From my company’s jumpseat handbook. Wouldn't that be for company personnel? I'd find it hard to believe that a 1900 pilot jumpseating on a 747 at a different company would be considered a crewmember. Our handbook says no drinking on any carrier. Could be bs but I don’t care enough to look any deep...

From my company’s jumpseat handbook.

You need to ask yourself a serious set of questions. Do you want to make money? Do you want to have a family? Do you want to have a social life? Do you want to be able to make your own choices? If you have answered yes to any of these, you should consider banking. The aviation industry is booming r...

I found the guy on linked in. I was surprised to see he has his 6 months at westjet listed there. Looks like he ended up flying king airs after his situation at west jet.

Here's my 2 cents worth.... I have actually been in that kind of situation before. In the 90's I worked as an FO for about a 1.5 yrs on a high performance airplane. It was my first flying job, hired at low time hrs (500), knew nothing about commercial aviation, and I was older than most of my capta...

Has anyone applied? I’m curious what they are offering. Not that I have any intention of going there.

It’s legit. I had a look at the TAF last night.

Rent a cop. Mall cop...... but then I’ve seen mall cops do more to protect the public by throwing out the junkies and mentally deranged from shopping malls. These guys are more about taking away pilots coffees and passengers toothpaste. I have infinite more respect for a mall cop than a screener. M...

After you have your ppc and have a sticker or signature in your book how would the gate agents ever find out you haven’t done your line check?

And they're everyone else? Delta, United, American, Alaskan, Hawaiian, Jetblue... even Spirit have various international pay premiums. Maybe your "everyone else" are missing out? I’m certainly not against anyone making extra cash but to me it seems like a weird way to make it. Is following the mage...

Every other airline in Canada as far as I know.

Is that really complicated?

Way more complicated than it needs to be. Why not pay a flat hourly rate like everyone else?

Nav pay is paid when operating a NB aircraft on any flight operation that departs and/or arrives outside of Canada, the United States (excluding Hawaii), Mexico, the Bahamas and the Territorial Collectivity of Saint-Pierre-et-Miquelon, or other mutually agreed routes. It is also paid in monthly gua...

Fucking A we get paid more to fly at night.
And we get paid more premium to fly overseas.
And we get Nav pay.
And we get a blended rate when we do training or collect a guarantee, 1/2 day/night.

Why don't you?

What is the Nav pay?

Less than a year. That was with the east coast wx as well. You could probably go from 0 to commercial multi IFR in 9 months or so if you really hammer down and have good wx and airplane availability.

Has anyone ever gotten in trouble or even questioned about the 200/3000 rule? It’s probably the most frequently broken rule in Canada and nobody seems to care as far as I can tell.

Does anyone know what their most current pay scale is for FOs? Is the collective agreement 3 still the latest one?Also, when is the next GS scheduled for? Got the email saying I was successful in the interview. Any idea about more probable base (YYZ or YUL) for upcoming class? Upgrade times? Super ...

We’ve all flown with one or two of these guys. If you’re at a reputable company you can report it to the training department or SMS it. If others do the same it will probably be taken care of. At a smaller or sketchy operation there isn’t much you can do other than talk to them and management about ...

Flight Dispatch is such an underrated career. It’s the perfect “fallback” career if you lose your medical. None of those degrees you get during flight training will be useful as a fallback. It’s only good to tick off a box at a mainline job. I’m fortunate enough to have worked as a flight dispatche...

So basically you have 2 years of schooling and nothing to show for it. Assuming it is the schools fault and not yours that’s quite the ridiculous time line you’re working on. For comparison, I went from 0 to commercial multi, IFR in less than a year.

Don’t do it! Live where your job is and use your travel benefits to visit. Commuting will kill you. I commuted from YYZ-YUL for 6 months and that was bad enough.

Take it to a good dry cleaner. I’ve had shirts I’ve been going to throw in the trash and my guy made them good as new. The chemicals they use will probably give me skin cancer but damn to my shirts look good.
