May God bless our dear aviation brothers and sisters, as well as passengers, who were all lost on this day eight years ago. May they continue to rest peacefully and may their memories continue to live on...

Be safe everyone and have a good weekend.

Yeah, true man...

I thought I heard that they were going to delay negotiations til June or something like that.

And while we are on this topic, I would like to say THANK YOU once more to the many Air Canada crews who have taken me in the flightdeck over the past year and a half, since I've been at Jazz.

Cheer once again...

Massey1, I'm a Jazz F/O based in YVR. As a commuter living in YUL, I can fully appreciate the value of jumpseating. Although I'm not on our jumpseat committee and although I have no idea who this particular person is, I still hold my head down in shame. It only takes one to ruin it for everyone else...

New bid is out. Check the Jazz site.

Thanks Hed, I'll check it out next time I'm in YOW.

Cheers

Hey, this is sooo cool. I didn't even know there was an Aerobatics & Airshows forum on this site. I never scrolled that far down to see it I guess. In any case, I love aerobatics and I love airshows. Unfortunately, there are no air shows held in Montreal anymore. Anyone know where one could enquire ...

Hi everyone. I'm rarely on this site anymore, but as we near years end, I just wanted to take this opportuinty to wish all my aviation peers at Air Canada mainline a very safe and happy holiday season and warmest wishes for 2009. Early last month, I celebrated one year at Air Canada Jazz and so far,...

I rarely log on to the AvCanada site anymore. Because more often than not, when somebody posts something, others (probably for lack of nothing more constructive to do with their time) tend to reply with sarcasm and nonsense. And I have no time for that. But nevertheless, I thought I'd take a moment ...

By the way, whats the deal with recurrent training being shaved down to minimums now?

Oh, OK. Must be another run I was thinking of.

They're cutting Vancouver Sacramento huh? That was one of the new runs we had just started with the RJ, wasn't it? I remember putting that into my Jepp manual not too long ago. In any case, I just hope Saudi Arabia will start producing more barrells cause this whole thing is getting way out of contr...

Yes, you do need to be listed as far as I remember. I used to jumpseat all the time when I worked with Kelowna Flightcraft, as I was a commuter. You must first contact Air Canada's crew scheduling. They will ask which company you work for, your rank (Capt., F/O, S/O) and your employee number. They w...

Lol...I love to get on this forum to see all the different views and opinions that everyone has. Not only on this particular topic, but many others in the past. Sometimes, it can even turn into a heated arguement that could run on for days and days. A one page thread could turn into a 5 page, or eve...

Yeah, you're right about that Brize. It wasn't that long for me though. I was based in YVR when I first started on the line in mid January. When the bids came out, it showed me going to YUL as of May 1st. That was actually pretty quick. But had I know that the YUL flying would be so boring, I would ...

I did notice some pretty useful responses from people in regards to your post Shamrock. Take note of everyones advice and do what you feel is best for you. I still encourage you to PM me though.

Cheers to you and everyone else

Shamrock104, I was a personal fitness trainer for nearly 11 years. Also competed in two bodybuilding competitions, so I definately know about the dieting part! It all depends on what results you're looking for. Do you want to get lean? Do you want to lose some weight? Are you looking to get into any...

Cool. Thanks buddy. Well, my current standing bid already reflects the fact that I want at YYZ base (preferably on the CRJ if I can get it). YYZ has the greatest variety in their flying, compared to all the other bases. Thats what I'm looking for, more variety. The flying out of YUL is quite boring ...

Will we ever see oil prices return to what they were 10 years ago? Is this a sign of the times? Will we ever get a break, or are these outrageous prices here to stay?

Share your thoughts and your frustrations...

CR

Actually, now that you've brought that up Augustus777, I'm interested in finding out if anyone would be interested in a base change as well. But this would be a permanent one. Do you know how we go about it? I'm based in YUL and looking to go to YYZ.

Cheers

Prop2jet, I appreciate your advice. By far, one of the better pieces I've received. And yes, I know all too well how sarcasm runs rampant on these forums. That's probably one of the reasons I barely log on here anymore. 7K is a bit of dough, but one thing I didn't mention, is the fact that I was not...

Thanks Traf. I'll get in contact with ALPA right away. Cause the more I think about this, the more I feel it's not right at all.

Hey everyone, how goes it. It's been a while since I've logged on to AvCanada. Hope everyone's doing fine. I'm the one who has always said that I would never dish out money to an employer to pay for training. Now here I find myself in a situation. I worked for a company last year, the name of which ...

Hey everyone. It's been ages since I've logged on here. Hows everyone doing? What's the latest and greatest news on the forums these days?
