Westjet and Encore are 2 different companies with separate AOC's and hiring processes. They only have the same owners. Let me know when someone in the WJ accepts an offer from encore....AC used to own Jazz, and I sure wasn't accepting a job at Jazz when I was in the AC pool. Pay, etc at Encore is an...

Hopefully not true,

The lawyers are gonna have a field day with this, as they should. I hope the judge or whoever throws the book at Delta, assuming this information is the complete picture. That’s how the system is disciplined, through financial pain, and then people who don’t even deserve a PPL are forcibly removed ...

For a bit of context Investigation Report A07O0124 https://www.tsb.gc.ca/eng/rapports-reports/aviation/2007/a07o0124/a07o0124.html What is the context here? That a hard landing in a CRJ can result in a gear collapse. A potential parallel being a crosswind landing and a lower time FO at the controls...

On a different note, kudos to the FAs getting the doors open and everyone out. Must be disorienting opening while upside down. No slides deployed? Wouldn't they deploy from the floor? which in this case is 'up'? No slides on the RJ Agreed, CRJ 700/900 intentionally sit "nose low" on the ground to r...

As a former commuter, the whole thing is a mess. First item, in the US, the FAA has capped Airport Improvement fees at $4.50. In Canada, because of the "not-for-profit" Airport Authorities who still have to pay rent to the Federal Government, there's no desire for Governments to cap the amount of A...

That's been part of the NPA for years. I'm hoping TC can make progress this year. The NPA had some ridiculous proposals for the north, where there is no weather reporting. If there is different approach bans for different lighting (as there should), it would be reflected on the plate. For example: ...

Two words 'Career FO" may happen.

No, if you have a valid medical they can only gather info from the questionnaire and if they do their own medical evaluation. What VD, sorry STI, you've had isn't their business unless they find you scratching during their exam.

Pre employment drug tests go beyond Cat 1.

It’s not discrimination at all.

Excessive liver enzymes are bad too......#milkthistle

Did anyone expect any different? The only two rail companies just happen to come to a labour impasse with Teamsters at the exactly same time. I'm sure that's just a coincidence. If ALPA were to do the same thing with AC and WJ you'd have to expect the same result. Singh as always blowing sunshine. I...

Calling for speeds low at 70kts indicates they clearly didn't think they had an issue or just called for it out if habit. Going over by 15ft could have been avoided by that action alone. Complacency fits in here nicely.

Or WJ just locks them out like they did the AME's. WJ's only error is they didn't force things in January because pilots don't like the cold and their Christmas visa bills need to be paid.

Jazz is on a status pay scale.

BA used to be, not sure about that now, Sr captains would bid down to the narrow bodies once they got sick of long haul and the toll it takes on the body.

Similar to Calm Air 42 in Naujaat/Repulse Bay (CYUT) a few years ago but thankfully way less damage?

In YFB or YZF or rotating thru. There's a premium for everything in the North.

Maybe someone can post the current contract, it’s union so the cba’s public Bond 1 year $6,000 for perimeter FO, prorated – better than others $15,000 B1900 bond at PAL, $15,790 at Skylink, ??? $12,000 Carson, other metro $18000 bond Why go to other places when the bond's less at perimeter? Why go ...

Positive space for sure. However if they are not able to get positive space then at the very least B1 passes or else take the B1 passes away from managers too. There is not going to be any issues with other bargaining groups. The nurses always know that Doctor’s have certain privileges that are hig...

Not BS. My friend had an ATPL. My reply was to a member who said they didn’t understand HR at times and I gave an example of not understanding HR at times. Yeah but your situation and your example do not connect at all. In one post you say that you're an ATPL candidate and in your example your frie...

I'm not sure why pilot utilization is lower today. It's a general industry trend across all 704/705 lite. 1000hrs a year is the current limit, but that's still only 5.5hrs a day working 15 days/month. Not a whole ton of flying. Is it a lack of support and pilots are wasting duty time on tertiary du...

Should keep the Swoop table on as a reminder for future reference that someone whored their selves out for less than 100k/yr to fly a 737. Agreed, It's perfect for the next low cost carrier to reference so they know just how little pilots will actually work for and to remind the current ones how fa...

Bit of an insult to say shitty pilots. Maybe pilots with shitty training due to working for shitty companies and a lack of good Metro sims. I mean to say that they lack experience. What does a typical Metro FO have today? 250 hours? Not even enough PIC to get PICUS. What does a typical Metro captai...

Well done, hindsight is 20/20 and green is green.

Life experience often teaches you to undo whatever action you did prior to the issue, in this case they switched fuel tanks. Hopefully Sault College teaches that concept

From TSB..... "C-FPQQ, a Beech B200 operated by Keewatin Air LP., was conducting flight KEW213-M from Winnipeg/James Armstrong Richardson Intl Airport (CYWG), MB to Churchill Airport (CYYQ), MB. Shortly after takeoff, the #2 engine (Pratt & Whitney Canada PT6A-42) torque rolled back. The flight cre...

Glad to see everyone is walking away from it. Tindi’s Twin Otters have unlucky/lucky lately with bent metal being the issue. Marginal ski flying in high winds with low vis due blowing snow over frozen lakes has caused more than a few accidents. I can think of a few that thankfully ended with everyo...
