Loopa,

Do you speak in full set monologues for entire flights too or just on avcanada? Wow!

BL

It would be a good informative post, if people used the opportunity to name the "good" operators out there. Where can low time guys get a start? Where should you go on the road trip? I am considering a road trip around the same time. Let me know how it goes if you go before me. Glorifieddriver, I d...

Mr. North, I have no problem with anyone professing their love for anyone or anything or standing up for what they believe in! It's when someone directly insults people for making decisions they make for whatever reason they make them, and turns around and does the EXACT same thing they are insultin...

Your seats are not assigned until you check in, maximum 24 hours before the flight. If you look at the seat selection tool now only those seats for which passengers have paid to select them will show as occupied. So therefore, if all the aisles and windows were paid for, then it's completely possib...

esp803,

Neither is $20k a small hit to take on any bottom line.

BL

It is a small and insignificant amount of money for a company who's gross revenue measures in the millions or tens of millions of dollars. It would be like $200 to one of us.... yeah it sucks, but it's not going to kill us. If you found that you were losing $200 all of the time... maybe you'd spend...

Esp803,

My beef is for people who lack morals and respect. It's not small insignificant money we are talking about here. Ask anyone to immediately cough up 1/2 the cost of a CPL-MIFR tomorrow with nothing in return and see how they respond to you.

BL

ESP803,

If the wage was acceptable to him last week, it should be this week after the company spent the money to train him, or pay them back for their costs. It's simple really. You want respect, give respect.

BL

Iflyforpie,

If this company paid that wage and, as you suggest, consider training a cost of doing business, they would have my respect. I highly doubt they would offer both and prove consistently that they won't. Poaching is as morally corrupt as paying a low wage.

BL

PointyEngine,

Obviously you don't have much experience in this industry.

BL

Pointy engine, Look at the bigger picture! Ask yourself "why can they pay this higher wage? Because they didn't foot the $20k training costs. And for that, the f/o makes an extra 11k or so. So who's benefitting here, and who's getting screwed? BL http://www.avcanada.ca/forums2/viewtopic.php?f=54&t=9...

Offer a mildly higher salary and get people to jump ship so you don't have to swallow the cost of a PPC. http://www.avcanada.ca/forums2/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=99898 We have bonds because, god forbid, some companies are willing to pay $11,000 a year more than the guys next door. How dare pilots want to...

Trey Kule, I find the whole OP original story a bit hard to accept. And as its based on third party, unsubstantiated evidence it is really just hearsay....but it did fire up the howling mob...out them you say? Out them...no need to base our opinion on more than this. You mean like yourself calling o...

Senaphone,

The conversion information is accurate.

Good luck

BL, show me where you bitched about Air Canada preferring a Degree from its pilots applicants , any kind of degree, like Liberal Arts. Gilles, Shall I share my opinion of every air service in Canada? One does not need to dig very deep to where I expressed my disdain for the policies of AC and the A...

How many different job required speaking of a second language ? Tons of gov job, customer service etc... required being fluent in a second language ( french ) So what is the problem with transat having the same requirement ? Its a private company they can put the minimum they want Stochey, The prob...

English only becomes a requirement for pilots needing to do international flying, and even then, it's not always the case. Where does Transat fly? English is mandatory, not French! One can fly in Chile, Argentina, Paraguay, Uruguay, Bolivia, Peru, Colombia, Venezuela, Equator, Panama, Costa Rica, E...

In many domains including aviation a French Canadian that speak little or no english is unemployable, most frenchies knows the importance of learning the english language. In comparison, most residents of the english speaking Canada think that learning french is useless, and if interested in learni...
