Re: The end of Flair?

Problem is, he is so blind that the building is crumbling around him but he doesn’t see it, he’s just sitting at the table sipping on his koolaid. The “glitches” are frequent and not conducive to a successful outcome. How many people will think twice about booking with Flair due to these problems. ...

Re: Well that was a good run...

More WestJet misinformation being spread through their politburo (the globe and mail). Flair hasn't cut any flights at all, let alone 600 of them. Not one. Can you point out exactly where in this article any information or comments came from Westjet? Do I really need to? WestJet spends 30 Million d...

The company is aware that there is a problem with online payments but isn't saying much other than the fact that they are working on it and should have things up and running by the end of today. There's been a few email about it throughout the weekend.

Re: Back into flying

If you're over 5 years, I guess you need to write the PSTR and do a flight review with an instructor. That would be the first step. PSTAR, and Medical renewal first, then; If it hasn't been 5 years since you last flew (as PIC or SIC) go now, don't let that 5 year date roll by. If it has then you ar...

Yes, most have, a few in institutions are slower than others. Pay day is the 15th, oh look it's still the 15th. Not ideal optics, but still going to work tomorrow.

Re: BAe 146 Runway Overrun

Wow, I'm surprised they didn't think reverse thrust was a good idea for these machines. Reverse thrust on a modern jet doesn't slow you down as much as you'd think. It might mean 200' shorter landing roll in a jet that size, the Avro relies on huge brakes and cooling fans to cool the brakes for a q...

Better get those new routes covered by tight scope language. If not, you’ll see the Bus drivers driving for YOS on the AirBus. :lol: definitely time to be looking for a scope clause in that contract.

Re: New Pay Increase for DH4 Captains

I got a bold 1$ per hour raise. I hoping this attracts more pilots here so i dont have to work as hard. Better than nothing. No one asked for a raise. The Q rates are already industry leading for the same type. Take your extra dollar and give it to Trudeau. And Trudeau wants his money on time, or h...

Re: MMG or Higher per hour pay?

Of course the answer is that it depends. If you fly all min credit days, or less than mmg, then 85 is better. If you fly a lot and hit mmg and OT is happening, then a lower mmg would be better. Last year I flew 800 hours, but got paid for 1020, plus I did another 20 k in double time GDOs. For me, I ...

Once you're there it likely depends what you did before leaving, and why you left (ie took time off to raise a family vs went to prison for a violent crime...very different reception witth HR ;)) ...
