It’s probably because of the pandemic that porter does have cash floating around. Instead of burning millions per day like Ac and jazz they just shut down operations, got a wicked deal on ultra efficient airplanes and saw market share to grab. Deluce family are aviation geniuses, don’t discount the...

Other carriers are starting to feel the heat now too. CA quitting carriers like Morningstar and Flair and Cargojet to go to Porter. Pilots will gravitate to the $$. It is a sellers market (except perhaps for AC). Anybody operating under the Express banner trying to sustain non-market rates will fin...

I'd like to know where PAL thinks they're getting the pilots to do this extra flying. They've never been known for their WAWCON. I know Jazz had to cover a few of their flights recently so I'm extremely skeptical of this idea.

Wonderful response. Thanks so much for breaking that down for me, I really appreciate it. After 18 months of self inflicted pain AC has finally decided to make an offer which the Jazz pilots are currently entertaining. Just a followup question. Why do you mention Air Canada making a deal with the J...

Good day folks, I work for Jazz but I'm not a pilot (more maintenance side of things). I've been following this thread but I must say I'm really in the dark as to what's going on with you guys and I had a few questions. Maybe you could enlighten me if you could find the time? It seems that there is ...

Normal pay after tax and every deduction (I have family insurance so it's more expensive), is 1000$ per two weeks (40 credits). First year F/O YUL based. Actually pretty simple, about 44% of the salary are deductions for me (tax and benefits). My guess, captains would be close to 60% in deductions ...

Even the thought of doing this in the water sounds hilarious.

Are you a Pilot? Maintenance? Dispatcher? Groomer? Flight attendant? Rampie? Sanitation? Millwright? Human resources? By the pure ignorance of your question, I think I know the answer already.

Gonna need some more info.

Don't sweat it... I've worked for damn near every major operator in the business and it's never been an issue. I'm a licensed AME-E......I fail both the Ishihara and the Farnsworth every time guaranteed. Air Canada's medical was the best one........she asked me if I had a color vision problem to whi...

E license is for avionics. You can only do a maintenance release on anything related to electronic and electricity. Computers or any electric side of any component. M License is every aspect of a aircraft. Engine, airframe, electricity. M license can sign the same thing than a E license but an E li...

Op, I forgot to mention......you may private message me if you prefer. Actually, I encourage you to do this rather than post on here. I have all the info you require.

*deleted*, not worth it. Op contact me for any info you like.

 There is a load of misinformation being posted here We're actually only talking about one thing...what's the "load" of misinformation?... I refuse to engage with you, but I will post my info from before: As an M Student, I'm aiming for my M2 but as someone with extensive electronics experience I'm...

This topic comes up almost as much as the 12pt vs. 6 pt socket threads.......or the crimp vs. solder threads. There is a load of misinformation being posted here (as usual). I have an M2/E, see my posts on this thread:

Why do you all continue to engage? You all know how it goes......

Cheapest, most convenient for you, and quickest term........that's my recommendation. Most importantly, cheapest. Don't go into debt for this racket. The schools all just about the same in the end.

I was shocked while at sim training one year. My sim partner had >4000hrs and had been applying for a DEC at a notable US jet operating regional carrier. He was desperate for that job! What did it pay? $41,000/yr! Why do we want to work towards this, instead of away from it and then justify it? Bec...

So....if I understand you correctly.....Say, for example, hired as a Flight Attendant in 1986 and hired as a Pilot in 1990.....seniority date in the pilot union is 1990?

All of these recent union drives at Westjet, etc got me thinking about a couple things. Maybe someone could shed some light on this for me..... How do they decide seniority once they actually become organized? I guess it does not apply to pilots but many people started off in different positions wit...
