Just because it isn’t plastered in the news, doesn’t mean it isn’t happening. https://www.tsb.gc.ca/eng/rapports-reports/aviation/2017/a17c0146/a17c0146.html 8. Although the flight crew were aware of icing on the aircraft’s critical surfaces, they decided that the occurrence departure could be accom...

Negotiations are being mediated now because the company was essentially avoiding them. Currently, negotiations will continue until June 1 to try to come to an agreement, although the mediator can call an "impasse" at any point. If no deal is reached by June 1, the strike counter starts (it's about ...

If something is dense enough to go under the surface, it will continue to sink. In fact for a hollow object the rate of sinking will increase as the water pressure compresses the volume and the object displaces less water vs its weight. In essence it will become less buoyant the deeper it goes. The...

I thought you were able to strike in February, why are you talking September now? Negotiations are being mediated now because the company was essentially avoiding them. Currently, negotiations will continue until June 1 to try to come to an agreement, although the mediator can call an "impasse" at ...

Skybrary.aero accident browser is also a good resource. Usually it will be listed as a contributing factor. There have been a few in Ottawa on 07/25. WestJet,and a couple Erj 145s. Not directly related but in 2015 delta md 88 in LaGuardia, Indonesia and the Caribbean have some as well. Again usually...

No. Maximum power was applied to one or both engines, and the landing gear was initially selected up and then re-selected down before it could fully retract. The crew declared an emergency with Kenora FSS and unsuccessfully attempted to initiate a climb. https://www.tsb.gc.ca/eng/rapports-reports/av...

I am sorry if you went to Jazz expecting a job at the mainline however, another consideration here is the fact that Jazz hires pilots with minimal experience. I was hired at AC in early 2023 with thousands of hours of experience including 737 left seat time. I get it, I am an outlier here, but I'd ...

As mentioned it can be an unforgiving aircraft. Usually the place it will bite is ground control. I’m not sure statistically how it fairs against its peers. Keep in mind the environment it is flown in is generally a tough one, so that can make it seem worse.

3000 hrs in the metro 3/23.

It will definitely run off. Not instantly, but over a couple of mins the coverage won’t be sufficient on flaps and slats if precip is falling. I’ve had to go back to spray because the wind blew off the type 4 well before the high time limit. Edit to add. I agree that on the horizontal stab there wou...

I have zero affiliation with Flair but I find it funny. Every time people say Flair is done (are they really Canadian? planes being seized ect) sure enough.......they still keep flying. That’s called survivorship bias. It is always the case for anything… until it isn’t. For the record I’m not hopin...

Lots of dual or more engine failures in past not fuel related. SAS MD 80 Southern Airways dc9 Eastern L1011 British Airways 747 US Airways A320 TACA 737 Garuda 737 Pinnacle RJ200 Ural A321 Trans air 737 Granted a lot are fuel, probably most. But the list above is for dual, triple or Quad engine fail...

Year 1 CA pay at Jazz is around $108/hr. It tops out at $165/hr after 17 years. Porter E195 CA STARTS at $190/hr. There is no way Jazz will get qualified DEC with that compensation. Not even close. They will get King Air CA. But a King Air CA is not qualified to fly an E175 in to LGA, a CRJ in to Y...

For the aircraft I’ve flown, it is usually centred or within the takeoff range. Generally full up or down isn’t good as you will dump all the type 4 off the horizontal stab. Unless it’s an md 80 or something. Some set position at the gate, and some with the before takeoff checklist after deicing. I ...

Which March date was cancelled? Are they still running classes every 2 weeks? No. It was mentioned in the last webinar that a March groundschool was cancelled and may continue some months moving forward. What was the reason? The reason given, was that they want to consolidate to larger classes as o...

Anyone hear of ppl getting calls recently? lots of Jazz folks through the interview now, odd they wouldn't fill those empty classes up... Yes for April G/S we are only hiring 600 ish pilots this year..... ground school's will be lumpy, training dept is a max capacity.... the company doesn't want to...

As it stands, according to LRD, strike pay isn’t taxed (although that could change).

So for some of our newer pilots, it could indeed be a raise. However, there must be a cumulative of 14 days strike before being eligible.

You nailed it... See you in about 15 years after you give up on life in the sand pit. Once has to ask why veteran Emirates are joining Air Canada these days.... You sound like some boomer who spent a career deep throating management which turned this profession into a joke. Then because 10 Emirates...

This move from the MEC makes no sense. All it does is drag the process out mean while we are getting paid the same and under the same conditions. While they keep labour cost low. Also there is a good chance of no retro active pay. The company is winning lol. If an impass is called June 1st. We woul...

Older guy with family home deciding to gain time slower staying home or be away for a while and gain time quicker with training bond. If I stay I’d be flying more as the we...
