Re: Air Georgian-National Post Article
Its certainly not enough for me. They've got a LONG way to go before they'll see my resume, especially considering their reputation and latest TSB report. Bit of a mic drop for GGN http://www.avcanada.ca/forums2/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=125069&sid=12ec6b74b71be64b2f8bfb8edb0bc872 Please don't push the B...

Re: Air Georgian-National Post Article
He indicated that a pilot makes more than the avg Canadian. Then listed jobs, supposedly done by avg Canadians, almost all of them making more than pilots. So yes. Correcting a faulty assumption NO - you need to go back and read that again. Was responding to safety, risk, dedication, professionalis...

Re: Air Georgian-National Post Article
Lol @ average Canadian salary... Do average Canadians have 74 lives in their hands? Did they sleep in hotels 15 nights a month? Are they required to always be ready for the inevitable? Troll. Umm really.... no some design or build bridges, keep your family safe from crime, fire, etc. Educate your k...

Re: Pasco pay
The PML is NOT bleeding them dry at all. JAZZ is a real airline and a great place to work with many benefits and finding pilots Has not been a issue whatsoever. SKy Regional similar but not so much. GGN on the other hand I can tell you is not bled dry by the PML. 1 or 2 a month is more like it. The...

Re: GGN Interview Questions
I agree, WHY? There is two WAAAAAY better options out there to attempt to get on at AC. Why? They are the best performing Express carrier, 1200 former pilots now work at AC and they are represented by ALPA. All the old mgnt is long gone and they had a 0 finding TC audit 6 months ago. They send pilo...

Re: Bargaining idea
mb, The industry has evolved from a local dog and pony show to a global market. We've also seen many folk priced right out of joining us as fuel and insurance and mx costs skyrocket and global wages tank. Do you know why TC stopped releasing the numbers on CPL's and ATPL"S issued? Because the numbe...

Re: ggn 1900 fo postion
Don't do it. You'd be doing yourself a huge disservice as a pilot starting your career. Go up north, or even halfway there at a place like Thunder. Go Captain, and you'll have great stories, hands and feet, friends, and some serious decision making credibility after a couple of years. Oh, and they ...

Re: GGN CRJ Captain
After reading all this it just confirms what a sad state our industry is in. Capitalism at its finest, reducing costs and the value of people to the lowest workable minimum. Wish I hadn't asked the question. Thats what you took from this???? DEC at GGN = better money than Jazz FO (good bad who know...

Re: GGN CRJ Captain
To be honest, I don't know of any Dash, ATR or corporate guys that wouldn't be taking a pay cut to go left seat at GGN. Around $73k to captain a commuter jet by my reckoning. A first year WestJet/Air Canada FO will damn near make that. Think I'll pass. With normal flying, you will make about 90K if...

Re: Georgian Upgrades
Or perhaps this individual really cares about the direction of our industry and is frustrated about its current situation. No, it was just Georgian bashing as he likes to do. If he cared about the industry he would have listed the many operators doing the same thing and not just pointed to one or a...

Re: WestJet introduces WestJet Link
WJ pilots don't have an ALPA contract yet. It would dictate things like scope. With WJPA, they discussed the Encore expansion before proceeding. Currently the pilot group is in limbo. Management is doing whatever they want because they currently can, they clearly have very little regard for their p...

Re: WestJet introduces WestJet Link
The few WJ pilots I know well enough to get an honest answer don’t seem to be concerned at all. Quite interesting. Exactly. This is a way to feed from smaller markets into the WJ system through a capacity purchase agreement. With the expansion into Wide bodies and the new opportunities with the Max...
