Re: Pet Peeves

Why are some of the newer cars designed with auto headlight systems that DO NOT ACTIVATE THE REAR LIGHTS ????? There are many bozos out there who think their lights are on (presumably b/c their dash is all lit up) and have NO tail lights. Lots of fun on the 401 following a black SUV at night with n...

Re: Sky Regional Pilot Contract

Heard they're considering hiring foreign pilots because they can't find applicants here... Sorry, couldn't resist... The sad part is, I could actually see this happening. With such piss poor conditions, who in their right mind would work there? I believe their original start up date was for Jan 1st,...

I'm surprised they went that far with their no fault go around policy if the wheels aren't on the ground by the 1000' markers.... Any input?

Re: Air Canada pilots call in sick, fatigued, and blind.

I absolutely do not support you. You/ AC have been paying poverty wages for junior pilots for years. Why do we all of a sudden have a problem? Yes I understand the larger issue we have going on here but. You have been bailed out many times, and I have lost family's/ loved ones and much heart ache. W...

Re: Air Transat interview - Potential lay off in the fall???

Can someone explain how the starting peanut salary for flying a 330/310 will work then? What was the original reason for the change? Seriously just very interested.. At least it's a liveable wage, unlike Air Canada and their poverty starting pay.

Curiously,

Re: Air Transat layoff next year

Because working for AC or WJ is the answer... Please.... It's tough enough feeding the family and making ends meet on 50000 G a year, never mind 39000 working for AC. You want disrespect- Two pilots working side by side. One making 100 plus and the other 39000 bucks. Who do you think will get laid o...

Re: Costa Rica, Aruba, and Trinidad & Tobago!!!!!

I believe it. WJ was flying to these destinations for Transat, so they know the load factors available. You guys have also started similar routes flown previously for Transat, so why not these? Perhaps Transat is competing with using Canjet till this battle is won, if it ever is? The 737 must be the...

Okay well I know how messed up this industry is, but man does it burn me when I hear this.

So news is starting to flow about how a part...
