You don't know what they've done, what they went through or how they performed. since the beginning of this pml concept with jazz and the SR c...

Re: The Air Canada OTS thread

There are some pilots who have now taken very expeditious paths to Air Canada, good for them, who cares? If you always wanted to fly for AC why does that make you want to any less? as far as I enjoy reading your posts Stig, this is the wrong thinking in the industry right now. the "who cares" and "...

Re: When will the movement slow down or stop?

music will stop when people start defaulting on their car and credit card payments, goodbye airplane tickets, welcome bus/train tickets, goodbye holidays. nobody knows when that will happen. as for hiring, stop taking low paying jobs and in the end, salaries might increase. don't forget the airline ...

Re: Is anyone seeing pay increases?

shortage in mom and pop ops certainly : low timers have understood that the shortest way to airlines is the regional way and not the mom and pop way anymore.

Re: Could NAFTA negotiations help pilots

what he said, and if Nafta negociations happen, transportation agreement may not be a the top of the list.

Re: Westjet Pilots Vote Against Expanding Widebody Fleet

so how come delta is able to generate a 28% op margin AND increasing pay ?
SouthWest 22% and they have the best paid pilots in the country (hear say) ?
jetblue is not far behind.

So, what's so specially different in Canada ?
