Re: East Coast friendly Jet Jobs

If you’re interested in a 604 position, there’s Sobey’s, Oxford/Shaw in YHZ. There maybe a couple of more I can’t think of. In YSJ there’s the 3 Irving flight departments, Irving Air Service, Ocean Aviation, and Irving Oil Transport. Shoreland Transport (Cooke Aquaculture) is also there. McCain’s is...

PAL does not have any Q’s on the west coast. All our AC Express flying is YOW and east, BOS and EWR.

Re: Newark

I’m not corporate anymore, but fly in and out of EWR with PAL Airlines. Most days there are ground delays, especially after lunch. On an IFR day most EDCT’s are an hour to upwards of 3hrs.

Is a good source for possible EDCT delays

Re: First Officer Schedule

All the PAL Q's are in the standard PAL white livery. No plans for the AC Express paint as far as I know. It would be nice, but the airplanes rotate through YYT and YUL bases and do PAL sched flights and charters. I'd love to see just AC Express dedicated airplanes with new interiors. As far as rese...

Re: First Officer Schedule

Can’t speak for YUL, but YHZ is all AC Express flying, BOS, EWR, YOW, and a little bit of NL flying. Mostly day pairings, odd 2 day, and a couple split/continous duties. Junior pilots are mostly reserve, with a couple pairings. 12-14 days off a month. I haven’t done an overnight since January. Prett...

Re: Fleet Reduction

Personally I think PAL is only being used as a stop gap until AC acquires more aircraft, and eventually PAL’s AC flying will be taken over by jets. Either JAZZ or mainline. The YYT, YOW, YQX, BOS and EWR routes out of YHZ should be done on a jet.

PAL has leased another hangar in YHZ that fits the Q400, and if I am not mistaken about a dozen maintenance personnel working there now.
