It takes at least a year to get to YVR, bottom of the 220 list. 2-3 years to get bottom of either the 777 or 787 RP in Vancouver. I doubt you’d get a YVR position in PIT.

Re: Jazz CRJ crash at LaGuardia

What was it a year or two ago a fire truck collided with an airbus taking off in Lima Peru and it was during the day in clear skies. At night in bad weather with possibly the CRJ already touched down much harder to see.

Re: 2026 PIT FLEET AC

I am speculating but I would estimate AC staffing at around 14 pilots per fully utilized NB and 22-24 per fully utilized WB. These may be conservative estimates considering the impact of the FTDT rules and the phasing in of deferred CBA changes that may impact pilot efficiency. I think you're SUPER...

Re: Porter slides off runway in YHZ

Halifax needs to get their sh*t together. I can’t speak to this incident, however, it is not a coincidence that they have issues every year. Probably about 4 or 5 years ago, I was getting ready to depart and they were advertising 23 the active with a 4-5 knot tailwind component, and 1/4 inch slush....

Re: Widebody fleet replacements?

I was under the impression that Airbus types have a simplified course if you are already typed on another Airbus as the systems are designed to be as similar as possible. I'm guessing the salary structure and collective agreements make this impossible at Air Canada. airbus has CCQ (Cross Crew Quali...

Re: Leave TS for AC?

I’ve flown with FOs that were captains at Transat that came over in their late 30s early 40s. And a lot of Transat FOs. Yes the lifestyle at Transat is better but some of the FOs mentioned they were more tired at Transat cause their departures for Europe were always late at night. I don’t know of ma...

Re: Hiring demand vs supply?

Fair point. But equally they could waive that for flow positions if it suited their business. They require a ATPL and 2000 TT I don’t see AC waiving either of those to hire Jazz FOs (not to mention passing over higher seniority captains at Jazz which would contravene the PML).

The way I had it explained to me was that Air Canada hires, future captains! If you’re a captain at jazz, you’ve worked in the hardest airports on the busiest routes, etc. They (AC) don’t want to have a glut of FOs who can never upgrade philaviate and lostav8r, I'm under the impression both of you ...

Looks like an MD-11 has crashed in Louisville on takeoff. Reports of fatalities. #1 engine found near the side of the runway.....reminiscent of the infamous AA DC-10 crash at O'Hare in 1979. https://www.ctvnews.ca/world/article/at-least-3-dead-11-injured-in-ups-plane-crash-in-kentucky-and-governor-...
