Re: Westjet hiring of sunwing cadets

A Sunwing CPL cadet might have 1400 TT although 1100 of those on type, while an ATPL hired last year might have 1800 hours TT, but only 300 on type……it not all about licenses and numbers sometimes….

Re: Which European airline would you join if Canada joins the European Union?

What's the alternative to a EU army? Let Russia and the US just annex whatever country they want? EU army is another delusional fantasy that refuses to recognise reality. NATO has 2 weeks of ammunition. UK has 40 (or 25) working tanks. It's several years at a minimum to change this. I love reading ...

Re: Sunwing/Westjet

As soon as Sunwing pilots are represented by ALPA they will get Westjet Pay, also Reserve. which is 18 days a month and not commutable! 16years to get off reserve out west! It will be a tough pill to swallow for both sides! If you want to be really sensationalist it's more like 25 years to get off ...

Re: Flying Jumpseat (Stby) in Europe using a Canadian RAIC

Its a common practice in Spain, however completely dependent on the captain of the flight. They wont care about the Raic, just your license and Company Id. The biggest issue will be to go through security and CSA to get to the plane and actually ask the Captain directly, every airport in Spain has i...

Re: HELP NEEDED. SHOULD I GO WJ MAINLINE?

My personal opinion would be that Jazz is the better option. Even if AC isn’t in your crosshairs, Jazz is still a good second best with a stable career and decent lifestyle after you build some seniority. WJ does not offer long term stability anymore IMHO. Also, it currently takes nearly 7 years se...

What is the monthly take home for a year 1 AC FO ? 56k pre tax. I’d take a pay cut leaving the 704 I’m at making 80k a year soon to be 145k. I just don’t know if I wanna suffer the cut in YYZ for at least 2 if not the full 4 years. Sure the 200k NB Captain is good and all but who knows how long 2 y...
