Re: E2 new hires
As a new hire, you don't get to be hired at the base you apply for? (For example applying for the E2 in YVR) No, right now all hiring taking place will be to YYZ. YOW is already full up at the moment, with YUL to be announced soon. YVR will fill, most likely with internals as well with the folks wh...

Re: Any Update On The New Contract?
At least it's not as bad as the dog shit sandwich Encore accepted. Mmm, I have to disagree. Encores overall contract is significantly stronger than the Flair one from the get go. Yes the last agreement doesn’t have a big enough pay bump, but it is a Q operator after all and they are all under paid....

Re: Are Encore pilots aware they are accepting 705 wages below PC-12 & King Air captain rates?
Reality is this. ANY time a TA is put forward, we here at AvCan will slam the crap out it purely based on wages. Full stop, whats the wage, burn it to the ground. What was the mandate set by the Encore pilots? We have NO clue, NO idea what the ask/take was. Combined with the FULL contract, its not a...

Re: Why everyone runs to AC?
The first 4 years flat pay is dog shit, that's why negotiations for a new contract are underway. And to be honest, even we don't get a "World Class Contract" the majority are staying, and new pilots will continue to join. The unmatched job security and pension benefits at AC are significant factors...

So what is the verdict? Is this good enough for the Flair pilot group?

Re: Any Update On The New Contract?
So yes that's the pay being offered but at 75 mmg. That's the end of the good news, unfortunately as with all things Flair, they want us to take concessions to get it. I'll wait and see how the town hall goes before deciding how to vote. First marginally negative comment about Flair from Co-joe, wo...

Re: YVR destinations
What is the E2 like to fly in terms of comfort and spaciousness? Plane is fine, fun bird and well designed over the originals. Flight deck could have been extended by about 6-12 inches which would have made all the difference for when someone is in the jumpseat. Nobody in the jumpseat than it’s lik...

Re: Any Update On The New Contract?
If that garbage of a contract wasn't voted in, you would not have to worry about mid term raises as you would already be near the top.
I wonder if the company is going to give up trip and duty credits this time, probably not but one can wish.

Re: YVR destinations
Curious to know why you find a yyz-sfo or yvr leg that bad? Is it because of the E2? Or is it simply because it's too long time wise, and it wouldn't matter what plane you were doing it on? It doesn't matter what I'm flying. After 2.5 hours I'm ready to be on the ground. The E2 is great. Except for...

Re: The end of Flair?
The company is aware that there is a problem with online payments but isn't saying much other than the fact that they are working on it and should have things up and running by the end of today. There's been a few email about it throughout the weekend. Of course they are aware of it, there are in d...

Re: Cargojet or Flair?
Hi, Quite a new pilot here with some jet experience. I had the luck to get an offer from both Cargojet and Flair Airlines but hesitating between the two of them. Context, I was employed by Lynx Air and got furloughed as they stopped operations, but it seems that Flair are pretty solid (even though ...

Larger issue would be ETOPS.

Re: Dash to E2 left seat upgrading
FOs are now restricted to 3 a month plus new hires have a 2 year fleet lock on type although that may have changed as of late. Exactly. The 3 a month includes FO's, it is not just Captains. I’m confused, I’m hearing 2 years, and I’m hearing 5 years. I’ll take the worst of the two in consideration a...
