Re: Classic Dash replacement??

With the new fleet plan, I imagine this next equipment bid is going to be an epic Dash 8 reduction in YYZ (all 100s), partial reduction in YUL. Existing classic routes for runs like YGR, ZBF, YGK, YYB, maritimes etc will just go on the 300 is my guess. Other classic routes to be upgauged and run wit...

Re: French / Second language

From another thread; apparently they pay for/reimburse tuition French language training at GGN, for pilots? Does jazz have anything for french language training for pilots whether its tuition reimbrmursement or free attendance to company classes? Im a hopelessly monolingual anglophone and have a gen...

Re: Huge discouragement

Most hiring took place in spring early summer ie May June when i worked up north. So you are a bit early to catch that wave, traditionally speaking.

Re: What was the most fun job you had flying

Twin Ottering out of YZF. Hard work and long days. It was the type of fun that was usually fun AFTER the fact, not so much during ie drill moves across the tundra in january, loading outboard motors and large metal objects by hand off a rickety dock in july, covered in mosquitos.

Re: Air Transat Jumpseat riders

There is some reluctance to approach the flight deck unannouced, as some jumpseaters feel intimidated about interupting a checklist or briefing. But that still doesnt excuse one from thanking a crew after the flight. Now that word is circulating that this practice is encouraged, hoefully it will cat...

Re: Reserve and Holding a Block

Getting off reserve is of course important, but having the last, or one of bottom few flying lines is not the greatest either. Held thr bottom flying line a few months and it was standups, no weekends off, interspersed with early, zero dark silly morning pairings to keep my body guessing. Hence why ...

Re: Accruing seniority before you get on property?

How bad could it be? Im definitely interested in hearing what makes reserve at AC torturous. For comparison, I purposely bid Reserve at jazz despite being able to hold a block. Sometimes can score a few extra days at home, and plenty of wdo opportunity when pairings go into a day off as they quite o...

Re: Jazz Pilot Pathway Program from College

+1 for going up north. Jazz is a great job, but i wouldnt trade 4 years seniority for the 4 years of my life spent up north. Theres more to life in general than being a number, and theres way more adventure for new pilots out there than doing victoria, sudbury and regina turns. Just my two bucks wor...
