Didn't the CEO (was it Eustache) retire and then have to come back to pull out of the dive?

The 321 neos will do well though...

This one was funny... What was your 2018 salary? Still 3.5 months to go! INCLUDING all bonuses and per diems? Per diems are not salary! When I'm on the road in some of the most expensive cities in the world and having to spend $£€¥ to EAT or TIP or UBER or WHATEVER that is NOT SALARY! Shoe allowance...

It's not a federal holiday - remember we work under federal employment rules in this business. Besides, life goes on in most of the country... kids go to school, banks are open, airlines fly. Do you want to survive BC air taxi or not? Get out of that clapped out Navajo or Metro, pin on a poppy, and ...

aV1 was using past tense in his statement so I don't know why you refuted it then...

Anyway...

Many guys are still on grandfathered rates if they go to RP even today - make almost as much as an FO in the fleet and fly great schedules.

There are no 330 RP positions. All augmented flying (which there is very little of) is done by FO’s. There have been many 330 RPs over the years. Position was only eliminated recently. And yea, people have gone from Captain to RP of various fleets, or Captain to FO, or 777/787 FO to Narrowbody Capt...

Lots of Jazz on this month's course...

It's not a federal holiday, and they don't recognise it in Ontario like in BC...

I always found that strange.

Currently, Remembrance Day is a holiday in all provinces and territories except for Ontario, Quebec, Nova Scotia and Newfoundland and Labrador.

What does draft and drop get you? Keep whichever is the higher of credit for the new trip or dropped trip, plus get paid 50% premium on all flying that is not within the original pairing footprint. For example. Scheduled for a 2 day trip, tomorrow, YYZ-YVR-YYZ. 10 hours pay. Crew sked offers draft/...

Mainline has Draft and VO . Draft is time and a half. VO is straight time. Someone else an explain as to when you get the Draft premium at mainline. The guys that re-wrote/ negotiated that part of the contract are idiots. I agree that those who renegotiated draft at Mainline made a mistake, but mig...

Consumers...

lol...

Absolutely. I'm not a fan of max OT, you need your time off. But being available one or two trips every few months on OT, or a sim seat fill... will likely pay you more than any side job and take less effort to see you through the lean years... At time and a half or double time, and pensionable, it ...

Got the call!! GS on the 1st Oct. (I've got to say that the formula pay is going to be a SERIOUS hit though...still agonizing over that)... Anyone in the know have any idea what types will be on offer on the October GS??? The "Formula pay" is not the main problem... it's the 4 year "Flat pay" that'...

That is horribly written and difficult to read.

My friend's wife works at HD... she got me a discount on some stuff years back... She was a manager of some sort... Maybe it changed?

A WestJet Encore Ltd. de Havilland DHC-8-402 (C-GWFE/WEN3234) from Winnipeg/James Armstrong Richardson International, MB (CYWG) to Saskatoon/John G.

+1 Bede... useless. Of interest is Financial "Advisor" vs. "Adviser" vs. "Planner"... Anyone in Canada can call themselves a "Financial Advisor"... and they don't have a fiduciary duty to represent your interests.

RookiePilot. I'll say again. Air Canada Debt: $6,063,000,000 WestJet Debt: $627,000,000 WestJet reported a loss of $20.8-million after 13 years. Air Canada reported a loss of $77-million. Putting giant pie charts up on here doesn't make it profitable. AC has too much overhead. LOL. You see! Your th...

"Professional Analyst".

What's that exactly?

Equivalent to having an rec pilots licence...and calling oneself an experienced, expert pilot......LOL

I don't know... maybe poor choice of wording on my part, but industry analysts seem to have more credit than avcanada's peanut gallery.

We'll see year end who has the higher profit... not like I care other than to know I'm working at a healthy company. AC has work to do, no question, but their costs are going the right way and they are making profits every year. You haven't been paying attention if you think you can just throw out t...

Yeah, that's brutal.

Stupid witness and clueless reporter.

Let's not forget that back in the CDN/AC days the aviation industry was under heavy regulation and the Canadian Government dictated who flew what routes etc (favouring AC). The times have changed so if you're trying to make the claim that WJ is somehow headed down the same path you need to give you...
