Good God I hope not.

I'm sure working as a pilot in Russia is the same as working as a pilot in Canada.
A big, northern country. It's cold. The money sucks. Shitty airplanes. You have to deal with Russian (French).
May as well stay at home. Then again the Vodka may be cheaper.

Do you think it's that simple?

I enjoy not working Mon-Fri 9-5, and I enjoy take-offs and landing.
Absolutely everything else makes me want to find a better industry.

How much do F/Os fly?
I have 236TT, 42.1 multi.
If I get a PA31 type rating, would I be more competitive?

Seniority is everything...I'd be rushing too.

Such as? (it's actually a genuine question).
I'm assuming you mean captains with time on medium jets? A320, 737, etc?

Is it possible to get in at Westjet without internal references?
If so, how?

I'm excited for the pilot shortage, maybe I will finally make something livable.

Congratulations!

oooo....details?

Since a low cost carrier is imminent for our national carrier to remain competitive and stand a chance to compete against other airlines in Canada... The article in the G&M stated that it would be YVR based and fly to Asia. Not much competition on those routes from within Canada. Further, does anyo...

"Rent Jang" -

I have a few questions, and they aren't meant to be rhetorical or smart-ass. 1) Were they holding at YYZ before they attempted an approach? If so, for how long? 2) When was the emergency declared? 3) Can the pilots expect to face any disciplinary action (not suggesting that they should ... just aski...

Just leave it.

"At this time we are only considering Learjet experienced and qualified pilots with current PPC's. Full time employment will be considered at a later date. Only emails at the above address will be accepted. Phone calls will be considered disqualifying" How many experienced, qualified, and current Le...

Agreed!

There is a lot of truth in this thread.

mbav8r - take it easy. AC pilot's beef is not with you, it's with the system. Relax.

Approx 60% so spending 5 years as a: B777 CA at $230K T4, pension is $140K B767 CA at $200K T4, pension is $120K A320 CA at $160K T4, pension is $90K As is evident by these numbers, a WJ B737 CA makes about the same T4 as an AC B767 CA, but without a pension. Also, a new hire WJ pilot will presentl...

For all intensive purposes its the same thing. You should of not let it bother you, your just out to find escape goats for everything! Irregardless of what you think it is, other people will have they're own reasons for pronouncing it that way. I could care less, it's a mute point. You really shoul...

Thanks for the heads up, but I don't think this question is unfair; just equally as useless as most other questions asked in a lot of interviews these days.
Also, I wouldn't consider it an "affirmative action" question.

Not to move away from the topic at hand, but why do so many on here seem to want to see the demise of AC and the loss of thousands of jobs?

Thanks so much.

What percentage of new hires are fired while on probation?
