Re: Air Sprint Questions

Hi Matt (and James), I just wanted to say thank you for posting here and being so transparent. It's a refreshing change from most employers who are pretty mercurial about their company culture. I know it's a lot of work and also I know that some posters here can be a little rough around the edges, ...

Matt will be a few days in responding... Send me a PM with your name and I'll have someone reach out this week.

Thanks,

It is not as our process accounts for it with our updates. You can review the inflation discussion for AirSprint in detail on avcanada. You will see that our pay scale adjustments over time far exceed inflation.

Thanks,

Re: Air Sprint Questions

Those are reasonable gains, but what is the point of a 25yr pay scale??.. We have pilots with more than 20 years with the company and fall into that part of the pay scale. Regards.

Re: AirSprint - Updated Pilot Career Guide

Hi Radiohead, The short answer to your post is that the scale you are using was not in effect at the start of 2018. As an example, all Captain started at $80k at the beginning of 2018. I have not verified your math (being Saturday night and all), but your comparison would be at the most negative poi...

Re: Air Sprint Questions

Edited the post to clarify that people would not want a scale linked to inflation which did not increase compared to a system that increased regardless of inflation.

Re: Air Sprint Questions

Seems like there is a question regarding how budget timing works at AirSprint. The 2022 budget was finalized on November 15th. Notable was that this was the first quarterly board meeting since Covid began where flying had reached normal levels. It had actually rapidly far surpassed normal levels in ...

We currently have a Captain on year 20 so we are extending it.

Regarding the rotation/schedule questions, I will leave for Matt or Adam to reply as they will do a better job of explaining it.

Re: AirSprint - Updated Pilot Career Guide

This part is not true. This barley keeps up with inflation. Air Sprint’s pay-scale was never indexed to yearly inflation like most airlines do. So this might seem like they have increased wages significantly, but in reality this is just their first time updating their pay-scale in a long time. In r...

Great to hear things are starting to rebound. I may even throw my resume in the hat, although I'm sure they're getting hundreds of pilot resumes for laid-off airline folk these days.

Re: Air Sprint Questions

What about the first group of pilots that got laid off? If the rumours in the FBO crew rooms are correct, there are at least 2 fairly senior pilots that haven't been recalled yet. Very early in the pandemic in mid-March a few pilots from secondary bases were laid off. It would not be right to speak...

Rumors at the airport are that AirSprint laid off 40% of their pilots. Don't forget about AirSprint's 35% pay cut company wide - including management - as well. Glad I'm not there anymore.

Hi everyone, Doing a little school project and comparing AC's and WJ's CASM and Average Stage Length. Interestingly, AC's jumps up significantly in 2014...
