Re: Years of service
That's exactly what a lot of folks would like to know Really? The WJ pilot contract will prevail for the merged pilot group. The SW pilots will become WJ pilots. And yes, upon implementation one of the upsides will be YOS for pay for the former SW pilots. I hope you're right Rudder. Cause if you're...

Years of service
My understanding at Westjet is that when you upgrade, you count the years of service as a FO for your pay. Example : A FO hired in 2015 who upgrades in 2020 will be on the Captain pay scale of 5 years. First of all, is that true ? I went on Negotech, however the new CBA is not there yet. I was wonde...

Re: WestJet Sunwing merger and seniority
No idea what is going to be negotiated but I bet WJ is going to try to avoid upgrading a bunch of Westjet FOs who have 10 YOS and downgrading swg captains.

Re: New pay scales
As a junior pilot, you can expect a lot of reserve. Long pairings. However, it is max 16 days of work per month. You can have a great qol if you're not commuting. once you are more senior, you can have the turn and make your 80 hours in 10 days with no reserve. Don't expect it's going to be easy if ...

Re: Airline radio procedures
I went from an Air Tractor to a Q400 when I made the transition to airlines a while ago. You're many steps ahead of where I was, if you have experience transmitting on a VHF radio. :lol: There is some good information above, but I think it's important to brush up on ICAO standard radio phraseology....

Re: YUL Base 747 bus
Well, usually the traffic is worst downtown. You can take the subway to Lionel Groux station and the 747. If you buy a monthly pass, the 747 is included.

Re: Air Sprint Questions
Some companies will never call you back although you meet all their requirements, some will call you back with half of their requirements. I have applied to Air Sprints for years, never got a call. Don't sweat it, they may call you one day or not. They probably will just a day after you got a job of...

Re: Cargojet vs Sunwing
4 hours away? I don't see how it could work for a reserve call. Once you get the call, you must report in 2 hours or less if you can. Yes you have a free one and you have 15 min before you acknowledge the call. So it really is 2 hours and 15 min.
