I’m curious, are you building time at all, maybe he thinks he’s helping you with that, if it were me I’d be telling my buddy he pays for the costs or I’m busy that day Nope, not time building towards anything. I've got all the hours I'd ever need. And yeah, I told him that a one way car rental is w...

When you're Step 12, then you can shit on those loser Step 1 pilots.

Rinse. Repeat.

You are an idiot.

I understand compound interest. I also understand that there are scenarios that can exist where pay increases out grow what compounding can achieve. Below is an example of a scenario I threw into ChatGPT. I am not saying this is the case or desirable for our contract. I only choose ballpark numbers ...

You've been beaten down into this mindset. Just because the company says "there's only X amount of money" doesn't make it true....

2% is wrong. My bad 2024 rates First Officer Year 1: AC: $87.48 WJ: $84.26 Percentage - 2.75% First Officer Year 3: AC: $118.47 WJ: $116.66 Percentage: 1.54% So in some cases LESS THAN 2% :shock: I see some talking about 787 rates and saying WJ is lower but they don't have Relief Pilots. So when yo...

Maybe it should be maybe not. However, the Canadian ATPL requirements are for co-pilot time or pic time. An RP is not defined at AC as a First Officer or co-pilot. How TC interprets that could be up to the individual you get at TC. You can still log the time as an RP, the question is can you credit...

I still don’t get doing the journey log in the climb. If it is a long leg, do it in cruise, if it is short do it at the gate at the end of the flight. As to the story; yeah, what is the purpose of VS in that situation anyway. IAS is paramount. Do it in FLCH(Vnav speed window open) or Open Climb or ...

I’m sure there is an exception somewhere in the past, but to be hired by AC you require an ATPL. So nobody is applying for a licence with RP hours, they already have it. Once you have all your licences the only requirement is to keep a personal log. So you can put it in whatever column you like. Fa...

It wasn’t AC, it was another flaky HR department lol. It was definitely very flaky because I’ve sent alot of emails to them during the recruiting process that never got answered. To answer the other guys question, it was the vibe and connection that I experienced with the pilot conducting the inter...

I decided to go overseas to probably the same international airline. On one hand, it was a great decision because hiring has come to a stop at this airline (at least for SO's) and I lucklily squeezed my way in in before that happened. Beats being stuck at a regional while the industry slows down; r...

This thread is exhibit A for the flakiness of Air Canadas HR department. http://www.avcanada.ca/forums2/viewtopic.php?t=108166 Nobody knows the magical formula for getting hired.. so an almost ten year old survey and 96 page thread of what personal experience was and like the markets past performan...

I was flying with the FAs and they are still wearing their green lanyards. What a great crew! Whatever happened to all those World Class Contract lanyards?! They voted down their contract and will be commencing arbitration. We voted for ours. We sure did... Did the FAs give up their bonus?! I am si...

You obviously aren't in the career position that you want to be in yet as you're interviewing for other jobs. That means that you're still in the resume/experience building phase of your career trying to look better and gain the experience to get that job. With very little time at only 2500 hour an...

YHZ used FPA, but close enough.

Don’t believe anything about airplanes until the guy next to you says “V1”

Your post above is irrelevant. Your search was “flight attendant strike”. Google search now curates pictures with flight attendants in it. Try typing in “pilots at flight attendant strike” and you will get photos of pilot strikes and FA strikes. Also, when the news is taking pictures, they want pic...

IIRC I flew with an FO who had mostly helo time with Cougar. That was a few years ago. But it’s all good time. What might make things a little slower, is if you have a little over 2000 hrs fixed plus a year of helo, I’m guessing you might be at max 2800 hrs total? That could be a little short depend...

This bid like many is just a paperwork exercise. It shows 125 new hires for the next 12 months. Yet the ground school rates will have us hiring 160 by Christmas. As with most things in this industry, don’t believe anything until you are sitting in the seat and your colleague calls V1.

So by your reasoning the FDR can’t tell what position any switch is in, only the result down stream based on the current in the circuit? No. That isn’t how it works. I was wrong then. Thought it was obvious when the circuit comes alive the FDR captures it as RUN and also when it is CUTOFF, whether ...

Right BTD .. but you may be under an impression that the FDR records only what the switches themselves are doing. It would have to be the current that is going through those wires to move the fuel valves from either source (automation or those master switches). I can’t imagine how else it would wor...
