Re: Swoop pay

Altiplano...you really need to check your “facts”! I’m not going to waste my time telling you how I inaccurate you are regarding SW. You obviously have your mind made up regardless of the truth. I will however get you to ask a Sunwing pilot about their overall experience and their views of the compa...

Re: North America 737/320 Pay Round-up

Many variables overall, however it's impossible to deny that Canadian pilots are some of the lowest paid of all G7 nations possibly even g20.

Re: 2016 Sunwing Interviews

Vac Exp is a part of the SW pyramid, if they went with another airline for the lift it was a strategic decision.

Re: Flydubai crash....Fatigue reports?

The money has gone down and thus in correlation, quality has followed! Guys are pulling runners at Cathay! Like Cathay for F sakes. That was once the pinnacle of careers... Not anymore I guess and so who keeps the C scale pay and 97hr roster?

Re: Sunwing fleet and pilot rosters for the 2015/2015 season

This English/French argument at Transat is rightfully based on a past practice, however it has very obviously/ factually changed. The reason why Transat currently has reference to French in its company culture is because it is a Quebec based company, and has deep historical ties to Quebec and French...

Re: Sunwing fleet and pilot rosters for the 2015/2015 season

Word is that 220 Sunwing pilots are heading over the puddle for the summer. With those numbers they should be looking to hire. Better dust off the old log book.

Re: Calgary-bound Sunwing passengers angry after 8-hour wait

Until everyone appreciates that flying (air travel) isn't a right it's a privilege, and at the same time inherently dynamic and not an exact science and/or business. It's impossible to explain to, or have empathy for anyone who thinks otherwise. There will always be an off chance that the $hit will ...
