You are complaining because you choose to commute?

Unbelievable.

C'mon, tell us what you really think?

If you feel that way take the other airline? Good one! You must work for AC with a response like that. That exact response is why WestJet is Canada's airline. Air Canada gets buisness because people don't always have the option to fly with anyone else. And I assume you fly for WS? Look, we (WS) are...

Gals and guys, Perhaps I was a little harsh. I can accept that, but I do stand behind my reasoning. A Captain is a Captain, regardless of time with the company, do you agree? Same responsibility. You might get a little smoother, more efficient, but you are still going from A to B safely. We don't se...

[quote="Ryan Coke2 If that is the best argument you can come up with, we'll never get it. :smt012 1 for 2 would be a good tradeoff. 1 for 1 would be nice, but it is somewhat generous. Having said that, it is a very common industry practice.[/quote] WTF?? Why would you sell yourself short? Years of s...

Opinion time: We NEED to allow us (the FO's :wink: ) to slide over with years of service. Why? Because after 6 years at least (for some), it needs to be an incentive to take on the extra responsibility. Once the new scales for FO's get sorted out, why would a 6,7,or 8 year FO want to come over to th...

Ummm, I work for WS, and I kinda agree with Rebel (ducks for cover..) IF he/she said they were fit to carry on, then why the check-up at the other end? As a precaution? Too late, damage (if any) done. IF he/she had any inclination that there had been any side effects from the laser, then land. End o...

This article is about Alaska?

We should move the hedge talk to the Westjet/WS/WJ/WJA or whatever...

35% OF Q3 oil at $136 wasn't it?

Just sayin'......Our profit share will be affected.

Hey zimmer,

Don't sweat it. That's the way the world works sometimes. Some companies want this, some what this, that and the other. There will be an oppourtunity for you somewhere, just keep your chin up.

Just cross North-Wright off your list and continue looking, you will get something.

I have been represented by the CAW and I wouldn't recommend it to anyone, unless maybe you are lazy dumb incompetent and suck at you job. if you don't fit into that category they take your money and hold you back Well then, since you said so. I for one would like to hear what the CAW has to say. Ca...

Correct me if I am wrong, but isn't Southwest unionized? They continue to post a profit, and their drivers are some of the best paid guy/gals in the industry for their fleet size. They have variable work schedules and (seem to) have a great work environment too. So Unions are good or bad? Would the ...

KAG: You cannot base your view of Unions from your very short stint at Jazz. You are basing your take on an upset group of people at a huge amalgamation of regional airlines. How long until the senior blokes here start piping up and demanding for Christmas and such off? I for one would appreciate (a...

Just bring a funnel. During the day: for all the info you will learn During the night: well, you went to college didn't ya? Beer goggles optional........ :mrgreen: Hunker down and you will do allright. The company does not want you to fail, but they do expect a certain level of knowledge. You will d...

I am a WS guy. I am embarassed....... Westjet has done its fair share of cheap seats. We continue to flood the market with "our" price point - the price where we make money. This does not necessarily make it the "market" price. If we can make money at a certain price, but it is less than what the pu...

Respectfully ., you still ended up paying the fee. You can't outrun it. You cannot gain any satisfaction from the measley 50 bucks can you? You gotta "pay to play", it is no different in other fields. I do agree with you, it is a silly charge, but it is there, it is THEIR requirement, so I pay it. N...

swixtt, in the Peoples Socialist Republic of Canada the population has become so immune to taxes the government now adds fees for most every service or question you ask of them. The medical validation fee is another tax that Transport Canada levies on every pilot medical that is done in Canada....t...

http://thechronicleherald.ca/Metro/1074955.html Time to switch to WestJet full time....I've been a loyal AirCanada customer since I was a kid.....not anymore.........Its not the fact that I expect to survive a ditched aircraft its that they are cutting back on safety. & if they are cutting back on ...

Tim Tam, if all you do is . insults, go away again - we won't miss you (Voyageur has a job for you). Hi xsbank, I am trying to prove a point that Doc, as a Moderator, should not be "chucking insults" about whatever he feels negative about. Calling them names, any name is not what a Mod should be do...

Hey Doc, I am pretty sure lots of the young fellers won't shed a tear from avoiding working with you. Then again, you could whipsnap them into fine Redneck specimens. And know-it-alls. Just what the world needs. 8) I agree, why would any young pilot want to fly with the likes of Doc and end up actu...

Wacko, You are correct of course. I don't really know why I give a rat's ass, if some dumb shit pilot is stupid enough to buy a job. It's not a bond of course, but nobody seems to see the difference. I know I don't have a hell of a lot of respect for pilots who buy jobs. That's my problem. I'll do ...

Newsflash:We have pride in what we do, what we are, but all you see is arrogance; so be it. We're excited to come to work, we enjoy what we do, and we remember who truly pays the bills You know, I LOVE this job. Coming from a prop job, this is what I imagined a jet job to be like. But...after the g...

Ok, First you are applying for a job in YYC and we are not AC., Calgary is the base, if you can't afford to live there, fine. Maybe you should consider your other options more carefully. You are told of this during your phone screen and in the interview. PORTS aren't or never have been designed to ...

Any one else think that Four1oh and WJ700 are the same dude? or Dudette? Seems like they are always defending each other. Come to think of it, I think that I have flown with them. They are a Cappy at Westjet right? I remember them blah blah blahing about how great Westjet is. It is just a job man, g...

What are most people doing that are on course for 6 weeks but are not going to live in Calgary. The best Hotel rate I could find for WJ employees was $79 per night + tax. Any better rates out there? As well any good leads on car rental? I am on course 15 Sept - end Oct. Any info appreciated. Thanks...

What, are you kidding me?

I could care less what they charge for cell phones. Don't like it, don't buy one..

If you need it for work, your employer will re-imburse you.

It is not a necessity to own a cell phone....

Have fun.......
