Did the myid travel thing get sorted out?

Who can you js on these days as a Cargojet pilot?

Westjet? AC? Transat? United?

Thanks!

And we are certified!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Well Sky just certified under ALPA... so it would be a rather easy merger I suppose.

Is Chorus buying sky regional and ggn and merging it all under one Air Canada Express company?

What is the likelihood of this with Sky being moments away from certification, and then, what would a merger look like among all three ?

I wish you guys the best boys and girls. Make sure you stand together on strike mandates so that you give your negotiating committee a powerful stance. No body here is going to lose their jobs. And if you do, the industry is booming. Look at it as a paid vacation, as ALPA fights them in court, gets ...

Keep in mind here DEC applicants. For every 2months reserve, 1 month block rotation you will be doing until you're off standby, there will be FO's upgrading and keeping you in your current slot percentage wise. I would imagine this will not be a get-jet-pic-quick scheme for any DEC. And if we are ta...

How is it looking? Are we close? I keep hearing its any day now before a big announcement.

Be aware... sky regional will be moving over to a pure seniority based system in the new year. If you came in as DEC today you'd be joining behind 100+ captains and 130 odd some FO's ahead who will be upgrading and keeping you in your current standing, seniority wise. I would imagine this would affe...

Is it me, or did the Sky Regional FO ads not used to have a 1500 hour minimum requirement for First Officers? Looks like it is not there anymore.

Yes those complaints were from 727 Second Officers or First Officers. I don't think there are any 767/757 First Officer's that came to Sky Regional, you're right. Thanks for clarifying that. Sounds not too bad on the 767/757 side of things.

Per diems is not salary. Just in case someone thought that’s why I was asking. Just seemed like 20k in per diems was a hefty amount. Lots of cargojet Guys hired at sky regional in the last 12 months. They seem to not have liked it so much. Sounds like the flying gig could have been great if it weren...

What is a realistic year to date for your per diems? I as well thought that 15-20k made sense.

Thanks!

With the new CBA just ratified, Pilots will bid 16 days a month. You now bid your stats in a 5 day block and a 4 day block, after 1 year you are alloted 3 weeks vacation, 4 after 10, 5 after 20. So you can deduct these of some of your months. This has been and will continue to be a contencious issu...

All of the new hires at Sky Regional are being told that there’s a big announcement coming this fall, and many are speculating it’s the E190. I always thought ACPA had a hard rule in the scope clause for 76 PAX, and that this would never happen. What’s the word like at AC? Can someone shed some light?

I got the we are unable to offer employment at this time. Welcome to reapply in 6 months about a month after interview. I am ots. Seems like the 12 month email is better then the one I got. JLA are you with an express carrier? Wonder if that has anything to do with different emails. I did medical a...

I went through the AC medical recently. Here's exactly the order of things that went down. 1. Show up to medical office with aviation license. They took a photocopy of it. 2. Fill out questionnaire about medical history. A lot of questions regarding sound exposure and whether your present job has yo...

SR. Captain. Degree. 7 Weeks Between Interview and PFO. Passed Medical. SR Called, Good Reference Given. WTF Flag Raised. Guess they do care about parking express planes? My email said my skills and qualifications were given full consideration, and that AC is not prepared to offer me employment at t...

Word is 10 from sky regional to swoop in April... not confirmed. all captains.

Sky Regional is 11 GDO's. Realistically work around 14-16 days a month as we get grey days to offset our schedule to prevent scheduled Over Time.

To put the whole hire outside versus hire express perspective into perspective, here's the reality of the situation and AC is very much aware of this. What is the liability for AC regarding Express New Hires? Footing the bill for replacement at express, and paying for the training at mainline. What ...

Just to be clear, I was not putting you in your place as Confused said DropTanks. I think I agree with you there Drop. The interview used to be a joke during the time guys like us got on. It’s a bit more formalized now. Most of the people getting on I have to admit seem pretty eager and trainable. M...

Sorry DropTanks. Sky Regional is still rejecting pilots with lots of good time. I think they still have plenty of applications to be this selective. Will the tide shift? I would imagine yes. But they're sticking to their 1500 hour requirement, not dropping it, and some high time guys/gals are gettin...

Straight from the document Air Canada will value a candidate’s flying experience in a number of ways. Some of the experience deemed desirable includes multi-engine time, experience in a two-crew environment, Pilot in Command time, time on an aircraft with a max ramp weight in excess of 15,000 kg, et...

I don't have Type 2, but here's what I found for you on the TC website regarding Type 2 and your medical https://www.tc.gc.ca/eng/civilaviation/publications/tp13312-2-menu-2331.htm The general summary talks about the concern for incapacitation due to reduced blood sugars "hy po glycemia" be it from ...
