Re: Bearskin vs Georgian

There is a difference. At GGN, you make $28,000 and that's it. At Bearskin, you make $38,000 and that $10,000 bond is paid back over 2 years, with interest. Maybe not justifiable, but in the end, you'll make more at Bearskin (if your concern is about pay and pay alone). I never said there wasn't a ...

Re: Bearskin vs Georgian

Nope. I'd rant the same if the topic involved PAL, CMA, Carson, or x-company that seems take advantage of their pilots by feeding them a dog's breakfast for a pay cheque. This willingness to accept a poverty wage scale is not doing the pilot group any favours. Glorifying a dream that is inevitably ...

Re: Interviews

Similar to flyinggirl I've just been invited to an interview as well. Question is, should I even bother with it? Without a doubt it'll mean a pay cut based on what the gal told me over the phone, and you don't find out which base you're going to until (aprox) the second day of ground school. Those ...

Re: General Aviation in Toronto

No monetary figures were provided by Porter, but several tenants contacted by the Toronto Star — all of whom did not want to be identified in case the hike could be renegotiated — said the increase ranged from 30 to 300 per cent. They say the amount could jeopardize business and force them out of t...

I thought once you got the medical you pretty much had the job. Just a formality to piss into a cup at that point and wait for a course date.

Re: Air Transat layoff next year

Lets look at this from a different perspective. Yes it is terrible that the 17 AT pilots were laid off. With that said; how many of these pilots would actually seek out, apply and take jobs with Canjet or Sunwing or any other small 705 operation? Keep in mind that has been stated previously that th...
