Spaces is a great resource. Now if we could just get them to issue atis on the hour like the US does, instead of 6...7...8...or 9 minutes after the hour. :roll:

Re: The Latest on Layoffs

Your response to my post indicates to me that you think very differently or you need to read more carefully. You are over-complicating things to further your rhetoric. Or you're the one making a simple reduction in the size of your workforce seem like something other than what it is. It's a reducti...

Re: CBC coverage- Pilot’s frustrated ATC rant

I'm pretty sure I've seen that particular rumour here on avcanada. Seems like a bad idea to be airing it in public when there isn't any actual evidence. Better to stick to the facts: this has been an issue since long before covid, and then poor decisions during covid just made it infinitely worse. ...

Re: Minority stake of WJ sold

Probably shows how much of a losing venture Swoop was.

Lots of upside to the US, Korean, and French investment for WS though. I think it'll be a real positive, especially if they move their focus to more than the 4th largest market in Canada at some point.

Re: Minority stake of WJ sold

How much did Onex buy WJ for? Cause they sold 25% for 550 million. That's a 2.2 billion valuation. Onex paid about 3.5 billion and assumed debt which put the total transaction value around 5 billion at the time of purchase. There is a bit of a mix between USD and CAD. The valuation is 2.2b USD or 3...

We have hired several pilots with around 1000 TT, however we prefer at least some of that experience to be operational 703/704 time. It is unlikely that a candid...

I would definitely start reaching out to chief flying instructors now, you can send a resume with an estimated completion date. Just remember weather, maintenance, and a few other factors outside of your control can delay things.

Re: Cost of Commuting

F8 was the last airline to stop the free reciprocal JS, nobody here knows why we did, it just happened one day. And WS was the first and only airline that I know of to weaponize JS travel. We have a mess of a JS program in this country and need to take the power back.
