Skills degrade rapidly, and in a new and unfamiliar environment like you would be experiencing, where you a...

Heavy corporate jet YYZ based and we're very busy, aircraft management company we operate under is continually adding aircraft to the fleet. So far no signs of anything slowing down really.

Re: Hiring DEC's
Other than AC & WJ no one pays over $150,000 for a 1st year Captain and WJ is just over. Heard Flair's 1st year captain pay is going up to $145k+ 1st year. Not quite over $150k but a big improvement from $114k. Air Transat new pay rates as of May 1, 2022 for year 1 Captain is $177K, but everyone wh...

Stock is up 46% today, new aircraft arriving shortly, generally the mood is pretty upbeat amongst employees.

Re: PAL Dash 8 CPT in YUL
They are too cheap to pay for a job ad sticky so they just repost the ad everyday. That should tell you all you need to know. You sound like someone who got PFO'd. The pay is on par if not better than most regionals. The company culture is pretty good considering there is no union and the crews are...

Re: What kind of watch do you wear?
All the feedback is much appreciated!
I agree having a smartphone and lots of clocks in the cockpit means I don't really need anything fancy to tell the time but I appreciate decent watches with classic style.
Anyone own any IWC timepieces?

Re: What kind of watch do you wear?
Honestly - get a decent Timex or Casio G-Shock. They keep time just as well, have decent functions, and you don't have to worry about losing it, getting jacked for it, dropping/bashing/getting it wet, etc.. I've got a G-Shock now, great watch, but I'm looking for something a little nicer that I can...
