Its the North American way in most industries... anything to make a buck... look at the IT industry now as well, import from overseas and pay min wage while there are thousands of qualified workers already here, but demand more pay.... pilots are different, they'll do almost anything for almost free...

So what is a class 3 investigation... isn't this about the 3rd occurence these guys have had in the past 2 months??

I wouldn't think there would be much difference between EI on 50K vs 35K you can only collect up to a "maximum" amount anyways as far as I know... and it weighs on various factors such as wehn you last collected, have you worled enough hours to receive max benefits etc etc... Jazz can't really tell ...

I predict oil will come crashing down to the $100 barrel (love how I say down to...) It is just a big bubble like the dot com and housing etc. The emerging economies are reducing their fuel subsidies these days and their citizens will cut back big time once they pay realistic fuel prices. Watch thi...

Its all fun in the beginning until you take the multiple 14 hour days worked divided into your salary and releize the guy pumping gas makes double your hourly rate!!!

Ahhh but as far as I know the company *DID* forward the information onto relevant sources (TC) and the culprits were indeed suspended in time by TC... sorry if there was a misunderstanding there :) If a company were aware of a situation and did not deal with it accordingly yes, then there is an issu...

I never said they were boring... I find it rather interesting , but at the same time amusing how threads on here always seem to wander... by all means this is a serious issue, and I am not going to judge on how things were/are dealt with at this particular company, thats their business...(I guess no...

Ahhh yes, this thread... every morning some more entertainment with my morning cup of coffee.. who needs the newspaper,I think this thread is starting to cover world events pretty good... We have drunk pilots Disgruntled Employee stories Examples of people getting killed in car accidents Give me the...

Wow... sounds like a lovely place to be employed.... I think we just hired one, and rumor is there are alot more looking...

I'm curious as to where the problem is that everyone keep leaving... it can't be helping their problems much , and the busy season hasn't even started yet!

The greatest and newest study says that 5 pieces of dark chocolate lowers blood pressure... next they will say that eating a pound of butter a day will lower fat levels 90%.... Donald, Yes I agree, but just MAYBE the captain would have thought twice about what he was doing. And maybe the copilot wou...

All I know is the world will be a better place when the "Keystones" of aviation are gone.. Oh wait... doesn't EVERY operation have a little Keystone in em... No one runs a perfect operation, rules get bent, and interpreted the way the Ops Manager deems fit for the situation... we've all seen it.. pa...

Its about time this F'n stupid rule gets squashed... how anyone thinks anyone is legitamately alert after even 12 hours is on crack... It will take 5 planes to crash in a week and kill a thousand people for TC even looks at changing this rule... A 14 hour day is OK if its only 1 day, its when compan...

Does a F'd up back from unloading freight up north count??

Ever since the "fund" took these guys over its a bunch of people with no concept of aviation calling the shots. A perfectly good company has been destroyed. I heard through a friend that Kistigan is taking a good beating to them with the 1900 vs the Dash just because they are never there on time, an...

I get the impression from alot of guys its like this. I've heard countless stories about guys who finally "make it" to a major. Its all good for the first 100 hours.. hey look at me sitting in a jet at FL370.. then reality sinks in, and its the same old as before... except instead of coming home at ...

60-80 a month Are we talking flight hours or duty hours here?? Seems pretty low for duty hours on a 12 hour day you work 5-6 days a month? I wouldn't be complaining either if I had a schedule like that...

Oh I give him credit for doing it..

Just a quick story on how people think this is such an easy career to get into.. My father took his car in for servicing the other day, started chatting with the customer service rep and found out it was his last day... he just finished his MIFR (a 200 hour wonder) and I guess was starting a flying ...

Pushing this topic a little further.... I find the fact that we can "legally" be pushed 14-15 hours a day ridiculous... I personally think its the stupidest F'n rule around... Honestly guys and gals how safe are you coming onto the 12th or 13th hour flying in IMC all day, doing approaches down to mi...

I wonder the same.... I also wonder why anyone in their right mind would fork up $10000 to fly for that weasle... there are ALOT of other better safer alternatives around Winnipeg... Id like to know why for years transport has been told by people working at Keystone whats going on and yet nothing is...

Just ask Micro$oft about how many patches are required... they just keep on patching til something around the patch breaks, and then apply another one..

Hey, I only speak the truth...

Part of (or the main problem) of serving these remote $hitholes on a scheduled basis is the fact that 90% of the time 1/2 the people booked never show. Unlike large operators where you have a pre purchased ticket, these operators are pretty well book yourself a seat and maybe show up and pay dependi...

If you think Borek sucks, talk to a Perimeter pilot! Countless months on the ramp, pays less then a Mickey D's employee even once your flying. I hear the pilots there have been without a contract coming 7 months now.. managment keeps altering flight blocks as they deem fit.. rumor is there's ALOT of...
