Re: A321 v A330
I'm bored. Like really bored, so here goes :) So, there's no MFF yet, and unknown if it'll proceed. It needs to come with a generous kitty if it does. I've flown both, and I have a definite preference, Pros and cons from my perspective; (As a caveat, some of my info on pairings is several years old...

Re: What's the future for Encore ?
It's been floating around for a while, but I guess once the pilots on the One List are off to mainline or leave the company Encore will fold into Pacific Coastal with about 15-20 tails maximum.

Re: Should I go to Jazz?
I went to Jazz, stayed reserve for 8 months, and then could hold a block... of standups. Stay where you are, you'll keep all the doors open. Don't forget to take your A's. Don't forget Flair/Lynx/Transat and Porter, those would also be good options compared to Jazz. That’s worse than a kick in the ...

Re: Westjet FO take home pay
Just finishing up year 1 FO: Doing 2380$ Salary each pay cheque net. 300$ish of that is WSP which will stop being given out as cash this next month and go to your choice of NSP,RRSP or TFSA (still no word on pension) Per diems are hit and miss so hard to budget that. During the summer when busy did...

As for AC, this round of bargaining is going to be the biggest wake-up call in decades. Or not... Rudder, I know we are all hoping for a wake-up call. We all hoped it would come from Encore, then Flair, then WJ, and recently Jazz. It never came. Don't expect $100/hr year 1 FO. The company knows it ...

Re: BEWARE $30,000 BOND FOR 3 YRS
Some of you are wasting your business skills flying airplanes. Please go into management and show them how to run an airline. Or go and show the union how it’s done, get elected and make us all rich! TS flight attendants are in bargaining right now, we will not get anything until they are done. Wit...

Re: BEWARE $30,000 BOND FOR 3 YRS
People coming on here and just crapping all over Transat new-hire pay clearly haven’t done any research. Up until 3 months ago, it was the best narrow body pay scale in Canada (yes better than AC). But because of the crappy benefits, the pilots have less money in their bank accounts and are less co...

Re: BEWARE $30,000 BOND FOR 3 YRS
Compared to the other airlines mentioned here, such as Flair and Cargojet, Transat is the only solid lifetime career place. The 1st few years' salary are horrible, but they're still higher than AC's. It'll change, but in 5 years you're a high seniority FO, on the verge of upgrading onto a 321 or 33...

Re: Negotiations
Jazz won't make it to the summer, let alone limp through it. We just lost 11 guys to WJ on the 21st. AC is taking 120 by the end of the year. Of the last 100 or so pilots hired, about a dozen had ATPLs. No one with experience or time are going to come here with 30% flow, and they definitely won't c...

Re: Do not set the bar low again
Good bulletin. But these are platitudes. Easy to write words. But if you want to get the attention of the decision makers then actions speak louder than words. Coordinated bargaining. Mutual assistance. Integrated committees. Let’s see if it just words or action. Have you ever seen this kind of com...
