I chuckled at the comparison between the AR program and letting women fly. Is there an ICAO restriction on women aviators? Weak comparison. I think WJ timed this decision perfectly. It coincides with the integration bid between us and a company they bought to focus on "the south leisure market" (mor...

It kind of does come from the controller on the other end of the radio. I'm not faulting them. They are are working the system better than us pilots have ever figured out.

Next time you are on heading 080 "for traffic", ask for deviations for weather. The response will answer your question.

Now that ALPA represents a majority of Canadian pilots, maybe it’s time we go our own way as a group of Canadian pilots and split from the American union. Looking at my T4 I can’t help but wonder why we are sending our hard earned money to pay support staff in the US. IFALPA recognizes one national ...

We will see layoffs before hiring.

This approach seemed rushed considering they just discovered the issue on the base turn. One little loop south of final, then requested direct the IF for a 80 degree intercept (which they blew through). The controller clearly saw an issue with their request for direct the IF and he even asked them i...

You only have to watch the special edition update call after the AME strike to learn they really don’t care about the brand hit caused by flight cancellations. Their words paraphrased - our guests are like goldfish and in their years of executive management, they have learned that everyone forgets a...

The translation app he (and our other executives) are using must be as old as our IT infrastructure because they clearly misunderstood the CIRB decision that highlights a strike was still allowed. I wonder if they’ve read the passenger bill of rights as thoroughly as they read the CIRB decision. If...

Cheap airfares and “helping Canadians” means absolutely nothing if you aren’t making enough to pay your bills, creditors, and tax man.

SJ won’t even be able to get a job as a used car salesman after this whole debacle. “There’s nothing wrong with this beauty” said as the rear bumper held on by duct tape falls off after a gentle tap.

They can’t even come up with a consistent message. Suspending growth yesterday, job ads for rapid growth today.

I find the loan figures interesting. 20 planes. 189 seats. Four sectors each per day (based on flight radar and is VERY generous). = 15,120 seats / day = 453,600 / month. So $15 of each ticket sold goes to paying lease payments alone. Not including the other 300 million in debt. Yes I know this isn...

I think it will be more than that agreement falling through in the next few months. It’s kinda hard to seize assets when you barely have any. If the tail number chart I have found online is correct, all but 3 of their tails are leased. I don’t think the CRA can take things that are actually owned by...

This is why you won't get the contract you think you deserve. You're too worried about my comments than negotiating. And yes - I still believe Unifor is useless. LOL Not worried about you at all. Just making sure everyone knows what they are dealing with. In fact you have brought in a lot of insigh...

I love how accountant crawls out from under their management rock during all pilot ca negotiation. They are very passionate about us not getting a penny more. Bonus must be correlated.

Your last statement provided a little insight / concern. It’s not their job to tell you if you are missing something. If there is a requirement listed in the job ad, your resume should state how you meet it. If a document is requested, you should provide it. HR departments don’t have time to hold ha...

Encore is actively hiring.

If you received a PFO and meet all the requirements have someone take a look at your resume. Something is triggering the rejection.

I guess we now know what the plan is for the 80+ deliveries he keeps talking about. They are for fleet replacement not fleet growth.

2:1 ratio with no fences. I am sorry but we can't have captains with 3 years seniority holding a left seat when the larger carrier has a 10 year upgrade.

Diabetes runs in my family too. A few years ago I had a numb toe and started to worry. Though, not to the extent you are by the sounds of it. So different concerns (numb vs temp sensitivity), but similar concerns. It’s good that you’re worried, but the internet can make things much worse. Turns out…...

I agree about the situational awareness piece but I wasn’t there so who knows what the conversation was up front. There are a lot of other factors to this incident though that hopefully bring some changes. The crew are not the only ones involved in this incident. Why are there no notams about the ta...

The above comments are great points. Airlines will call you if you meet the minimum requirements because well those are their requirements. In this environment they are not going go spend two hours interviewing someone they have no intention of hiring. Take some time to reflect on the questions they...

Doesn't the email say when you can reapply?

Within the context of an AC FO clearing >$5000 a month this may seem like a give. For me as a 20+ CA that dreads the $2000 paycheque every January, this is a massive improvement and voting it down isn't entirely practical. This is selling your house at a high water mark that could change your life....
