Re: Reserve time?

Lad I am currently flying the E2 with says he sat 4 months on RSV before getting his first block here in June.

YTZ FO is very heavy on FOs, so yes the RSV timeline would be higher due to that.

Re: Keewatin Pilots New CBA?

You don't think they are proud of a contract with no vacation till year 4, training outside of scheduled blocks and a paragraph that basically allows the company to do whatever they want? :rolleyes: Ahhhhhh, it just like here at Porter. Company does what they want because the FOAG is flexible

Re: E2 Upgrade time/Interview call back

With that kind of time, realistically you are at minimum 2 years to upgrade. That said, you will make a very good buck (first years are easily doing 100k with block growth and abit of OT) in the right seat flying to some pretty awesome spots.

I can not comment on how long to hear back.

Hard to say, could be a few months or more. As of now, ground schools every month, which does include internal transfers.

You will 100% be YYZ based but for how long is the question. Flying in YUL is tough to gauge, so I think it will be abit before a transfer especially since others want the position as well. You will have access to our RJP/Commuting program on day 1 of employment as well. Just have to write into the ...

Re: Dash to E2 transfer after 2025

No one knows the true answers to these questions. Simply put, the company will not stop the flow program, organization for the flow is out of whack, especially for captains on the dash going to the e2. The FOs it seems a little more clear, when you’re seniority number is up you’re free to go (ish),...

Re: Anyone has an insight regarding the WestJet Group YYC Recruiting Event?

Encore fixed its wage problem in 2023. The issue with Encore is that there is no flow to mainline and poor maintenance . Both of those issues are caused by Onex's desire to squeeze as many pennies from the airline as they can. Employees don't like the company the way they did ten years ago. Custome...

Depends on the fleet.
The lowest timed FO i've flown with on the E2 was in the 22-2500 hour range, where on the DH8 they go significantly less.

To anyone on here who is bitching about the job Charlene did, it’s time to put your money where your mouth is and step up.

Seems everyone here could have done better, so step up and walk that line in 3 years time. Find out what it means to represent the pilot group.

Well done Charlene,
