Just a quick question regarding this great new plan to expand into "The Triangle"...as the previous poster mentioned, it's long been a tough place to steal market share, and it's no secret that the deeper the pockets of your competition, the longer the money draining fight will last...keeping this ...

As usual, truthful, classy and professional.

Thanks for putting all those rumours to bed Dave.



Cheers

TOO funny.

Very good conversation by all. Here is why I will always load and request the short gate into any city. Twice on my last pairing we loaded the short gate before TOD and when we checked in on arival let them know we had it ready if able. Once we heard another aircraft be told he was number 7 for the ...

Not a Jazz guy, but agree 100% Done! Good luck to all.

The Skyservice charter airline filed for receivership and shut down its operations Wednesday. Citing debt levels and changes in the Canadian vacation travel market, the company cancelled flights out of Toronto's Pearson airport on Wednesday, "as well as all remaining flights scheduled to depart Cana...

Right now I live in YEG and spend 2-3 nights per month away from home....the rest are on overnights or not working nights...pretty good for an airline gig! So anywhere from 25 to 29 nights per month at home. Now some of those are 10-11 hrs on the ground, but others are as long as 27 hrs, depends on ...

First off, I have never met a King Air capt. that made 100+k, at least not in Canada. Secondly, people love to focus on the fact that we had Germans working for us (this was their last year), rather than the fact that CanJet has created more pilot jobs in the last few years than any other company i...

It looks better in person than in the picture, but still isn't great! As far as the WestJet Vacations paint job.....wait for it!

First I've heard of this. A few letters to our WJPA will get this sorted out. Is it sorted out yet? Yes it is sorted...no embargo. Period. Jumpseat as normal. See email below from our WJPA guy. Cheers Alright. This rumour seems to have grown into quite the snowball effect. Guys are phoning and emai...

LMFAO. That was priceless.

What you said...agreed.
I bought a watch with my first profit sharing cheque, today they tell me it's $125 for a new titanium strap.
I'll be ecstatic if my cheque will by me the new strap.

So McDoo, you gotta agree with me..."It's all good" right?

C'mon Johnny, you know it's all good!

Will certainly remember your caring attitudes next time there are 3 of you trying to get home for free and only one jumpseat. I have also sat in our jump for 3 hours to get a westjetter home. Nice to know the comradary only works one way. Will cite the "take your own airline home" comment as justif...

He's certainly well qualified. I do think it's a little early to speculate on how he'll do. The place is littered with the remnants of people that have come and gone for various reasons over the life of the company. Here's hoping It's never too early to speculate on how someone will do, but sometim...

Skip all the dribble at the beginning of the article, but go to the very end, perhaps it is a good idea to cut back a bit...I don't know, but the numbers do sorta speak for themselves.

Just flew into YEG the other night and a SW 800 landed ahead of us and parked next to us at gate 60. There was only 23, as best as we could count, (using fingers and toes of course :lol: ) people from the SW airplane. I am not sure how they are doing financially, but with loads like that, it can't b...

Well ill through my 2 cents into the ring.... I dont know about other terminals but in CYYC we know your planning the short RNP everytime, why you say, because your company repeatedly sends us letters telling us to. Just this morning i walked in to read the 3rd letter this year saying "please give ...

We got a memo from our Ops that came from Nav Can asking that we plan to do the short gate RNPs whenever possible.....so then we start doing it and we get a lot of "sorry, unable" Just doin' what we are told!.

WRC, thanks for this info: Quote: Kind of like the guys who won't stop forwarding logbook pages after being told to stop or as DR said, "all they've got to do is....nothing, and they still won't stop". I had an F/O tell me this some few pairings ago, and I responded that I thought the memo had initi...

Four1oh The current issues that are on WJ's doorstep these days didn't exist 12 years ago, nor 5 years ago. Well um let's see, topic is "Accommodations for Westjet new hirers during training".

The problem is, TC won't certify the new combi's with moveable bulkheads. They are worried about fire/smoke protection, so it has to be sealed for any combis' except the -200's which are exempt under the old rules. Cheers Alaska makes it work with the -400 combi. Boeing will be happy sell you a -700...

shut it up dave.
