elected a man who openly admires China and mocks our lifelong best friends. Who are you talking about here, while everyone likes to slam Trudeau for this, it equally describes Trump. The way I see it, everyone did their level best to work with Trump from the start, getting to the point of awkward f...

As long as the mindless consumer gets their cheap TV's......we re elected a man who openly admires China and mocks our lifelong best friends. I don't get canadian voters..... That's what I mean, Canadians have "lost the ball"... and crashed short of the deck... We aren't tracking what's really impo...

If so do you think the people will just give it all up? Their new success? China is hyper nationalist, they think they're the best because that's what the CCP feeds them - they are told that the world is theirs by divine right Largest standing army in the world, a military that has grown significant...

I never said we didn't do anything since WW2. When I say we lost the ball, I mean Canadian society. One good idea you have there is service. Every Canadian after school, military or aid or other. Talk about bringing us together as one nation, Quebecers on course with Albertans, Newfies with West Coa...

China already has two world class ice breakers, and they're about to launch a nuclear ice breaker. What do you think that's for? Russia, China, even the US assert that we don't own our Arctic. And what do we have up there to say we do? Some Rangers with 40 year old bolt action rifles? An occasional ...

Are work conditions at Encore all that great?

It's just CARs is it not?

They were by far the lowest rung regional in the country when they launched if I recall correctly...

Swoop, Encore, same shit...

Of course you can selectively close your airspace.

Look at Qatar and the Saudis.

ICAO agreements are just a wish list... if there even are any.

You would have to be willing to enforce it as well... Against civilian airliners? That's pretty easy. Really it should be led by the US though and backed by our Western Allies. I think the Chinese situation is ridiculous. We should have been shutting down a lot of things already, but airspace isn't...

Is that when the decline in pay started?

Have to pay for all that tankered fuel somehow...

Fix NB Captain pay too.

Everything should be higher, but 4 year flat, NB CA, and FO:CA ratio in that order should be the focus.

All valid jokes... I had worse in mind, but refrained.

Unfortunately it really shows the sad state we're in.

Lots of good ideas in above 2 posts. Make them tell you if you're released or still on call. If the operator isn't prepared to tell you when you're rest period is, then you tell them when you're taking it. It's your responsibility as much as it is the operator's to ensure you meet CARs crew rest, if...

Hi Hudson - I didn't know you were riding along with cloak...

"certainly not anti anything"

IMO your best option as a new hire is the Rouge 767. It's probably the best schedule and funnest layovers at the company. Socialized bidding and no reserve is big. Draft pay is 2.5x! Enjoy your amazing lifestyle for a few years while building seniority and then decide if you want to go NB Captain o...

Draft pay is a 50% premium.

Overtime pay is a separate 50% premium for flying above 85 hours.

Some people work extra flying at straight time for some reason...

Hahahahahaha.

Glad I won't see you on the line - good luck with your corporate flight department.

Hahahahahaha.

It amazes me how concerned you are with it all... glad I won't see you on the line - good luck with your corporate flight department.

Excuses for the arbitrator? The last arbitrator had all the excuse he needed since the Protecting Air Services Act said they had to select the Final Offer that was best for Air Canada corporate. That literally was the law. Their was no middle ground, no interest based arbitration, it was all or noth...

Pretty difficult to fix it all in one go... A contract takes decades to build and develop, the 10 years leading up to 2012 saw ours set back significantly. But in the last 5 years... We got years of service on upgrades back on LOU74. We got a real pension back for our new hires. We got a 900 hour ne...

@schnitzel. Good for you that you think you're King of your hill, that's awesome, but put your dick back in your shorts because you're embarrassing yourself... Your posts are full of wrong information and assumptions about other people. I really like my career decisions too, I really like my job, I ...

mid-list FO and only just WORKING on an ATPL.. that's astonishing... what a business we're in these days... there was a time, not that long ago, that most would have killed to get a job and have a career at Jazz... make 6 figures, good contract, good training, good equipment, benefits, home a lot......

I agree. Super douche move blasting him about his PFO. Especially when it would be so much easier - and deserving - to blast him about those YouTube videos... that's some painful shit. You at least need to be a hot European girl or something if you're doing to that kind of thing. The psych eval see...

I was told once by someone in the hiring side, that over the years, the average age of a new hire at Air Canada has been 35.5. So I'm not sure where 35 as a cutoff comes from... esp. considering 60 was the retirement until recently, now 65 if you're so inclined... I reckon a 25 year career provides ...
