You are right and wrong, Calm Air only has one HS748 ACP, there are other guys for the other aircraft.

FALSE.

HS748 You were responding quite quickly for a while, I think after all the opinion and defense your were serving up it says a lot not answering the last question Horunner asked. It points right into the heart of the environment there, I could only see 2 reasons; either the ACP is incompetent or som...

aviator2010 wrote:I can admit when I'm wrong. And honestly that was the only negitive I've ever heard about the company so hs748 I will buy the next round when I'm in YWG next

No problem.

There are a few guys/gals who have been passed over for upgraded, but all for fair and valid reasons.

aviator2010 wrote:approved check pilots you probibly have 1 and he does all the rides right

Nope, wrong again

And, the ride isn't the issue, anyway, so nice try blaming it on the acp

same ACP everytime?

Nope, several different training captains ( senior and some-what junior)

QUALIFIED = UPGRADE. Simple as that. Don't blame a company or other pilots if you are not qualified. 2 or 3 guys cannot "sink you" at this company. the guy I'm thinking of has flowen the plane for something like 12 years and has been told he will never upgrade. Is there anyone at clam air that fits...

My last post on the non-upgrade issue.

No sim eval on the hawker!


Laughing because he blames others for his own issues.

Time to put transplanted on the "ignore list"

He is obviously sour that he couldn't get an upgrade, because his skills wern't up to par?!?!

Well, that answers my question, you are bitter that you did not get an upgrade, because you are not/were not qualified/competent?


If you are QUALIFIED and your seniority number comes up, you get an upgrade.

If you are not qualified, of course you are not going to get an upgrade.

keep your head down and watch where you step, some of the capt crew can get real nasty and make poor decisions about new comers careers and futures Not true.

-Good schedule -Decent pay :lol: 208 and PC drivers less than 38k a year? 1900 less than 50k 748's less than 55k Those are left seat spots. Of course overtime pays more, but thats just managements way of getting more than 3 nickels from a dime so they can justify to themselves that their pilots are...

I have been at Calm Air for about 10 years now. Great company, great schedule, good pay. Pilot group has a good working relationship with management. Awesome place to work. Schedule will depend on your base and aircraft type. 10 guaranteed days off per month ( usually more days off per month, though...

Might not sound like much but dividend paying stocks tend to out perform those that don't.

Ok, thanks for the lesson on dividends.

I DRIP over 10 companies right now, with all of it going straight back into the DRIPS.

For many reasons, WJ will not be on my list!

HS, every little bit helps. It doesn't impress you but it has impressed the investment community. For me it's somewhere between an extra 800 to a 1000 bucks year over year in my jeans. More than that if I let the stock ride a bit. Every six months I get a nice little raise and every year I work a l...

5 cents per share per quarter. WOW. That's something to get excited about!

Both statements are wrong.

Hey All I remember doing the NDB 08 in C-GFXM, and the VOR/DME 26 and looking for the Bolingbroke fuselages in the field 4 miles form the airport everytime.....good times... Can't imagine NavCanada installing ILS' anymore. With the cost and complexity involved, compared to an GPS approach, wouldn't...

Have been flying at CA for almost 10 years.

No complaints.

Great schedule, great pay, good management.

Awesome place to work, and seems to get better every year!

HS 748, I wasn't aware that I didn't make a reasonable compensation. I have contacted my bank and informed then that they have been defrauded - apparently I have invested in real estate, bought a new house, bought a new vehicle for my wife, bought a new truck, donated to charity, paid for a wedding...

Better to have a pilot in a casual outfit caring about the company, than a pilot dressed up "professionally" (whatever is defined as a professional look....???) not caring about the company. It's all about being happy and maybe a little bit different!!! After all, this company is different in many ...

Actually, those numbers are quite a bit off. It shows my hourly rate as $77, but it is actually $88. My minimums for a year work out to be around $85,000. Add in some overtime, and about $7000 in per diems, stock purchase plan = over $100,000 per year. Not bad for flying 2 or 3 days a week, and bein...
