Re: YYC Reductions
Yes, Company wants to open YTZ base, 10 CA and 10FO. Reductions to both the Q400 and RJ roster in YYC. Union and Company still have to sort this out. Equipment Bid should be out soon.

Re: Serious Question on the Qatari 748
It is not a full comparison to what the VC-25B's are. It is said the aircraft will likely only be used domestically as it cannot measure up to fly overseas with the same "protections". The aircraft was stripped down to a point supposedly to check for "bugs", put back together with addition of milita...

Re: Middle East conflicts affecting Canada?
You have already stated the obvious, increased fuel prices. That will get passed down to the consumer level. Keep in mind that these increased fuel prices will have an impact on all consumer goods. You may see reduced travel demand as costs soar. A long and protracted war will have a disastrous effe...

Re: Upcoming Ground Schools
You may not agree with the process, however those with a standing bid get priority as they are on the "property". Most of the new hires are being placed on the Q and are based either YVR or YYC.

Contact your CAME. If you know what medication is likely to be prescribed tell them and they can find out what the implication of your licence validity will be.

Re: YYC Base
Whats the updates on YYC base. Q or RJ doesn't matter. Are they looking for staff? Looking for staff is not base specific. As it stands now, there is not much flying out of YYC so a lot of the pairings will start and end with a DH. YYC is typically the "entry portal" along with YVR for Q new hire c...

Re: Cognitive test AC
The MMPI is not defined as a cognitive test. Once upon a time in addition to the MMPI they also administered a cog test to the candidate on a computer. Not sure if they still do it. The MMPI is a personality test.

Given the nature of labour contracts in this country the typical scenario where a TFW shows up on contract working for a...

Re: Tax SeasonDeductibles for Pilots
Fees you pay out of pocket to maintain your licence are deemed tax deductible, i.e. your medical. Meals and lodging can also be deductible provided you paid out of pocket. Any reimbursements you receive cannot be deducted. If you receive a per diem, no tax deduction is allowed. You will have to have...

It sounds as if said individuals who have had their courses cancelled are on their way to AC. New Equipment bid coming out today should enhance the picture somewhat. No Reductions per se, however vacancies primarily out East.

For what it's worth, I heard a rumour that the ADB does not meet spec in that the booklet is required to be stich bound and not stapled. If in fact this is true then you can expect TC will issue new ADB's.

Re: Getting stationed out of YYZ
Most new hires on the Q end up with YYC. Some will transfer during course to YVR. There are some who later transfer to YYZ through standing bid. Not sure about the RJ, but imagine close to the same. As for Embraer, they end up with either YUL or YYZ. I doubt thinking you can do a DEC to any 705 carr...

If you pass the lantern test, it goes on your file and you will never get the test administered again. Theoretically colour vision...
