Pretty easy decision if given the choice. Encore has progression to the left seat and movement to the mainline carrier. Good stable company to get in with. Jazz does not have progression to the left seat within 5 years (at best). Jazz does not have progression to mainline. Although jazz is a great p...

Got an email today from the college of pilots wanting a renewal of my membership. In my opinion this drive seems to be lacking momentum. with only 1100 odd members registered, I`m disappointed to say the least. With this kind of turn out what kind of clout can they carry? I already pay union dues an...

Obbie, from what I see on this thread your over there in Qatar. Im curious what you have to say about life,pay,flying,outlook coming from someone who is from these parts (Canada) and flying over there. Pm if you prefer.

Yes your correct you need a ATPL to work at Air Canada not the case at Jazz. People have been hired without it but had to actually have it when you start. And yes Experience is not what sets you apart from others, they hire based on the computer exams (psych eval). So dosent matter if someone says t...

People with less than 2000 hours are getting on at Air Canada. I would be applying there aswell.

FYI I`ve seen guys getting on at Jazz with 600TT

Just got a PM from the best source possible on this site. My original question is infact a rumor and a bad one. If you were to apply for both positions they might ask you which one you prefer, which is fair ball I think. Carry on..

I`ve heard rumors about guys doing a westjet interview at mainline and being asked if they would work for encore? These are guys I assume that applied for a mainline position and were then doing a interview for a mainline position. I was turned off hearing this. Is this going to be the Norm now, ask...

Jazz was approached by Transat as was Enerjet and the likes for quotes etc. Jazz said Flat out, NO. After the disappointment that was TC maybe they know there limits.

Just throwing this out there to people that can take a contract overseas for short periods and make very decent cash. Who knows maybe make sexy time on this one

Sharing that wealth across the board equated to what exactly? 1 dollar per hour for everyone?

Please tell me for the love of god that the pilots wont be grooming all these Q400s ontop of such a piss poor salary.

WOW!! hearing those questions from the senators was just hilarious. They need a good briefing on how licensing and hiring goes because from those questions they are totally in the dark.

Inverted2 that egzact statement has been repeated over and over again for the last well..... 10 years.?

1 dollar per hour pay uplift across the board with the 757`s. SOOO that eqautes to an extra 80 bucks to all Jazz pilots every 2 weeks? every month?. would the depth of expertise on this webboard like to give an actual number..

Please refresh my memory what the pilots of Air Ontario were out for?

Sooo its Canjet your talking about then?

Got an email today from Westjet apolgizeing for my experience. I use Westjet very regularly with getting to work/ getting home. The email explains that if one of there flights in the triangle is late by 30 min or cancelled the next flight you book will be discounted at 50% (on the same flight leg I ...

MBav8r, for christs sake enough already with the snively posts. Enough already with turning every thread under the sun into about Jazz.

Its about time.

Or can any of these college kids move on to better gigs? Yes at 21 years old right seat of the dash or rj might be pretty sweet. But to move up or on from there could be difficult. Brilliant move by mgt, keep a steady stream of grads to plug that never ending treadmill that is the f/o seniority list.

That lucky charm will hurt at some point.
