You could be right, but that would be in contravention of the CBA (draft): 3-1. PILOT SENIORITY LIST 3-1.01. The Company shall maintain an updated Pilot Seniority List (PSL). The PSL shall be published quarterly (Jan 1, Apr 1, Jul 1, Oct 1) with a copy to the Association. The PSL shall be posted el...

Can someone please outline the Jazz hiring process, please? Application is first, obviously. How do they get back to you after that? phone? Email? In person interview? Sim evaluation Medical Pooled G/S Sim /ride Line Indoc Fame fortune, hot nights in exotic places, etc... Is that close to what you m...

Anyone know who/what SIM Air is? Looks like a startup with Saab 340s based in??Winnipeg?

CANADA: "The country's economy grew by just 0.1 per cent in the fourth quarter, for an annualized pace of 0.4 per cent, Statistics Canada said Friday from Ottawa. That's the worst quarterly performance in two and a half years." USA: "The 2.6 percent annualized rate of gains in gross domestic produc...

It does make for interesting speculation...does the contract go to EIC cos of the ties between Filmon and the current government? Aboriginal money/interest would make great political optics, and going with the existing Babcock group could make sense given their presence in aeromedical operations wor...

Ha ha..the Harold Marks that I thought of was the, ah...international businessman. As for my the pimply-faced kid at my local bank, I wouldn’t know - I’ve dealt with the guy 15 floors above him for at least the last decade - and I pay him to read your Marks’ books, cartoons and all, for me.

Sounds almost like you are relishing the wreckage that will result, rookie?

Sorry - I’m an outsider here - what, exactly, is a ‘grey day’ at Swoop?

Thanks!

Ha ha..

[Cheese and rice, does ‘modern’ rap suck hard...how the f**k to people listen to that crap?]

Grey days - days ‘off’...if I can’t sit down at lunch and have a beer with a friend, then it ain’t a day off!
( Not that I need alcohol to have a good time - more that I know that I won’t get called for work for the next 8/10/12 hours...)

How many GGN pilots signed up for the Jazz job offer? I don’t have a horse in this race but far as I know the current number is zero. I believe ALPA gets the sign-up instructions tonight to review, approve and distribute. I’ll hold no envy for Jazz HR next week, it will be a shit show. Maybe you ha...

Awesome thank you! How long should/could someone expect to work the docks before being eligible for the twin otter FO position? Just not too sure if I can afford 1-3 years of not flying, with how the industry is transitioning these days -- writing my iatra this week! :prayer: My opinion - worth wha...

The seniority system needs to be overhauled so that something akin to date of ATPL or something like that be recognize. It will have the side-benefit of having younger/less experience pilots "choosing" non-705 gigs where they would build experience knowing that if they joined the 705 too early, the...

Golden Rule:

Experience costs $$. No $$ = no experience

Or, as an old AME friend of mine said more colourfully: “No bucks, no Buck Rogers!”

post hoc. After the event

Anyone currently working at Wasaya on the Dash 8 care to share their experience - good/bad/indifferent, please? PM if you want...

I don't have a dog in this fight, but I tend to agree with BOTL. Give the guys/gals pay protection, perhaps, until they are back to where they were, but seniority? I don't think so. What are you going to sayy to the Jazz guy who chose Jazz over GGN, and who's 200+1 in seniority lower when the layoff...

Trumps government shutdown

They should all walk. Anyone not getting paid should stop working.

This. It’d be fixed in a day.

Good on the guys and gals in the various centres for helping out their brethren down south! I wonder if they sent along a note with the pizzas that said: “Walk Out!” What could be more American than demanding to be paid for he work that you do? If the US ATC were to phase in a walk-out starting with...

Falling house prices might not necessarily be a bad thing in over heated markets like the GTA and Vancouver. Can't speak for Toronto, but for those of us with an 'average' income in the Lower Mainland, prices will have to drop ~40% to bring them back to 'affordable' - and that's a huge kick to the ...

I foresee another line/angle that people could add to their covering letters in their application to AC! . “I’d be more than happy to work as a w/b FO were AC to hire me.” Etc...

^ F@#K all that Sh!t! Indusrty created the looming headache by paying poorly in the first place, and now they want the taxpayers to bail them out, by increasing the supply of pilots, so that they can continue to pay poorly??!! FTS! How about salaries going up to attract more people? You know, just l...

For so many comments above to "just pay the fee", or "no one cares", or "or don't pay the fee, it's your life", most here still seems somewhat invested in knowing the answer to this question. Judging by the full gamete of answers, I'm not sure anyone knows for certain. I know it did NOT sit well wi...
