Thanks for your thoughts RealityChex, always great to see you here. This is a massive disappointment from all sides. MOA#4 was endorsed by our pilot representatives, required 6 months of talks and then mediated by a third party mediator. The end result was voted down by 81%. On a positive note, at ...

No. These new airplanes are certified as -900's and will remain as -900's with 12J 64Y configuration. The current fleet of 16 -705's will be converted to this same configuration and will be "re-certified" as -900's. The -705 designation will cease to exist at Jazz. What????? So Jazz adds one more s...

So are those 5 Q400's "sourced" by Air Canada coming from the Sky fleet?

Da40 sucks. Temp and weight limited in summer heat. I'd go parachute over a flying sperm.

Sure
and the new one will be renamed voyageur airways

http://www.tsb.gc.ca/eng/rapports-reports/aviation/2013/A13O0098/A13O0098.asp Why they don't just do Flap 35 at all airports like Jazz is beyond me. Helps a lot with nose high landing and approach attitudes. I know their thinking is for CAT2 practice having Flap 15, but it's a Captain only landing i...

I heard ORNGE can pay a little over $100k on a PC12 for Captains. Plus benefits and such. I know a few guys making a career of it there in Northern Ontario. Plus cost of living isn't as high at ORNGE bases for the fixed wing side.

Depending when, but this time of year Jazz and other operators are using winter weights.

Also typically a breakdown could get you in the jump, but if it's all or more than half male pax. There's little chance it can work.

I guess those 24 CRJ are going to Sky Regional now.

Didn't westjet make you pay for your type rating in the beginning?

Be aware though, according to WJ, they have no obligation to seat you next to your family members, even if they are children, unless you pay for seat selection. Even on the same booking/PNR. That's about the dumbest thing I heard all day. No obligation maybe, but common sense dictates unless your s...

I seem to remember hearing that they don't wear pressure suits. Anyone hear anything different?

Didn't you just post this in the Jazz forum?

Let me guess, Jet Naked? or Jet Lines Canada? Cause you guys are the only ones not in the know!

Crew meals have gotten pretty rank there too and it use to be really good when Bagel boys had the contract. If you look at the company as a whole over the last 7 years. It's easy to see all the money pinching cost savings they have been doing. Selling the terminal is the first step of a cash flow is...

I think $500m is a bit exaggerated. The fact that porter has to pay off its debt means investors want out. Secondly Porter still has to pay off the money to build the terminal. Thirdly I highly doubt they will pay off all the airplanes since they need a down payment for the $3.2B C series order. If ...

I was going thru the domestic screening in Terminal 1 at YYZ the other day. Got the red arrow, so I did my thing and stripped down for the metal detector. In comes TRANSPORT CANADA. Shouting "Transport Canada" holding up his badge and walking straight thru without stepping on the selection mat. Of a...

If someone doesn't mind sending a PM. Interested in schedule as well as pay for the FO position. Would you recommend working for Suncor or not. Personally i have never flown a corporate gig.

Me too, feel free to PM me any info would be greatly appreciated.

Anyone she'd some light on the lifestyle conditions with scheduling rules at cargojet now? I heard it wasn't good prior to unionization, so I avoided the place. Feel free to PA me any info.

If that's the case good job by the crew Distance from CYVQ to CYZF is 370nm If the engine failed three minutes out of CYVQ, and the flight crew kept on going to CYZF instead of returning to CYVQ provided the weather was good in CYVQ, they should have the book thrown at them. And I'd also like to kn...

Only thing I have to add is Bearskin doesn't have working autopilot in most of there fleet. When a situation arises it may have been possible that both guys had there head down looking at a checklist or one guy doing a checklist and the pilot flying reading the plates. When situational awareness jus...

You can taxi a Q400 with one in feather but no operator will do it . Simple reason is cost. Typical fuel savings with one in feather on the Dash 8 100 and 300 are good. Even better on the Q400, but due to the added torque and strain on the nose gear, the cost of repair and maintenance out weighs th...

I'll call anyone in our membership who claims they can't send their own letter of concern to our MEC out of fear or whatever reason, but will instead send it to a third party to have them stir the pot on the internet, a cowardly little prick indeed Beech. As for your comments on AC and the CPA, are...

What I do take exception to is some prick apparently within my own pilot group So is that what we are when we call upon the MEC for help? We are just "pricks". Funny thing is you will not stand up for your views but instead call out someone as being a nuisance within the pilot group. Especially sha...
