Few weeks ago I talked with a 787 captain with 30+ years of seniority. He was flying an average of 18 days per month.
Told me the schedule was better a few years back with the flights to China..!

Re: Fly a JET! Make less than a King Air captain!
At "mainline carriers" you fly more than 9 days per month.. Unless you're on top of seniority list. They also have a 25 year payscale, increasing less than 1-2% per year. But people still apply, cause realistically it's marginally better than the regionals. It’s exactly like a regional. Below averag...

If you're a widebody captain on WB at AC or WJ can you afford a house in YYZ or YVR?

Re: New pay scale Aug 1 Dash and E2
You really think we can compete with other countries for transit passengers when AIF's are doubling every 2 years?
Carbon tax is coming, sooner or later we're gonna pay a lot more taxes on tickets..

Re: E2 days off
12 GDOs and Golden ones, does that mean they can move your GDOs if they are not golden?
Also do you bid your GDOs and flights by seniority with the company or by type/position seniority?
Thanks

Reserve on WB
hello,
My friend just started with AC and told me reserve is very senior. Is it true? Doesn't make sense to me
Otherwise how long usually before you hold a block on WB?
thanks

Supply and demand.
AC could offer 10K flat pay and still fill all the seats. This is the problem.

A shortage?
I wonder why..!
You pay 100k to get your licences and after a few years of eating sh** you will finaly land an airline job in YYZ at 40k/year.
