Re: Vaccinated people told not to travel in Spain and Russia

I’ve got all the vaccines growing up and the required boosters. How pilots who have to upkeep a medical have elected to volunteer for an emergency use vaccine, with its side effects to be seen, is beyond the definition of gambling to me. And when you ask most of them, it’s all on a speculation that ...

What's appropriate? A one-way trip to the ME.

Re: United Airlines hiring goals

I've flown with a lot of white pilots that sucked, as well as some black pilots who taught me something. Get the visible minority to apply and give him/her/he-she a fair shot, but for the love of God, if the white man knows his shit, hire him too. There's nothing that breeds systemic racism more tha...

L oh Fucking L I know, I chuckled at that too as I typed it. I had to put it in to see if anyone would catch the sarcasm. Good Job, lol.

Re: Transat revenues drop by 99%, with 2,000 layoffs expected

Everyone has a version they want this to go. I prefer to stay separate, as I think AC has an interesting road to recovery as is because of the 60% business diversity the company is vested in. The pilot group seems more bitter than ever, I can’t imagine those conversations being pleasant in the fligh...

Based on my experience understanding the average intelligence of Canadians, and pilots (who often pretend they are very smart when in fact they are not) I would say... No.

Re: Air Canada Revises the Terms of its Capacity Purchase Agreement with Chorus Aviation for Regional Flying

So what does this mean? If you're a 20 some year old First Officer at Jazz, upset by the integration of 280 some sky regional pilot's, understand that you'd probably not even be on a seniority list with 90% chance of going to AC as little as just 5 years ago. This right here is what needs to change...

Who do they think they are? They think(know) they are Jazz pilots who have been there from 1 to 10 years who will now lose seniority during the worst time our industry has ever seen. Any of those juniors under 2 years have only seen their seniority decrease. Times have changed and this is a step fo...

Re: Air Canada Revises the Terms of its Capacity Purchase Agreement with Chorus Aviation for Regional Flying

Sky pilots decided to join ALPA so that if a day like this turned out, they were united with their counterparts next door. Looks like they’re being rewarded for that decision back in 2016 to join ALPA. I call them smart, not lucky. SKV pilots joined ALPA in November 2018. Correct, typo. Thanks!

Re: Air Canada Revises the Terms of its Capacity Purchase Agreement with Chorus Aviation for Regional Flying

Sky pilots going to AC BOTL, that would upset a lot of Jazz pilot's more than integration I bet. Heck why not? Sky pilot's are basically Air Canada, at half the wages. Unlike jazz, they already deal with AC flight plans, dispatch, socc, gate agents, etc. I'm sure a differences course/initial course ...
