Hi im private pilot that's just a flight test away from my commercial and i want to go on to my multi IFR. I heard from a few people that the IFR exam in the states is much easier then in Canada. Is it true? and if so is it worth going there and getting it done? Nark's not gonna be happy about this...

The crew of an Air Canada Boeing 777-300ER, flight AC-7 from Vancouver,BC (Canada) to Hong Kong (China), reported shortly after takeoff, that they needed to dump fuel due to an equipment problem and return to Vancouver. The airplane landed safely about 90 minutes later. A replacement Boeing 777-300...

So true.

Anyone want to guess for 2015 ? 2015: The Earth is a giant, flamming ball of gaseous shit. But seriously, do you want to hear my opinion? Best Case Scenario: The economy is robust and we find alternative fuels and are no longer the bitches of the commodity prices. - Westjet will grow to 110 planes ...

Look at the European Carriers. Well paid regional's. CASM's higher. Ticket prices higher. Lufthansa has the highest CASM in the world yet is one of the most profitable. Go figure. The difference? they don't practice capitalism to the extreme they do in the US. They also have much stronger labor law...

Thanks for sharing. It looks nice and spacious.

This just in; Canada's four largest airlines (Air Canada, Air Canada Jazz, Air Transat and Westjet) have joined forces to create the National Airlines Council of Canada. The main goal of this council is to promote public policy and legislation favourable to the success of the Canadian aviation indus...

Yeah, they've really gotten anal about that since the leaks to the media.

From your post, it pretty much sounds as though you answered it yourself: number 3.

Lots of people go into the industry saying "I am going to be one of the pilots who makes it to the big leagues." and althought many do... many also don't.

you're choice in the end.

For the sake of ALL JAZZ PILOTS, I hope we DO NOT see the AMERICANIZATION of the Canadian regional airline service. For years salaries have gone down and the work load has gone up. When is it going to stop? When we're earning $17.5k a year like the rookie regional pilots in the U.S.? I think Jazz pi...

It's funny how a year ago we were facing a global pilot shortage and now people with 800TT have a hard time finding a flying job. Just goes to show how quickly things can change in this industry.

Wow, look at all the ice that formed in just a few days!

Military offers good pay and benefits, but you have to work hard and the selection process is tough. Keep your options open. The advice the other guys have given you is good.

I tend to agree with some of the other posts, this hiring advertisement may just be for pooling as a preemptive strike before negotiations. But who knows!

I have my dream job now but it looks like a possible layoff.
Thanks for the responses so far.

Jazz is now hiring if you're interested. So is Westjet.

Do jazz pilots get a Air Canada mainline seniority number(i mean is there some sort of a flow up/flow through agreement with AC)? also if the work rules are pretty much same as any regional? how is the overall morale in the company? How is the pension at jazz if there is one?, and do pilot's retire...

I assume your talking about a pilot positon? Not for a while.

I was in the car with a few of my pilot friends driving to the canucks game and we came across this interesting topic that I thought I could share with you guys. We were discussing how in Europe they focus too much on theory and not enough on flying, and how in the states well, what's theory? and h...

Does anyone think the plane will ever be used again? It looks like it's in pretty good shape.

WetJet wrote:Didn't most of their pilots find jobs with Transat or Sunwing?

Yes, and Westjet.

Why do you want to come back to Canada? So you can get paid less? Fly for Lufthansa
