Given the latest message from Joe, it seems the sky is falling here at jazz. I personally won't be so quick to assume any and certainly not all new 705/900's entering the system will end up at jazz. They will likely go up in a bid to the lowest bidder. Let the games begin.... (que the sound of a flu...

Ya you're right. Got sucked in.
My bad.
Skyregional away...

FL020 I worked 8-10 days a month on the 75. And it's easy work. dude, it doesn't get much better than that. and for those of you who don't like 110K a year or whatever it is on the 757, then go fly a dash 8 100 for that pay. you have a choice. Or go to AC or WJ or whatever. Jesus H christ. F@#K me s...

I was one of the crew members. Thanks to the well wishers and love you too to all the "others".
Guys- some people will never be happy. Can't ever change that.
Cheers,

I myself have actually noticed less waits for ground crews.

But I have always said you get what you pay for. So i don't mind spending to get good quality.
I could probably use a bit more "cheapness" but I love buying expensive toys and do on a regular basis,

i heard they want to extend the dh8's to 100 and something thousand cycles...
no joke.

I think GeorgeJetson means #11 on the new bid position list that came out with the award. (effective maybe in a month or 2??) Not today's list.

Must work really well.... I know some absolute "winners" that got hired and I assume they "passed" the cog. Come on guys... that thing means sh#t. I don't usually get ruffled about these things but get your heads out of your asses. How many outstanding pilots got the boot because of it?? I understan...

I saw one break up into 5 or 6 (or more?!?) pieces in the afternoon! It was awesome!

6500 TT, 4000hrs turboprop, 1100 hrs jet
But coulda gone to seneca and only had 200!

This is F***ing ridiculous. It irritates me to no end that they are doing this. What a slap in the face to all the people who have and are working up north or in crappy jobs to get good experience for years. It TOTALLY cheapens the company in my opinion. Tell people where you work and they think you...

I know a lot of guys that got in without a degree. I have no degree but got the PFO
But there are still lots that got in.

I don't think the Seneca "sim" is a sim that you can get a PPC on. It isn't full motion, and not all the things work in it. It is more like a CPT than anything.

I got the PFO after 3 months. I don't know why it took so long to realize they don't want me.

amen to that!

This topic seems to come up from time to time. I don't know why pilots and big watches ever became synonymous. But to me, collecting watches is like collecting art. People do it all the time. People pay MILLIONS for old canvas and paint. It doesn't have to be justified. It is beyond justification (j...

Some guys that interviewed the end of Aug already got the call. Some guys are still getting the PFO up to 4 or 5 months later.
Who knows.....

With respect to the number at Jazz interviewing now, at least the first 3 new hire classes have been called for interviews. I am really wondering how many new hires (on a percentage interviewed) will be hired.
I guess we'll have to wait and see.

it was in YYZ yesterday.
