....... I wouldn't be surprised to find out that the pay cut was comming ball park 15-25% and they will settle on 5% If, and that's a big "if", the company came into negots with a 15-25% pay cut proposal. I would need very little time to vote "yes" to strike. Regardless of the companies financial s...

Unkown, or anyone for that matter, Please take the time to send a message to the company. The few that ruin your travel experience need to hear about it. The only way for the company to fix these issues is to know that they exist. If you go to the website. On the top right corner is a keyword search...

Don't cherry pick but take all AC operated fleet types vs US legacy carriers and the hourly pay rate differentials are obvious. Having said that, the precipitous drop in the C$ this week is certainly quickly bringing parity. Rudder, I have no plans on digging up more info.... apparently you have it...

you can't say WestJet pays it's pilots more. You are right it is very difficult to say who is paid more. The only wages I could find from Westjet online had a 25% stock option. So a straight up wage comparison would be very difficult. Less the 25% option westjet was within a few grand pay wise. On ...

B/H - AC pay is already out of whack with the rest of the industry and you want more? Bonne chance. Wow... that has to be the most confusing comment I've read on this forum. Out of whack pay?? With who is AC wages out of whack? If you don't mind could you supply us with your direct comparison. West...

HA HA HA!

Generalizing is fun!

blueskies777 I really don't feel like getting into it. My point was that in your original post you said: I also know someone who got let go very recently at Jazz. My point was that no one has been laid off at Jazz. Later you said: I know someone that has been told he will be laid off. The difference...

I'm sorry.... blueskies777 you know someone who has already been laid off or Let go? "Let go" normally means fired. Lay offs have not yet happened at AC. I'd be very surprised if they have started at Jazz, considering AC has not yet finalized route reductions for the fall.

I was surprised to read this the other day. http://www.bloomberg.com/apps/news?pid= ... 4Zcpime8pc
I guess gas prices' can knock the wind out of anyone's sails. I was under the impression that Jet was in a very strong position.

I believe some managerial bonuses are in order.

Hate to be a giant nerd... but that's not a -72. Those look like the old JT3D3 turbofans.
That looks like one of the -54 that where converted to freight.
I think the only cfm converted freighters were the -73's.

I’m in YYZ and haven’t received mine yet either.

My Lightspeed 20 has never let me down. I’ve had it for the past four years, and I put it threw 2500hrs(some bush and some corp). I no longer need to use it with my current employer. So I gave it to my father to fly private with. Yes DC’s are built like tanks- but why would you need a headset built ...

I hope this info helps. I didn’t have any of my references called. I did however have a past employer called. I guess they got the phone number off my formal job application I filled out at the interview. A week after they called him I had a medical date.

Good luck to all.

No it’s not sarcasm. I never said it was possible to confuse EP with Buffett. I am certainly not saying I would plan my career around ICC reincarnate. But it’d be a fun ride while it lasted.
Yes, I once worked for ICC. You?

I hope it’s not the end of ICC. I would work for EP any day of the week.

Any company that bonds an FO for a PCC on a single pilot aircraft needs some serious help. If you are just starting out- please don’t get involved with something this silly. There are good jobs out there you just might have to work/move to find them.

If it’s who I think it is – it’s not the bond bandit. Could be a old name from the air cargo biz.

From what I’ve heard (which is very little) 757’s were the craft of choice. Not sure exactly what they ended up settling on.

I've also worked for Northway in the past. I look back on my time there with a real fondness. Would I move back to Pine Dock? No. But I'd love to go for a visit. If you look towards dispatch or management for decisions with regards to weather, you are looking in the wrong direction. When I was there...

Hello. Time to take off your aviation hat and flex your outboard motor knowledge. The Family and I have been boat less for the past few months, while we looked for a new boat and outboard. The cottage is water access only -so it’s been a long couple of months. Finally we settled on a 14’ aluminum wi...
