Thanks Eric…I’ve seen a lot of firm landings in my day, but never a bounce and up again of that magnitude. cheers

Hi All…was witness to a very hard bounce and landing on RWY 32 today in CYOW (30Mar24). The aircraft hit and bounced at least 15’ back into the air and it looked they initiated a G/A and then levelled out and then came back down. Hope there were no injuries and the aircraft was OK. As I’m no Airbus ...

The YYC CRJ bidpack for OCT shows only 29 departures out of CYYC for the entire month of October! All the rest of the flying starts with a DH to another base to commence flying duties. The pairings end with a DH home to CYYC. Not a great use of pilots is it Jazz???

I guess you’d have to be at Jazz to understand the very real existential threat we face I would not have expected pilots to be this scared during the largest pilot shortage in the history of aviation. You literally got scared into a yes vote Don’t forget…our pilot rosters are 75% made up of pilots ...

New Flair flight crew uniforms….thoughts?

The 2015 contract was necessary to ensure the long term viability of the CPA as we had GGN and SKY breathing down our necks with lower labour costs. With that 2015 contract we were able to entice a lot of tenured, DB pension Jazz guys to leave for AC thereby making Jazz a more competitive to compet...

Liam, My sincere condolences to you and the rest of your family… 🙏🏻 I remember running into your dad several times on the docks in both Deer Lake and Red Lake, ON. I flew a C-206B for Reid’s Resorts (Long-Legged Lake) back in 1979 and always heard great things about your dad. Keep those memories clo...

FYI…I purchased Apple AirTags on Amazon for $32.00ea (4pack $129.00)…put them in every bag I own! Now, I will know where my bag is WITHOUT the usual AC baggage services runaround! Slick operation those AirTags!

Bid is out…0315 UTC (21MAY2022) Looks like 481 ‘new’ pilot positions at Jazz up to and including 01APR2023. Welcome on board y’all!

thanks for the info… ))

Could someone in-the-know please explain what ‘over-seas’ and ‘nav-aid’ pay are for? Are these premiums left-over from the dark ages of flying at AC? thanks

Open the vaults!!! 🏦 Looks like the Company (Jazz Aviation) is being forced to penny up to the bar!!!

Thanks for the good Sunday morning laughs…spot on I’d say…!!! It’s going to be a sad day if ALL Canadian pilots allow this Mexican adventure to continue and thrive. We all need to take a serious look at this or the next wave of migrant workers living in communal housing in YHM will be looking for co...

So…still no actual start date to resume any kind of operations? I see the aircraft sitting in YUL…sad. Feel very sad for our fellow aviators at AT. Wish them back soon…

Anybody else wondering when this Sky Regional Airlines Inc. conference will be deleted? They closed down operations back in March…btw welcome SKR pilots to Jazz!

March 15, 2021 Completion and Ratification of Agreements Ladies and gentlemen, We are pleased to report that Sunday evening we reached an agreement with the Company for the integration of the E175 aircraft and Sky Regional Pilots. Just a few hours ago, the MEC unanimously approved and ratified the f...

Don’t know how this got side-tracked into a discussion about travel benefits but just as an FYI...when our JAZZ crew scheduling department books our DH’s for company operations or we utilize our business profile for booking a banked DH business class seat, all pilots that were hired prior to 2006 ar...

In the completion of a STAR in Canadian airspace I’m just wondering why ATC controllers issue clearances to aircraft that are below STAR published altitudes, especially when aircraft are expected to comply with the speeds/altitudes unless otherwise cancelled? I understand when ATC issues ‘STAR is ca...

Just curious...with the above direct entry captain course planned for Sept 9th, 2019 does this mean that SKR doesn't have any F/O's that are due or qualified for an upgrade??? Kinda sad if they do indeed have some 3-4 year F/O's just chomping at the bid yet the Company might just past them by...???

They do. There are basically no more memory items. They would've pulled up the QRC then moved on to the longer QRH. The difference between the 200 and 900 is that the 200 has a system to more or less restow the reverser if it comes unlocked IRCC. The 900 doesn't. Just because i don’t know is the QR...

I for one being in the airline industry for almost 40 years now will not partake in our new freedom with CDN GOV legislation come Oct 17, 2018.
