Maybe it's time to propose to the US that Canada would drop cabbotage laws in exchange for green cards or work permits for Canadian pilots. Win-win :mrgreen: Ha, Canadian airlines would go tits up in a heartbeat without their endless supply of cheap labor. Eliminating cabotage would just be comic o...

Ha. There's hope for you yet, AvCanada.

I'll second what airways said except for this. Mortgage rates are dirt cheap nowadays. I'm seeing rates in the mid 1% range. They are unlikely to go up anytime soon. You should invest any extra money you have allocated for additional mortgage payments. Even a conservative 60/40 portfolio will give ...

You sure about that?

Yes, I'm sure its unlikely. I'm also sure its not impossible.

4. Buy a house and pay it off as soon as possible. Don't buy until you know you are staying for at least 5 years. Every time you move you will lose approximately $15,000 in fees and moving expenses. Generally, it is best to reduce other investments until it is paid off. Try to get a high enough dow...

Neither was brexit. Still super annoying.

This deal need to f&@k off already. Either way, I don't even care.

Its worse than brexit.

All very good points above and I agree with double edged sword. Don't get me wrong, there is a calculated risk involved with what they are doing, but the rewards for it being successful are quite huge. They are trying to time the expansion with the mass vaccination roll out by summer. Keep in mind,...

Yeah. Ability to endure contradiction is a high sign of culture.

I've heard total layoff, including the current layoff, will total 1500 pilots next few months.

Could be a quick recall for the uppermost most layoffs though.

I heard 10,000.

It’s a business who’s goal is to make money!

You're right, it is a business. Stop pretending like the airlines are a socialized state entity... only when things are bad, of course.

The general public has seen airline profits increase while their legroom has decreased, and while they've had to fork over additional cash for baggage fees, fuel surcharges and meals. The general public is quasi aware of the shenanigans the current duopoly in Canada has been pulling. They are oppose...

Probably not gonna sell so well anymore... or are they!?

Theres no way Captain Kirk would settle for a regional career. Just saying

The rich slut thats running this garbage-dump of a site should really change the name.

Yeah... don't hold your breath.

Seniority: WestJet/Swoop are common employer, you would be BOTL. Encore seniority currently does not factor on WestJet lists ( hopefully fixed soon ) This should be the single biggest concern for anyone considering going to WestJet "OTS", by far! Huge dice roll.

Job posting for Captains and FOs on their 737.

What is at play here goes beyond AC, beyond aviation.

We're marching into neo-feudalism at full speed!

Its pretty much a done deal when you have well indoctrinated peasants telling other peasants to Get over it, go back to you plow somewhere.

When are passengers going to want to get back on that plane? That's the real question. As someone else said, by the time the plane returns to service people will have moved on to the next Facebook crisis. Also if the airlines make Max seats $25 cheaper than other types they’ll fill the plane Swoop ...

18 planes eh...

I read recently that tourism on the island was tanking. I wonder how much that had to do with it.
