I have gouge for my aircraft. If I don’t see 50 kts with a good decel by the 3 board, I execute a go around, giving me 3,000 ft to get airborne. I feel that once the aircraft touches the ground, crews are sometime mentally committed to landing. There is always a go around option if you know your ai...

Once the reversers are deployed you are committed to landing in most jets.
You can’t just roll it into a touch and go.

Exactly, no private equity firm in the history of capitalism has let an acquisition sit on “billions of liquid cash”
That money’s gone homey, it’s just as likely Onex rips WJ down to the studs and then relists a lean mean flying machine as anything else.

Future so bright now that even wj managements family members have resumes at AC..... Of course management is going to be looking for jobs... they're the ones who have a target on their back. Onex isn't going to want to pay hundreds of people to do the jobs of tens. As far as pilots are concerned, w...

This is something that no one has been able to back up: why would Onex sell Encore, and who would buy it? Q400s aren't in demand at all, let alone used ones, and no one is going to pick up a CPA involving a regional airline that is hemorrhaging pilots so fast that it can't meet the requirements of ...

An observation from this old codger. Why do chaps make comments on Air Canada’s salary structure when they (a) do not work at that airline (b) explicitly imply they have no desire to do so. Insecurity, I assume. Using pay and schedule as an example, a corporate pilot should STFU about how good they...

Corporate and north of any of Air Canada's senior first officer wages flying a jet under 20T. I've been in this industry approximately 10 years. The average pilot salary was 176k last year at AC how did you stack against that? Did very well, thank you for asking. Not quite the 0.01% @ 302K, but I d...

Corporate and north of any of Air Canada's senior first officer wages flying a jet under 20T. I've been in this industry approximately 10 years. The highest paid AC FO made 302k last year without bonus or per diems. Did you beat that on a light jet? The average pilot salary was 176k last year at AC...

They even said Air Canada was forced to buy the C Series due to politics. Never mind whether it will or won’t fly off the island. (that remains to be seen) It’s not a secret that a large reason for the CSeries purchase was to get Quebec to drop the Aveos lawsuit, Mike Rosseau has said as much publi...

What’s your point? The M90 order wasn’t cancelled because it was a bad airplane, it’s because the US pilot unions won’t buckle on scope. The A220 won’t fit their scope clauses either. The New E175 won’t fly for US regionals either as it is too heavy to meet the standard scope clauses.

Just an FYI for the new ones coming with previous wide body FO time... the last class consisted of 10 people, 3 of which had 777 time from overseas carriers. Those 3 were FORCED out of seniority onto the 787 as FO's... don't think that has happened for quite sometime... surprised it is even allowed...

Two questions, what’s the difference between a theoretical 1500 hour pilot and the 3000 hour pilots currently sliding into “your” flow through positions? And what are you guys going to do about it except pout if they were? Ah ha! I didn't underestimate the troll value of this board :lol: "Everyone ...

On a broader scale, and no ill will towards any particular person striving for the best job that they can get, WJ will be facing a backlash if they actually do hire a 1500 TT applicant when there are 4000-6000+ hour DHC8-400 Captains waiting to flow which has been postponed Two questions, what’s th...

The list of people getting screwed as you declare does not expand with time. People not yet hired have no entitlement to anything. Anyone starting these days knows fully that they are walking into a quagmire of seniority problems. Frankly the number of pilots potentially affected is fixed. JJJ Grea...

Given the heightened security surrounding flying federal leaders perhaps these question are best left unanswered on a public forum? If someone needed to know how the flying gets done they would know by now. Give me a break if security was such a big deal they wouldn’t paint it with Conservative par...

What is the best aircraft to hold a yvr base for a new hire? If a new hire got yyz base how long will it take to get to yvr. Also any commuters on here what do you spend in a month commuting. Currently showing new hire Yvr spots on all narrowbody FO positions and some Widebody FO and RP. If you don...

Disregard. Encore pilots just got an email saying no flow for the fall because they're too short staffed. Fall classes will be all OTS.

Thats one way to keep the Air Canada HR inbox full.......

That’s the problem! Onex isn’t outside the lines. It’s nothing more then stall tactics from AC. Now the AC/TS merger, now that’s another story. Good luck with the competition bureau on that one. Well there you go. The CTA can drop their due diligence and go home, Hudson90 says its all good. You pro...

There's a reason we came and stay at TS, and most of us rather not see this merger happen either. No TSAM, I am trying to help you guys out. As you stated yourself the transat pilots dont even want to come to Air Canada. This could really work out for all of us, please help spread the word in the T...

All the Transat pilots in this thread that have talked about how much they would have preferred to stay an independent airline and how much better Transat is to work for then mainline should pledge their shares to Mach.

Its a yearly average. As I understand Jazz wasnt going to be able to fulfill its summer sched and send over 35 people a month. You will see some all Jazz courses in the fall.
