I started with a private in high school in 1973. Things were different than but much the same. I have worked with hundreds of F/O's over the years and have always asked them how they got started. The guys I have had the most respect for with regard to ability, work ethic, etc have been the ones that...

It's so simple if you can't commit to the time frame needed to meet the terms of the bond you shouldn't expect anyone to to train you. It's free, just stick around for a year or two. It's fair!!! You will walk away with an endorsement, less debt, more hours and a good resume to offer the next place....

Teacher: This will be my last posting on this subject, it is a reply to your question. The military, they will pay, example to put you through medical school. The bond is commit to 5 more years. There are not a lot of jobs that require a site unseen new employee, requirement of $50,000 to make them ...

Wow Some of you gut's really have your heads up your a____. One guy says " it should work both ways, the pilot should have employment protection" bla bla, who is the one paying the training cost DA!!!. Some point of views are so stupid they are funny. Some are right on the mark. Bottom line if you d...

Guy's Been at this for 4 decades. Bonds are in our industry as already stated because pilots leave their employer after said employer has invested $5000, $10,000 or $50,000 in them. If you owned ABC Aviation a bond I am sure would have some appeal. No one has signed and agreed to the bond without un...

No doubt your stupid posting was to create some sort of response. You got a few suckers. A more likely scenario would be Jazz taking over all or most of the domestic travel when you knobs go bankrupt again. Looking forward to it!

You are an idiot that should keep his or her's uninformed options out of print an to themselves.

I completely agree with the post above!

Some intelligent comments and some really stupid ones. I fly for a major Canadian airline that helps fill Air Canada's seats, guess which one. Through most of the 22 years I have been working here the place has been a revolving door for Air Canada and West jet. Guess what no Training bond. I wish we...

All this banter. Look if you want to fly planes you do what ever is need to get the experience required to move to the level of aviation that is your goal. Work for nothing if you have to. Pilots with nothing or little to offer the market place need to shop at their level of experience. As someone s...

Apparently not, I'm told the Jazz Logo items of the uniform will be removed, for the time being at least.

Jazz is going to do the first flight Nov. 1st, pilot and F/A training has started. The A/C will be in Thomas Cook paint and logo. This is more or less a trial period and if all goes well talks of 767's, A330's and several more 757's.

As a 21 year Jazz employee I have witnessed more than enough of ACPA's bull. Guy's get over it!! Those finding the need to vent, posting that which Jazz may or may-not do, should get educated first. Why continue the bad blood. As a commuter I have spent hundreds of hours in Air Canada's jump seats a...
