This has got to be the funniest aviation video ever... i guess he never learned what that red knob thing is and when to use it.. going off the runway would have been a good time.. or maybe when heading full power towards a hangar? This guy needs to quit now... worst decision making EVER.. glad he s...

Requirements are the same for all positions, as you won't know your position until a week into groundschool. 2000hrs + ATPL are the mins.

The 600 is inclusive of the 162.

I wouldn't worry about companies laying off. This virus will pretty much be the end of aviation as we know it. This virus is expanding exponentially and will kill off any remaining airlines. It's just a matter of time. Anyone who thinks this matter will go away in three to four months is out of tou...

I just talked to a guy in training. The rumour was incorrect, I apologize for spreading it. The next course Monday is 14.

Sounds like they're expecting to be increasing the numbers by Nov or Dec.

We could always say "Peoplekind, welcome aboard"

Wondering if Iflyroads or any other AC insider has information regarding upcoming class sizes now that the Max is off the schedule for another month. Is it safe to say we can expect groups of 10-15 for the next few classes? Thanks, T. From my understanding the next class coming up has 40 in it. Tak...

No flight ops bulletins yet...apparently in flight have had one come out, but I haven't seen it personally.

It doesn't really bother me how I greet people aboard the airplane. If it makes a few people feel a bit more welcome, then why not?

Some people are afraid of the dark

The level of entitlement here is shocking..

Sounds like the hiring board did a fine job.

I forget what the min pension time is, but I figure it would be 25yrs. I've been with the company for about 2 years now, and have benefited a lot from the latest wave of hiring, so I'm certainly not working max days on the 320 as an FO (YYZ).This month I have 20 days off doing long turns. If you're ...

Nope, pure thermal flight in Southern Ontario a few years back. First to last thermal during the long June days.

8.5hrs in a glider

Does this count..

When I did my new hire medical, my glasses wouldn't correct my left eye above 20/40. All they required of me was to go see my optometrist and get a new prescription and to give them the optometry report.

I've been following these guys since the beginning. Really nice to see the headway they've made recently...3 broken records in a week!

NickyNick, is that you?

1.5 to 2 years seems a little optimistic unless you had a reserved seniority number. I think the bottom 737 CA is around 3000 in the seniority list. I have seen 320 CA go much lower than that though. Good times regardless!

Thanks for that, just want to make sure, is that with max contribution to DC pension plan?

That was my most recent pay with the TBP plan, which has a fixed contribution rate. I'm not involved in the ESOP.

Edit, double post.

First paycheque after tax and deductions is $2100, while the second one has your per diems on it, and is usually around 2200 ($1400 without PDs).

We drew names out of a hat to determine seniority.

Can't speak for Confed or the Sault, but Seneca had me do a shorter "PPL Stage" at the beginning of my training. After that point, I was on the same curriculum as everyone else.
