Re: What happened to the licence thread?

The thread about the 777 Captain without proper licence disappeared from here yesterday. Why? There is a thread in the General Comments” section but without it here(where it belongs) one is missing out on some “inside opinions/knowledge” that might provide some insight into this bizarre situation. ...

Re: Sunwing B737 Captain fired for ordering fried chicken

He wanted to go and choose his own food, the company was in violation of the collective agreement and inflexible on providing options, he made a goofy protest order to make a point.

Hi everyone, I just got my interview results and I’ve been placed in the hiring pool. Is anyone else in the same boat? I’m wondering how long the wait typically is before getting an actual offer.

Re: 2026 PIT FLEET AC

Probably flat bid. The April bid was cancelled because they wanted to cut and reduce, but someone had some sense apparently and kicked the cab to June at least... No direction or leadership... Expect a nonevent at best. I don't think we will see any cutting or reducing. I solely base that on the 60...

I doubt you’d get a YVR position in PIT. oops sorry I've been here over 3 years, I meant CMSC not PIT, should've posted on a more appropriate thread. There were open 787...

Does Jazz still advertise DEC hiring or was that a temp thing?

The reason I say risk it, the union advises that if you are not succe...

@jazzstuart I can see that you are spending more time reporting people cuz it makes you feel better about yourself. Learn to fly a hold. It’s the same in any aircraft type. Ask for 10 mile legs. Less turning, but you’ll learn that once you actually go above flight level 250 Auto-pilot and FMS make ...

It was a one time trial program... and not repeated, maybe for a reason, not standard ops. Correct.

Delta has a fleet size of almost 1000 aircraft. We have sub 300 not including Jazz and that's simply due to having an exponentially higher population density. Given their restructuring, they've managed to turn that into a highly profitable business. We have too in the last decade and are now a mere...

Yeah that was just logged hours, not including duty time which would be "hours worked". I don't know what I did, just what I flew.

Delta, UAL etc didn't take 16 years to get where they are. They have had massive gains from 2018-2019 onwards, and in two bargaining cycles saw essentially a 100% increase in pay. This is cycle number 2 for us, so when we dont get anywhere close this time around what will the excuses be this time? ...
