:oops: 6.35 hours per day. That’s horrible. Works for me, that's actual flight time. With trip rigs and the rest, the credit ends up being more. So like I said I work 12 days a month. And that's not doing single days. Guys working single days work less days. Lots of variety for what ever work you pr...

I've been blocked close to 85(credit, actual flight time was less) hours during the winter months, spring and now summer has been right around 77.5. OT is almost always available from my experience. I am working 12 days/month, every month other than vacation months. And the trips seem to be getting ...

Really depends what you bid for. I bid a very basic line. I like working multi-day pairings, and don't care where I go. And ask for the days off I want, and I get 95% of my days off every month on avarage. I almost always work 3 four day trips per month and that's it. 2 four trips with one block of ...

Well then have fun jerking each other off into misery for the next 4 years. If the language is strong, this will get voted in. And you will remain miserable as always. Why not look on the bright side for a change? I'm done stating my opinion here, because I'm realizing more and more the majority whi...

To those who don't think 23.5% raise over 4 years is enough, that scope protection and dismantling of swoop is not enough, integrating sunwing under one employer. Countless life style improvements. I suggest you do your self and the rest of us a favor and leave Westjet and Canadian Aviation, you are...

23.5% raise over 4 years Plus 19.1% "wsp", of which 9.1% is added to the pay scale, 10% added to the account. With 0% pilot contribution. Plus other good stuff. Not bad. How did you come up with 19.1%? According to the summary, the WSP will be 10%. Of that 10% wsp 9.1% would be added to the hourly ...

23.5% raise over 4 years

Plus

19.1% "wsp", of which 9.1% is added to the pay scale, 10% added to the account. With 0% pilot contribution.

Plus other good stuff.

Not bad.

Here is the thing, they aren't messing with "me". They are running a business. Shit happens. Nothing we can do to stop them. I understand they are closing the encore base. I feel for those affected. But that is life, no amount of worry or complaining or lobbying will change the decisions of managem...

Actually no, I am YYZ based. I'm just not a nut case believing the YYZ base is going to shut down or anything of that nature. That is wild crazy speculation that some guys are just lovingly clinging to to make them selves miserable. I am not worried about the future,( and no I don't believe a word ...

Trust has nothing to do with it, none of us trust the management. I just choose not to be obsessed with this.. life is good. If one wants to be consumed by this and hang on every decision and word of our leadership.. life will be hard. Thats all I'm saying. Moving on. It must be nice not having to ...

You guys realize that the comments made by the CEO, however disgusting and embarrassing is just classic Union busting techniques. Nothing more, it's just business. We are throwing our punches and they will throw theirs. Move along, a few months from now this will all be in the rear view mirror. If ...

Just another opinion here.. Been at Westjet for almost 9 years, have held and lived in all 3 bases. I get a pretty good schedule most months, have excellent vacation and have alot of fun with the crews I fly with. I collect the pay I signed up for, and don't bring work home, EVER. I view this as a j...

Well.. you guys are hopeless. Continue bitching and moaning.. see how far that gets you. If I can make it work as a Westjet FO and save a shit load of money every year... I don't understand how everyone else can't. And yes I have a family and dependants. Maybe learning about personal finances is a g...

Absolutely. Don't forget how those aircraft first got off the ground, with scab pilots. Swoop was and is a union busting "airline".. that's it's only purpose of existing. Sure, you can argue that it was intended as a union busting airline, but it is and has been for years part of the exact same pil...

There's nothing wrong with trying to fix up your neighbourhood and making it better for everyone instead of moving to a new neighbourhood. I wouldn't say things are terrible, but I am not blind to the plans that are in play. Quitting and moving on are a product of age. If you are young and have the...

The reason that pilots bitch so much yet refuse to leave the company that they supposedly despise is because of seniority. You hate the place but leaving means you’d have to start over at the bottom somewhere else. Being junior sucks, even if the airline might actually have a better culture or bett...

Pointed at no one in particular. All I can say is this.. You can be a delusional hater.. thinking that the company is always out to get you, their sole goal is to wreck your tiny butt.. and to ruin your career. You can go through your entire career, stressed, scared.. annoy the hell out of the peopl...

PFO email received, 6 weeks and a few days after the interview. What's the consensus on the PFO email? Are you completely SOL? Do they just put you in a pool and pick from as necessary? Allowed to re-apply? Anybody know anyone that got a PFO and then successfully got hired later on? Told I can re-a...

PFO email received, 6 weeks and a few days after the interview. Sorry to hear that MP. I hit 6 weeks recently and I even checked my junk mail for the PFO. Don’t see anything. Starting to feel like this isn’t gonna workout in my favour. :? Good luck to everyone else. Good luck! The wait is definitel...
