Search negotech it has all CBA’s in Canada

Lots of narrow body WJ guys working 8-10 days a month it all depends what you want to bid for. Not going to argue with that, but I know for a fact there are at least 3-5 brand new 37 Capt’s (what’s that like 5-7 year wait) who would leave tomorrow for a new hire job at AC because they work every mo...

You also don’t get frost when it’s really cold like -35 and below because the air has no moisture then

Did you really buy a seat, or were you essentially assigned a free standby seat? If it was free you should probably just be grateful you got a seat and not complain. If you paid for it and you really want/need the space, you're going to have to risk hurting someone's feelings to get it. If you're u...

The ONLY thing is if the DOM didn’t realize that was someone’s parking spot and perhaps it wasn’t the first time they had someone steal it so they were fed up. Still a quick “who’s plane is in my spot?” Is more appropriate

Very few airplanes I know of can take more than 10kts on the tail as per the AFM, Q400 being on of them where it’s approved up to 20kts but no contam and a bunch of other restrictions.

. Local Canadian news asking why missile detection and deterrent equipment not installed on civil aircraft like it is on AirForce One.

What goods detection without chaff flares and ECM pods? Airforce 1 has those too

I think Voyager had some on their airplanes actually

They never said it was a technical issue with the aircraft...

The degree is already subsidized though So the government goes ahead and -- for argument's sake -- fully subsidizes pilot training. 100%. Mom and Dad say to Johnny, "go try out that pilot thing". "That's a respectable career". Will the quality of the average FO coming on the line, get better or wor...

The degree is already subsidized though

Your degree you were taking was subsidized by the government, so in a way everything you learnt until you had to drop out indirectly subsidized your business.

This isn’t an argument about if a degree helps a pilot be a pilot but more one of whether the training to be a pilot should be subsidized.

With the amount of training AC needs to do I doubt you will find much SIM time available right now

If YYC is 4 years would it be safe to assume someone wanting to get out to YVR is going to be 6 years for an FO seat ?

Rookie do you have any post secondary?

save up enough to do all of your private + some additional contingency cash. It will take way longer and cost way more in the long run if you have to spread the training out because you run out of cash half way.

More importantly if your kid is sick enough to be puking maybe it’s best you delay your trip a bit and not be so selfish. The kid obviously feels like shit let them rest at home.

Hi FlyAlberta! I get it might not be exact dollars but my understanding is it’s $28,800 over 24 months. This keeps you topped up until you hit step 3 pay after 2 years. Still a fantastic uplift vs starting back at starting WJ wage sorry to mislead by saying “no pay cut”. I guess I should have said ...

Exactly just because Canadian ATC does it as a best practice doesn’t mean you can trust ATC elsewhere to do it as well.

Unfortunately, you can't claim this tax credit anymore. It has been eliminated for 2016.

You are thinking of the tax credit civilian pilots got during UN deployments like voyager and R1

Any truth the the rumour that swoop made up their own SOP’s because WestJets SOP’s were too restrictive?

Stock price today is still higher than it was a year ago before the max got grounded

So? There is great need for skilled engineers, doctors, surgeons, businesspeople, firefighters, accountants, and many other professions. Why do you imply pilots add more value to society, and therefore society should pay their training costs, while the pilot ultimately reaps the rewards? I don't ag...

No there's not. What there is is a shortage of is family doctors in rural areas. Indeed. And there's a shortage of rural doctors because our government no longer provides funding for the education specifically of them. This topic came up the other day, when I happened to run into the old guy who de...

When I left there was no ability to jump seat on Swoop even though you flew there. The PTA (pilot transfer agreement) should be resolved one way or another soon enough. You most likely will be better off going to WJ/Encore in regards to commuting, schedule bidding, fatigue mitigation, support, bene...
