making more than on regular salary. There is literally noth...

We’re always separate companies till it’s an AC pilot asking for the jumpseat home then getting pissed when a baby face jazz pilot gets it instead lol…it might be a shitty contract but it’s a contract none the less between two parties and it was violated and massive damages to individuals careers h...

Proves my point even further. Canadian pilots became AC pilots when they merged. AC is not merging with Jazz, it's no different than a pilot coming from WJ or Flair. Your start date is the day you accrue seniority. Look, if you want to work at AC so badly, you can get there much faster through port...

AC can and has forced SL before.

AC will move towards the cheaper result for them and the shareholder. The Question is which is cheaper. A pay out per Jazz pilots or some fixings on the SL.

Whenever someone asks, "do you recon canadian pilots will ever be unified to the point they start seeing success in numbers rather then individuals?". I think of posts like this. Who knows the comp for jazz guys get. All the people saying they don't wanna see seniority numbers at ac I'm sure would s...

Unless of course you are from Jazz and you are need to protect the air Canada network for just a few more months. Well don't say that to loud. According to some AC guys they think it's good punishment for making them do regional routes. Hearing the jazz guys had their interviews pushed from March t...

Where are you getting this data or are you stating your current dreams. King air bonds specifically for the 200 the norm is 10-15k up to 25k depending If you go to sim. The metro bond info is also erroneous see Carson and Perimeter are much more then that. I understand bonds suck. But post some usef...

For the most part. Only guys leaving the Qs for porter Qs are direct entry. Been several Q fos make the jump for the e2 though.

What type of experience do you have? 1800 tt, mostly pic, mostly turbine. As Accountant said, I don't think your experience level was your problem Not sure, the recruiter wouldn’t reschedule the interview. Idk man. I swear every other topic I see you posting and commenting about your millions of ho...

Very nice xp. Any reason why lynx over WJ, AC? The benefit of gaining seniority much faster than at the former 2? Wj currently not hiring. And screw going to AC because "it's ac and I can be one of a million commuters for a crappy reserve schedule". The quick gain in seniority and quick possible up...
