Re: Air Canada Ultimatum

Ask for a signing bonus up front that you’re confident would grow to the equivalent value of the AC pension at retirement since that’s what you’d be turning your back on.

600k at 5% over 25 years would be about 2mil for example.

Re: Tips

Don’t count on any at airsprint… they tell the clients “don’t worry about tipping the pilots, their tip is built into their pay…” 🙄 I can understand a company not wanting to have a weird dynamic for their clients where tipping is expected. I’m not a waitress so have always felt a bit odd when someo...

Re: Keewatin ad

That reads like an ad to give internal candidates a big advantage in dealing with HR. 4000hrs for a jet captain in the arctic sounds pretty low to me tbh, but maybe not for someone who has been riding right seat for a couple years. Sounds like that’s who they will get, and all power to them. I don’t...

Whoopsies. I guess I just labelled an entire segment of our industry. Sorry ‘bout that. As you wheel through the terminal with your matching bags, don’t worry. Probably no one notices. No one is judging. :)

Re: Recent issues in Red Lake

Idk guys. I feel like I get pretty good service at MFs. Every once in a while at a quiet airport there is a short delay, but I get that it is because they are working multiple frequencies. Maybe if you’ve got some chill pills you can munch on for 5 seconds next time, that’ll take care of the issue. ...

If only there were real experts in the medical field that could be relied on. Then we could just all do what they say and be done with all this having to do the research ourselves.

$2 trillion is a staggering figure that they wasted. 600000ish homeless is USA. Could’ve given them each $3mil. Forty million Americans live in poverty. Could have given them each $50,000.

The back pack pumps I suspect you’re used to seeing are water pumps for fire fighting. Get a battery blanket to wrap it and you’re all set.
