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...

Although it did happen in the past when AC was flying the CRJs. But if you failed your command course you were terminated.

Re: Strike outcome desires

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). But they can and will...

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 ...

Re: UPS MD-11 Crash in Louisville

Just watched a breakdown of the of the takeoff roll video. You can definitely see what looks to be multiple fireballs coming out of engine #2 as the plane rotates. Was this due to debris from when engine #1 self destructed or the flames and smoke being ingested by engine #2 I’m guessing we will find...

Re: UPS MD-11 Crash in Louisville

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-...

So with Rouge that’s 247 fins so that gets you down to 162 employees per fin still a big difference with Delta’s ratio.

Just remember AC doesn’t have a set time line from interview to hiring. The candidates with more experience (705 jet PIC, jet time, total time etc) and other things that add to their resume get called much more quickly than candidates with bare minimums.

Yea YWG was the last 320 ETOPS base, but it’s apples to oranges this time around Previously only a couple 319’s were ETOPS - with the XLR it’ll be 30 fins or so Tricky to bid when going off rumours!

Any thoughts ??
That’s the rumour, YYZ is such a big 320 base that it would be hard to keep guys ETOPS qualified. Also YYZ overseas ops warrant a wide body. But who knows.
