Re: Air Canada and their taxi speed

Windowseat Thanks for that recap. You obviously have not only detailed knowledge of the past process but a much deeper understanding of the financial matters than most including me. Could you please tell me if my layman's brain assessment is more or less accurate: Air Canada spent many years before...

Re: Air Canada and their taxi speed

Quote of the week..."Labor's worst enemy is an unprofitable employer." Let's review some history. Our current CEO was the architect of the plan that withdrew Aeroplan, Jazz and maintenance services from Air Canada and sold them off for 4 billion dollars I believe, not one cent of which actually wen...

Re: Richard Milton Leaving

[ Rebel Corporate pilot. Tried to get on with big red, but got pfo'd. Completing MBA part-time, just finished finance course involving this subject. Wrong guy to ask on fuel. Not an expert there :( The AC pilot selection process is not exactly perfect as some excellent candidates fall thru the crac...

Re: Richard Milton Leaving

Tried to get on with big red, but got pfo'd. Completing MBA part-time, just finished finance course...

Re: Richard Milton Leaving

Windowseat That was a very informative post. Thanks for correcting me. However, it is my understanding that Ceberus did not enter the scene until after CCAA had already been entered, and provided the needed funding to exit CCAA. So really, they did not take a haircut. In fact, they received 2 billi...

Re: Richard Milton Leaving

Rudder That is not entirely true. ACE is not made up of creditors who took the biggest haircut. Many many individuals, leasing companies, suppliers, employees, money funds, etc took huge haircuts when Air Canada filed for CCAA and are not the major shareholders of ACE. Ceberus lost nothing as they ...

Re: equipment bid

just a quick question, not to poo poo the 60 rule debate, but, in all reality what are the odds of a new bid coming out sooner than the 6 months and lay offs happening? i just started a few months back and not too many behind me. Brutal way to finish line indoc on the 767 and be told about layoffs....

My best friend was hired 9 years ago and he had to do the Cog Test. It's been around for awhile. He knows someone on the hiring board and he's been told that almost every pilot passes the cog test the first time, and if they don't, they get a second chance anyway.

Individuals keep interviewing, and re gigging of the line continually takes place based on individual scores. It is possible to be new to the room with a real high score and go to the front of the line. It is also possible to have a score barely above benchmark and never get far enough along the li...

I had all the questions before my interview and I still got the PFO. I ended up using my examples for the wrong questions and got really f*&$ed up!
