not everyone does that, Narrow Body is capped at 16, so 19 if you are really unluck and get art + 2 sim in the same month. Wide body is also a different animal with it's own different fatigue rule. I can't speak about them, but they often fly with an extra 1-2 pilots and get to sleep at some point ...

Don't come here. Management doesn't seem to know what's going on. Communication is vague here. Over a 100 pilots will soon be forced to commute or uproot their families in November and they will do it again. They didn't learn when they closed the Encore YYZ base which resulted in lots quiting. Now ...

Battered pilot syndrome.
Don’t forget your blue gloves on your next pairing


Yeah dude, every major airline is doing it wrong.
Classic coolaid w/ #1 blue dye

How many major airlines in the USA and Europe have socialized bidding ?

Seniority bidding allows crews to decide if they want the lifestyle or the upgrade which is a win/win.

And yes don’t forget to groom the plane on your commute flight home like a good little goyim.

How much growth has WestJet had in the last 10 years ?
Cancelled WB orders, Q400 parked without crews and the incoming MAX10 (lolol) are just going to replace the old 700s. 10 years in the company and guys can’t even hold a block on the Dreamliner on the right seat.

This my opinion. If you are 35 or younger, you are probably better off going to WestJet. Even if you end up waiting 10 years for an upgrade, you still have potentially 20 years left in that left seat. And remember, if you upgrade at year 10, you go straight to year 10 captain scale. And while you w...

Why should they stay ?
This company is awful.

All they have to do to accommodate them is offer them Q400 DEC at Encore or flight attendant positions.

Go on ….

Ladies and gentlemen, I present you your next Jazz Captain.

Is the Hawaiian cargo story the best they could come up with ?

More like 15 years if you want to be a block holder in YYC.

Imagine shitting on the Jazz boomers/X-ers when you took a fucking seat at Scab … Jesus Christ

At least AC pilots retire at 65 …

Speaking of CBA violation, WestJet already has a grievance filed against them for placing newly integrated Sunwing capts on a lower pay step and refusing to respect their full length of service.

Can't have layoffs until fall 2026 unless there's a major event that cause a significant grounding of the fleet and then it would be way more than 100 pilots.

It's in the arbitration award that nobody read apparently.

I’m sure someone can provide the exact number, but I think even the best year I’ve seen (in 10 years here) was around 80 upgrades. So with 1000 FOs it’s not hard to do the math to know what to expect. Especially with the widebody ‘trial’ looking like it won’t be grown anymore. Add into that the AR ...

Probably the best advice right now is if you are at a place you don’t mind it’s worth staying at your current company. Every airline is going to be affected by the tariffs and I bet even high level execs at the companies don’t know what things will look like in 3/6/12 months from now. It could be a...

It’s not even about reciprocal tariffs. It’s about the USA trade deficit. Look at the formula they use to calculate their rates. It’s literally (exports - imports) / imports https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c93gq72n7y1o My point exactly… they tried to obscure it by multiplying 4x0.25 :lol: :lol:
