Incidentally, I well remember being a wide body Captain and being out of work due to an airline failure...only to see in the following year the same passengers being flown by a foreign carrier which was code sharing with Air Transat. Was very demoralizing to be on EI and see the work go overseas. A...

Gladly when our "aviation hero" finally admits its really always been about Transat vs. Sunwing.

Gilles, Just watch us! I've seen enough. The amateur videos made in Piche's basement was the icing on the cake. You guys are actually getting quite funny......you can really start to see the desperation. Not for anything but when you're quoting Ghandi and trying to act like the Canadian aviation he...

Okay easy there Trudeau.

Ah well well.....someone's true motives are starting to show. It's not about the competition at all right? Give me a break.

Dude some of your posts are starting to sound pretty desperate. Btw. You got smoked in that CBC interview.

If Transat...oh lets see how should I put it......plans to 'utilize' foreign crews......will you continue to publicly take up the foreign pilot fight? Will we see you petition against your own company on Parliament hill? Will you now include Air Transat as one of the culprits in your emails to Trans...

Hmmmmm....this accordion fleet you speak of sounds awfully familiar to another companies business model?

Ego? That's kinda funny. As an RP your basically like a penguin. You have wings but you can't really fly.

You're probably going to get some idiots ranting off "who do you work for?...you should be paid more and not have to work another job ect ect" Anyways I know guys that have owned their own franchise, paramedic, patient transfer, volunteer fire fighter, instruct (if your company allows), supply teach...

Take whatever you read on this website with a grain of salt. You dont necessarily have to go North to get your start. You're kind of limited in the GTA but one company you might consider is Air Georgian. They hire from their dispatch/office onto the 1900. You could also instruct part time and work a...

Hey Tom Brady, I'm open I'm open......pass to me!

Que the armchair quarterbacks......

Sorry, but I missed the news release. Could you please post a link? Thanks in advance. This industry is retarded. Only going to be more fighting and dirty business tactics when this LCC, Encore, Aerobee and Sky Regional get rolling. You might be right about there being more dirty business tactics i...

Since information from Sunwing, CanJet, xSkyService, WestJet ect is easily available can someone from Transat answer (with hard facts) as too how many ENGLISH ONLY pilots they have hired in their history? Will you not deny the fact that Transat has a history of only hiring Quebecers? Does being heav...

complexintentions, to be attacking Gilles and therefore defending the practices of the likes of CanJet and Sunwing? Who's paying them? Well, Sunwing and Canjet are paying via monthly wages. This is the whole point, people feel they need to defend their employer when they think it's being attacked a...

So the old thread got pulled. I guess it kinda sucks when the truth comes out. Fine, slap on the wrist. No more personal attacks. Pilots are smart people but lousy detectives. So TRANSAT has been compensating a certain pilot to fight this battle. Are they spying on the competition as well? Wow this ...

Haha.....what a fraud! You have us all believe you're doing this for the good of Canadian aviators but really you're being compensated by your company to fight this battle.....who just so happens to be the direct competition! What a fraud! I wouldn't follow you to a strip bar....let alone in this fo...

Oh Gillian, It's funny how no one here has mentioned the fact that up until a few years ago it was close to impossible to get hired by Transat unless you were a French speaking Quebecor. I can count 3 jet qualified guys off the top of my head that were passed over for less qualified Quebec residing ...

tail gunner you seem like you would be a real peach to work with. instead of worrying about jumpseaters and 20 some odd contractors at Sunwing, you should be focusing on your own airline which has a whole heap load of issues.

You want to talk about Union Busting, it's called "LCC". I hope for your sake they're all going to be ACPA members.

Tailgunner,

Easy there Capt Kirk. Denying "MYJumpseat" to a fellow Canadian pilot (who has no say in company policy btw) who is just trying to earn a living flying a jet like everyone else......that's just a real shame. I hope I never share a flight deck with someone like you.

For what it's worth I have a friend flying for Air Asia on the 320, based in Indonesia. He was hired with exactly 0 hrs on type and no Canadian ATPL. He just kept applying and applying. He actually interviewed with a few asian carriers before getting the job with Air Asia. He's based just outside of...

Gilles you're really starting to get a bit annoying now. I'm all for 1:1 and more jobs for Canadians but blaming all your AT financial troubles on Sunwing is bs. Whats next, Air Canada.....this LCC that isnt even public yet? Capitalism. Sometimes things arent fair. AT hasn't been making money for a ...
