To the Transat pilots, Looks like a match to wj on the nb rates, which is a substantial uplift from before ( the previous trz 737 rates were used as the template for Swoop pay rates). These rates put pressure on Sunwing to raise their rates. A great pattern. The blended wb rates is a good score for ...

You could look at it two different ways if you'd like. "One week" of 5 days at 4.5 hours per day or one week of 7 days at 3.21428571 hours if one chooses to add the two day option to a vacation block. Your choice, but the two extra days are not decreasing your days worked that month, just ...

I'm doing a comparison of airline vacation policy and I was hoping someone could help me with a couple questions regarding Westjet's vacation policy. What is your vacation week/years of service matrix. Answer- first 3 years of employment- 2 weeks 4-6 years of employment- 3 weeks 7+ years of employm...

62.09 x 930 x 1.2 company match + 7.3k option replacement. = 76.5k. (Then add whatever you feel perdiems will be). If you came from encore, add 14.4k for each of the first 2 yrs. Why don’t you add in the parking benefit, or dry cleaning allowance, maybe the sick time and why not add the cost of an ...

You forgot overseas and nav pay of $12 & $11 respectively at AC... At most airlines, the AC term "overseas pay" and "nav pay" are called override pay (which was mentioned in my previous post) which could be a special international/special operational theatre override or nigh...

YYC-FCO... the money maker It’s kind of like YYC-DUB, which this summer was half filled with Americans from the West Coast USA. The US3 are not pleased seeing AC/RV pull their passengers out of the USA and send them overseas. Canadian Airlines have a wage and currency advantage. With the WS/DL JV, ...

YYC-FCO... the money maker Total brilliance right there. You mean brilliance like starting routes into YQQ? Or the multiple routes into LAS. Or PSP etc. ? If WS is starting a route into FCO, there is a good reason for it. You do realize the Vice President, Network, Alliances, & Corporate Develo...

I read box 17 and 19. That information is over 2 years old. I trust that Georgian should have the expertise to operate the rj's by now? As well information that is over two years old has nothing to do with how Georgian is operating/crewing their airplanes today. Perhaps Georgian is paying Jazz-like ...

Hi everyone, Not trying to stir the pot regarding pilots being in Canada from other countries. At the end of the day, Canada is a country where everyone is an immigrant. And I wasn't trying to slag kiwis or Aussies specifically. I was just curious if there was a way for people to go and fly in those...

Good day to everyone, I have noticed that there are a ton of foreign sounding accents in Georgian flight decks these days. Anecdotally, I have heard that there are foreign pilots flying Georgian airplanes, such as Aussies and Kiwis. And these pilots are not people that have immigrated to Canada perm...

As someone who has lived this situation before, the answer is obvious to me; multi Pic is king! I was able to parlay my multi-pic in a Seneca 1 flying charters up north for a year into a captain position on a king air in 5 months after getting on the king air. Without the multi-pic, I didn't qualify...

Thanks everyone! And on the training side. Is there any specific titles one would want. Are books like . manuals still used? Or are the all online now

Hi everyone,

Curious as to what all pilots would like to see for sale in a pilot supply shop? Please share examples of anything one can think of. Thanks!

Two Words for me: Student loans. Flying isn't cheap, and neither is university. But with the help of RBC and the government, I was able to get all my ratings and a degree in 4 years. I was able to pay off all the loans in full once I started flying king air 2.5 years after graduating from school. It...

Hey there +Ra, I echo the sentiments of everyone here. This is a very doable situation. In '97 as I was finishing my 2nd year of university, I was able to score my first job as a dockhand. And later on, because of a professor's fascination with all things flying, I was able to do a course that was t...

Awesome!!

Anecdotally I seem to remember that there was only 12 guys that did over 1000 hours. Those numbers are from a couple of years ago. So in response, not that many pilots will be affected by the 1000 hour cap.

Thank you for replying.
I had already read the document. Speaking with my came, he said that tc looks at this on a case by case basis. I'm at the beginning of this journey, and need to start arming myself with information to prove that I will be an acceptable risk going forward.

I am looking at speaking or hearing from people or someone they know that lost their medical because of a higher than normal risk of a stroke occurring, or if they have had a stroke, and tried to get their medical back in either case. I'm aware there is a health and fitness sub-forum, but it's way d...
