It could. Upgrades are based on seniority plus other factors but having the qualifications when people senior to you do not can result in a faster upgrade. It also depends on what the jet pic is on. The requirements involve having time on aircraft over 100,000 lbs. I know you and I have talked abou...

What a shame this TA passed. Too bad Sunwing's LOU wasn't negotiated a bit sooner and that might have given the Flair pilots some real perspective on where the industry is at right now... Sunwing's LOU was negotiated BECAUSE of Flair pilots. How can you people not see this? You think that day's aft...

What a shame this TA passed. Too bad Sunwing's LOU wasn't negotiated a bit sooner and that might have given the Flair pilots some real perspective on where the industry is at right now. The Flair pilots just voted themselves into the hardest working lowest paid 737 job in Canada for the next 3 years...

Any recommends on good doctor's in the Toronto/Etobicoke/Mississauga area? I went to Dr. Kapoor last year and he seems to know nothing about aviation at all. After waiting for him to show up from a conference for 45 minutes, the medical took an hour n half while he looked up what it exactly was he w...

With the wet leases there are supposedly a few more foreign pilots in Canada working for Sunwing this winter than there would have been with the dry leases. That's just what's been said by upper, whether it's more than last year or more than would have been this year had the foreign workers been all...

I think it's time to call the UN

Mar 25 GS is all dash 8 100/300. 6 YYZ, 4 YVR, 1 YYC, 1 YUL. Next ground school April 23 has 14 people, already filled. Supposed to hire 120 this year.

so why do some, not all, Air Canada pilots dislike me for something that happened when I was just starting out my flying career? probably because in general you come across as a bitter EDITED haha. It's a personal thing, not professional. Imagine how bitter this guys gonna be in 5,10 yrs. Good luck...

You joined Jazz four years ago, in 2007. So in 1995 when the Picher arbitration award was released, you would have been just going into Grade 7? Your arrogance is exeeded only by your ignorance. Before picking up someone else's fight, you might want to educate yourself about the relevant facts and ...

I called up industry canada, the lady sent it that day and I got it the same week. Very easy.

Wyndham: thought you were applying to Ornge? Stop asking everyone for info on the interview. What do you honestly think they ask you? One good guess is HR questions which are pretty standard! Prepare like everyone else and not get questions asked previously and have a pre prepared answer in the int...

Quote: "I've done about 200-250 per year."

that's really not that much, sounds like a lot of sitting around? Is this more or less the same at any of the bases or planes?

Anyone who's been for the interview care to share some of what they like to ask? Any info would be appreciated, thanks.

My sources tell me there is only one groundschool left and they've called out for most of the interviews already. They've just completed 2 groundschools. I'm sure they will keep looking shortly after though so keep the resumes flowing if you're interested, and keep your file updated. any idea what ...

I heard from them today. Doing interviews this week and next, didn't ask beyond that. I tried to ask how many positions they are hiring for but they wouldn't say. Interviews are only in North Bay and you have to pay your own way.

has anybody heard back yet?

In the section that has you tick off how many "large multi-turboprob/jet PIC, FO" and "small multi PIC, FO" hours, if you have +1000hr of PC12 captain time, which is your only turbine command, are you basically SOL being able to tick off that you actually have captain time, since its not multi?

Any recent information on these guys? Pay? Schedule? Working conditions? What Gander is like as a place to live?

on their website it says the min for CRJ/dash F/O's is 1000TT, 500MPIC and atpl. Does anyone know if that 500MPIC is a hard limit? I know its been on there a long time well prior to the job ad. I'm well under 500MPIC but have 3000tt and well over 1000 turbine. Thanks for all the previous info as well.

Do they hire experienced pilots for the metro or only promote from within...ramp/instructing etc

Actually it does, having the A's WRITTEN (with a cpl) is the same as having the IATRA.
Read CAR 421.40 part 3

correct

what do you do when you go for an interview? Just print out the last few pages? And what about getting your times certified? or does no one really care about that anymore?

This might be a stupid question........So how can it be considered discrimination if its what the majority of the pilot group voted? Mr Wyndham, I assume your an AC pilot otherwise why would you be asking. After 7 years of litigation, countless millions spent on lawyers and literally thousands upon...

This might be a stupid question, I try to follow whats going on but still dont fully have my head around everything. I understand the decision, but if the pilots/union have a contract with a/c that says retirement is at age 60, the pilots voted on that didn't they? So how can it be considered discri...
