Re: Flair Hiring B737 FO's

It's nice to see management engaged in a positive way on this forum.

How are the contract negotiations coming along? I hope captain pay in the new contract will reflect the experience levels that Flair hopes to attain and continue to attract.

Re: Air Canada and Transat announce Increased Purchase Price to $18 per Share

If they have been there 20 years and are close to retiring wouldn't they have a reasonably large pension earned by now? Why not just retire and ride into the sunset? Most airlines don't have an actual pension plan. Most pilots close to retirement probably would have been in great shape to retire, b...

Re: New Employee Travel Dress Code

Good. I never understood especially on leisure routes why you'd want your employees to dress up in business attire. Wouldn't the company rather have the employees blend in and not be noticed?

Re: Express Pilots VS Mainline Pilots

Express pilots have an agreement with Air Canada, technically your application is already in. It's also much easier for you to get that spot at Air Canada than it is for an off-the-street pilot. At the end of the day, yes they can do what they want, and recent history has shown tremendous advantage ...

Re: Dress Code

It should be airline and route appropriate, with certain restrictions. No open shoes for example. If one is flying to Varadero, it is silly to expect an employee to be dressed in business casual. I agree that being clean, presentable, with certain restrictions and to blend in is the way to go. If yo...

No, there is quite a bit more hiring coming up, this round was just the start. There should be something up very shortly. Good luck!

I guess I'm on the ignore list because I provide facts, not innuendos. The 169 positions are in fact full-term positions, start to finish. If I count the actual number of pilots deployed comprised of full-term and half-term, the number of pilots overseas this summer are 240. There are literally 240...

Re: SUNWING

Gilles, it is really sad that you fail to recognize that 169 full-term positions have been awarded this summer overseas, and you are crying about 80 foreign pilots that may come in the winter. This thread was about hiring at Sunwing, which is happening as we speak. It is distasteful to hijack a thre...

Re: SUNWING

Just to clarify, there are 169 full-term positions overseas being covered by Sunwing pilots this summer across 8 bases. This is highly successful for the company and the pilots alike. Be careful what you wish for Gilles, as Air Transat has a number of wet-leases overseas which benefits the company a...

Re: SUNWING

There are approximately 150 full-term pilot positions on deployment this summer in Europe. All of these pilots are very very well taken care of, and on full-term employment. This is the same thing that Air Transat does, albeit on a smaller scale. Air Transat sends pilots on deployments as well flyin...
