ATC cleared both Jazz and Firetruck. Changes need to happen at US's busy airports.

Any day now I'm expecting to be laid off and be replaced

Folks, it’s really very simple: the Canadian ATP did not conform to ICAO Annex 1. The purpose of an ATP is to certify that a pilot is competent to act as PIC of a multi‑crew airplane. Yet Canada was issuing ATPs that conferred PIC privileges in multi‑crew operations without the applicant ever havin...

This and the state bringing in immigrant pilots is not a coincidence. This with having the airlines lobbying. Constant supply of captains now with FOs having to upgrade before flowing/getting hired by AC/WJ. Say bye bye to any captain salary increases from regionals, no need to attract captains. Imm...

The Canadian aviation industry is absolutely disgusting for a new grad to have to go do this. Please don't get abused out there.

Is it true that A330 RP out of YYZ get a lot of pairings that are operating out to Europe and then DH home? Yes and have fun in economy only captains and first officers get confirmed business class seating on planned DH so have at it. You go to the bunks not economy, which is as good as business. U...

Why not put 4000 as long as you adhere to the 6000 restriction at PGSKN? You’re just adding more work having to set that further descent separately, and I’m sure you’d be questioned if you were crossing JAMIL at 6.

Because you get vectors and new altitude

3rd year Relief pilot on a WB $75k in earnings (includes OT+Vac pay) + $10k towards pension. I had a couple months of block reduction but still, you can't support a family on that salary in YVR or YYZ unless your spouse is working. Another reason not to go to AC he had block reduction. AC MMG for A...

I find it impossible to believe they went from the old flight test requirement to needing a PIC PPC on a two crew airplane just to get an ATPL. That wouldn't make any sense. It must be just a 703/4/5 PPC. How would a person even achieve the requirement for a captain ride apart from coming from anot...

Sure. USA. Many other foreign airlines in other parts of the world, not just Emirates. Working in Canada as a non-resident and commuting. Or simply working at a major in Canada and doing lots of overtime or working the system, you won't be far off at all. Sorry, but Emirates isn't the only way to m...

No thanks, I'm not interested in co-existing with white nationalists. Your far leftist is showing. You should go die your hair blue again, it started to fade away. Why dont you go back to whining about how hard it is to get an atpl and how you have been so wronged by the process just because you ha...

I have met several who left 200k plus jobs to start over at Jazz, let alone AC, how many are actually willing to stay if they were offered a job at AC? My guess is very few would put their money where their mouth is! Pretty much anyone with an ATPL and 5000+ hours today at any of those operators wo...

I still don't understand why Air Canada pilots had to give anything away with literally every pilot group getting massive gains in contracts Because management knows everyone and their dog will want to hang their hat at AC, especially with the current state of WJ. Why give more? Meanwhile US has 5 ...

I'm not sure how you are defining productivity, but a single leg to Tokyo or even San Francisco from yyz is a lot more productive for pilots and the plane then a Jazz pilot doing a Windsor turn then off to Washington. We also have a lot of productive turns especially in the winter, just because som...

AC is buying Jazz

https://avherald.com/h?article=533e3941&opt=0 From the report:- The crew attempted to stop the descent via the FGCP, then disconnected the autopilot and entered a manual climb at 3600 fpm. . Looks like about an 800 foot descent starting from 2000. Hope this is addressed by the training department -...

Fact. I heard it first hand that ALPA HQ reps commented it's the worst employee/employer relations of any ALPA property. That's what happens when you think your top dog and everybody else is beneath you This is the fantasy that management and most of the boomer boot licking CAs here would like ever...

From 4th hand information ALPA national has commented they have never seen such toxic management as those at Air Canada. Fact.

Which makes no difference in getting your medical pulled because you refuse to sign on the dotted line. At least they can't freeze your bank accounts, although they will be empty anyway.

Keep in mind between 7 years in and 19 years in, if you lose your medical, you're pretty well covered for the majority of your post-tax income for 15 additional years. It can't be discounted and something to seriously keep in mind. That's a 22 (7+15) total year career paid for (likely at a narrow b...
