Re: 737 to 787 Upgrade Times

Once Onex takes over, it can fix all that by selling Encore and entering into a long term CPA which guarantees revenue for the new investors.

New Hangar at YYZ?

I noticed a new hangar being built on the south end of the airport next to the Peel Regional Police building. Does anyone know who it's for?

However I have landed myself a green card in the US through marriage. I've converted my AA's over to the FAA, now I'm just looking for a bit of advice. I'm thin...

There is always expansion at Sunwing. Sunwing will have a busier winter season with more flights out of Saskatchewan because Air Transat will no longer fly there this winter. Sunwing will have two aircraft based there; one in Regina and one it Saskatoon (no crew base). Sunwing has announced several ...

Nav Canada Flight Inspection Pilots

Hello Everyone,

I've been curious for a while about working for Nav Canada as a pilot flying their flight inspection aircraft, but I've never seen any job openings for this position.

Does anyone have any info about this? What does attrition, QOL, pay, schedules etc... look like?

Cheers!

Re: 2018 Pilot Hiring

There are plenty of qualified FO's, but like one poster said, they didn't want to give up their senior FO schedules. Also some didn't think their seniority would hold it so they didn't even bid for the upgrade. I'm sure management is going to get a flood of emails from FO's who were under the impres...
