Too bad AC doesn't weed out assho|es

Just be good at faking in the interview

Hey guys, I'm in Vancouver going to submit mine. Anyone have experience dealing with TC on the west coast?

Spending IS the economy. You are so off base it isn't funny. Investing is usually just hording, dead money, useless to anybody. I think that what they're saying is in a recession it would not be as bad because people would have savings vs spending it all. So I guess that means if we spend more we h...

Wonder if someone in the forces can answer. If we have x amount of pilots, and we have a shortage, why do they still make those pilots do things like work desks and other office jobs? If they were flying more that would solve the shortage no? I don't get it.

35 is kind of a low arbitrary number to choose. Many many new hires well over that age. To each their own of course. But giving up a mainline career with all its blemishes for a regional one is a bad idea. Unless you are totally adverse to giving up the 4th bar go to mainline. 10 times out of 10. W...

Im studying it now, and it's pretty good, they do a good job of explaining things with diagrams and what not. The only thing is there is alot of useless or not very important info which makes the course pretty long. Most of it won't be in the tests.

On the 737 at WestJet mainline, take home pay varies greatly depending on %ESP you put in.

if you do the full 20% your take home pay WILL be around 2000$/month. It is very sad.

Wow that's less than Jazz starting pay (well close considering ESP)

That's a good price considering some flight schools charge much more for a class 4

There is definitely something coming. I saw on one of their social media posts, a picture of their blank CRJ with the caption "Exciting things are happening".

I sure hope they stick around. Just more opportunities for pilots.

Saw that taxiing around today.. uhoh

This at Springbank Air Training College In Alberta. For my PPL and CPL almost $13,000 in PGIs alone even though almost all were in a group of 4 or more. Well, if thats the way they do it and its common there, they wouldnt change it cause theyre making more money off of less work. Too bad most stude...

Aerocourse book is good, just study that and all the CARs and instructor guide. Its a pretty easy test

So I just got billed by my flight school for the PGI's I'd done during training. However they were all charged at the instructor rate of $65, however a lot of these PGI's had up to 6 other students attend. Is it normal to be charged the 1 on 1 rate for group PGI's. I thought it was split amount the...

I know this is dependent on many factors but what would the average time be to bid from a YVR to eastern base like YUL or YYZ?

YUL probably right away. YYZ i don't know, probably a while type depending.

Heard that the two last GS were yvr Q4 only, is that base super empty and they try to fill it up or is there still some quick lateral movement to other bases possible early during training or right after it ( In other words, should I plan to establish in YVR for 20 minutes or 20 centuries? :lol: ) ...

GGN is up to no good again! Jazz released the list of pilots (by seniority) that they could accept in the next ground school and GGN said no! Essentially they only want to deem the “problem pilots” as surplus while holding the pilots who rightfully should have gone to Jazz at the beginning of Octob...

what made me laugh a bit was that they have assume gender X is basically equal to a male if you look at the weights, hows that for assuming

When AC hires a large number of pilots from Jazz when are the vacant positions posted? I know there is lots of communication between both airlines with respect to just how many pilots should flow and when. Only a small number of Jazz pilots were hired at AC over the summer, where as the first (very...

Got the call this week. I start on September 23!

Waited in the pool for about 3 days.

Congrats!

Entirely depends on you. Both are great companies. Jazz offers a bigger network, 3 types and several bases. AC network to travel on is nice. If you wanna go to AC then best way to do it. Porter is smaller but nice workplace environment, heard it's nice place to be. Downtown if you want to live in YY...

Are they short instructors? Are their instructors paid by the flight hour? Most "big" flight schools in Canada are busy enough that students can't even do commercial time building during the day time. Aircraft don't make money sitting on the ground. I wonder what's happening there. No they are paid...

I saw the opening for Greg's position, any idea where he's gone too?
