Re: Which sh!tty operator is advertising internationally?
It is not PAL, and our skippers are making more than what is advertised on that above mentioned site.

Re: Pivot Airlines adds Q400, CRJ200s
According to PIVOT’s Linkdin page, they have acquired Q’s and more CRJ200’s. No mention of what they are doing with them.

Re: PAL Q
Things in YHZ are good. All AC flying as mentioned above. Right now just 2 day pairings. Usually 3 flights a day. Combination of return flights to YOW YDF YQX and YYR. It’s very much an AC operation, feels like my old days at Air Nova. (I didn’t come here from JAZZ, just for the record) The AC CSR’s...

Re: JD Irving Ad
I spent 18 years there. Great bunch of people to work with, miss most of them 😉. The Irving family were really good to me, and as mentioned in a previous the job security is second to none for aviation. The Rothesay, Quispamsis area is a great, safe, place to raise a family. If you are interested in...

Re: Transat or Porter?
Bede is right, both good airlines, but there is only one sure bet for 20 years down the road, and like it or not that is the big red maple leaf.

Re: PAL
My guess you’ll hear back next week. HR took forever to get me an official written job offer, even after the chief pilot had me scheduled for training.

Re: How long til $100k?
It took me 6 years from when I started flying professionally in 1992 to crack $100K in today’s dollars. When I upgraded to the left seat at Air Nova in 1998 I was making $69K which according to the inflation calculator is roughly $119K in today’s dollars. Sad thing is, try and find a first year Dash...

:) Where is all the airline hiring going on at? From all the applications I’ve submitted, with only 1 :) interview offer so far, airlines in Canada aren’t hire anyone with my type of experience.

Re: Corporate Captain or Airline FO?
I’ve been in this business for 30 years. If you are flip flopping on corporate or airline, go airline now. The hiring frenzy is not gonna go on forever and you’ll want to secure your seniority number as soon as possible for when the slowdown comes. It’s easier to go corporate afterwards if you don’...

Re: Forest Protection Limited Shadow Role
Gonna be hard finding someone with 3000hrs to fly a C208 on a seasonal contract.
I’d apply anyway if I were you, 1800hrs and time on type might do the trick if the resume pile is real thin.

Re: PAL getting 2 more tails
No low timers in the left seat. They have hired some pretty experienced captains.
