Honest question. Why? There are several careers where people work till death.
Politicians, Lawyers, surgeons, artists, to name a few (there’s actually a couple of people in their 70s working at my local Safeway)

Interesting fact (that I learnt the hard way) if you or your student doesnt have Canadian passport, Visa Waiver Program doesnt apply for private aircraft without a special agreement, so you would need a B1/B2 visa

Troll is hungry

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….

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 ...

Jokes apart, for 737 YYC Captain 16 years is correct

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 ...

Reduced block (aka part time) spots are outside the monthly bids and created by the company for 787 captains who hit 65 and wish to continue working. The company will create a reduced block captain position for them at a base of their choosing. These positions haven’t been available to bid on for a...

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...

Priceless

What exactly have vax mandates accomplished? On a side note, deaths are up 50 percent and life insurance claims are very busy. Surprise! It's not covid. But we can let this wave of people pass and pretend policy had nothing to do with it. Lacking healthcare, lots of cancer. Our gov brewed up a nice...

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...

Exactly that is why I was looking at US opportunities. Not everyone is a single dude living in their moms basement. Im not defending the shitty starting pay, however, I made less than that working in aviation with wife (she works also) and two kids and I did just fine... Good for you. Maybe we shou...

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...

The contact negotiations did not start until January because we moved from Unifor to ALPA and that took some time.

Thats good to know, thanks

Any idea when OAL pilots will be able to book recip jumpseat on Flair using Myid Travel?

Could be a paperwork nightmare if you spell the country's name wrong

I dunno if any other companies allow CJ pilots to JS on their fleet, but I have been told that Flair does. So the ALPA good will is there if they ever decide to allow it to be reciprocated. They dont have one with WJ....nothing personal, but the program is named reciprocal jumpseat agreement.....so...

Imho, work permits eventually needs to get renewed, so that could be an issue. I imagine you have an open work permit based on your spouse? If for some reason It cant be renewed then yours expire also. You company could apply for a work permit for yourself of that happens, however they gonna need a ...
