Apparently it will remain mainline. Plan is to use the new B737 Max when they arrive. AC doesn't want to switch to Rouge and then back to mainline in the interim. Heard this from Rovinescu.

If the Peter Thornton is an Englishman please PM me and I will forward his details.

An interesting development to say the least. Well I appreciate that nothing is set in stone, the tone that is being set regarding wages and working conditions says one thing to me... that management at Westjet doesn't have any faith in the Westjet brand and that should worry all the employees there...

As I have been to Brazil on many occasions and witnessed the BS that goes on there, I would have done the same. I wouldn't give a rats arse what message I was sending if my life was in the hands of a corrupt legal system. Period.

Wow Air Atlanta Icelandic...what a standup operation

There are no new hires for YVR due to more internal base transfer requests than there are vacancies.

No new hires for YVR. A revised training plan is being loaded into aeronet portal as we speak.

No new hires for YVR this time round. It's all YYZ.

Open ended leaves are a thing of the past at least for the Embraer. The company is trying get pilots to return early from thier leaves.

Rode the 380 from Toronto to Dubai. It is quiet but it has a terrible ride in the bumps considering it's size. It seemed to wallow and heave all over the place. I'd say the good ol' 747 had a much better ride.

If your family members are from there and if you are an apne with experience your chances go way up. You will have to convert your ATPL to and Indian ALTP which is very involved if not sponsered by an airline willing to hire you. By involved I mean you may make it by who you know and what type of in...

As rigpiggy said, slim to none. Airlines in India may only look at you if you have some serious command time on a Boeing NG, A320 or E190. And that "may" look at yuo is even more iffy now due to overcapasity in the Indian market.

Pacific Coastal didn't buy them recently. They have had them for 3 to 4 years now.

Navajo shedding ice depends alot on boot condition and if any Icex/IceShield has been applied. I always found the boots so-so at best, but the saving grace is the wing can pack alot on and give you time to get out of it. As for running lean of peak, I don't recommend it for the Navajo's. It's the on...

Was that the accident where it exploded inflight?

discount carriers like WJ expanded during the last recession (2002) while Ac restructured and lay people off. Legacy carriers generally do poorly in bad times while discounters expand. That may have been the case in 2002, but the dynamics now are very different. In 2002 oil wasn't over $120 a barre...

I the aircraft with the blue tail is just a parts aircraft. It's been there a while now.

Question. Is Air North using the HS748 for the YVR-Whitehorse sched? I saw it parked at the domestic terminal in YVR the other day right at the gate. If they are going to Whitehorse with it, would they need a tech stop?

I couldn't forget the helpful and smiling receptionist. The nice proffesional interviewers. The encouraging and courteous personnel at head office. Wow, if that's not disrespect I don't know what is

I was under the impression once someone recieves the "competitive Candidate" letter it was meant to say you are hired pending the medical. If the medical went at all poorly, I think they would explain to you why and how you can work on the issue in question. Unsure, did you recieve a PFO after the c...

Recieved the "competitive candidate" today. Sighs......relief!

Interviewed late July....still waiting for the word. Still waiting....

ywger: When did you do your interview and when did you get the "positive" letter?

It's at week #8 and still waiting for the answer....

Another one waiting here. Interviewed late July with no references checked as of yet. No letter either. Is it a little early to start biting the nails yet?
