That's cute.. reminds of that time i flew caravans in Tanzania for 4 years.

Those are not their cheapest guy. Training costs money.

Does that include all pilot?

Has anyone calculated what monthly take home pay will be after taxes and all deductions for years 1,2,3,4?

I wonder if the competition bureau report that was due today will be delayed. Sunwing being bankrupt or close to it must be a big consideration if they will allow AC to buy TS and essentially have a monopoly on that kind of vacation travel.

You better get into the unemployment line, because that's going to be your lane for a while me thinks.

Wow I wouldn't wish unemployment on any fellow pilot.

FL320 lost $16,000 already on paper

It is a coping mechanism.

The more I hear of the selfish entitlement from and handful of AC pilots, the more I look forward to this deal as the salty tears will be delicious.

Entitlement? Entitled...to their own jobs...

Now they can go to the arbitrator for the Air Canada seniority merger and say "Look how much we make!".

No one care about your Trump bashing. Keep it to your other social media and let us talk about the topic.

I'd say panic and that a missed approach is taught "escape maneuver" for when thing go wrong during an approach instead of just landing.

Yes many cause.
Cause 1. They flew into the ground
Cause 2. The ground didn't move
Cause 3. The ground was harder than the plane

When do you apologist stop.

The captain is just being fed information from the flight attendant. Many of which hate passenger and want them to suffer whether it being arrested or having your vacation ruined for daring to be on the same flight as this clown. I'm sure if the captain was in the cabin he would have said haha very ...

Damn. Potential CFIT accident again. I wonder if the acceleration after dropping the load could cause a sensory illusion.

My connection to this tragedy is 4 fold. 1. I used to fly for a provincial fire fighting operation. And have lost friends in this business. 2. I have had several friends worked for Coulson's family for years. 3. I spent a year in Australia and have many fond memories of the place and friends that l...

Is there any American example of a flag carrier buying a low wage vacation LCC?

I'd hardly call it a junior weighted list.

If you have 4500 pilots and hired 1000 in the last two years how can you not be junior weighted? That is almost 1/4 of your list and if the rest is more or less evenly spaced it brings the average years of service way down.

I do not think the alert is sent over "data".

Unfortunately, you can't claim this tax credit anymore. It has been eliminated for 2016.

Autopilot malfunction?

The autopilot can be turned off with a click of a button. Unless you are saying this pilot could not hand fly the approach. It happens these day.

Imagine making $24300 a month and only pocketing $11700 of it.

Guys a pitot static instrument failure or blockage is not going to bring down an airplane like this because the pilot can just switch to attitude+power. A gyro instrument failure is much harder to deal with.

Attitude indicator failure is insidious. It is not like at the flying school where someone sticks a cover on it while you are straight and level VMC. It can degrade slowly and still show sort of correct indication. If it happen as you are maneuvering for an approach and trying to manage a descent as...
