Re: WestJet VS CargoJet

While being Captain isn’t everything that has to factor into the equation. How long to a left seat for those hired today? 15 years? That right seat is going to feel uncomfortable after a decade. If you're putting upgrade times over longterm income and quality of life, then Cargojet is the obvious c...

Re: 1200TT pilot with jet time advice

Go to a northern operator, get some bush time and wait your turn. Too many of your type in the industry who think they’re entitled. You're telling them to wait their turn... Meanwhile you're stuck on Kingairs with thousands of hours unable to land a 705 job of your own. Sounds like you've got a lot...

Re: Flair Suspending Growth Plans amid Delivery Delays and Debt

It's no rumour. We are losing people like crazy. Those that are left behind have stopped answering the phone when crew sched calls. Double time just doesn't have the same appeal any more and the company seems to think it's better to cancel flights than to offer triple time. A full PVR turn was just...

Re: Flair Suspending Growth Plans amid Delivery Delays and Debt

I’m curious why most post they’ll feel bad if flair goes bust. Maybe I’m to black and white but my thoughts are your working for a company not servicing debt at current ticket prices undercutting legitimate airlines and associated employees.

Re: Invites for 2024 GS?

What will be interesting is after the merger the low time Sunwing guys that I’ve heard they’ve been hiring a lot of lately will likely not be able to fly at WJ. Perhaps the plan will be to offer them a position at Encore, and hence solve some of Encore’s staffing issues (for FOs anyway). I can’t se...

That’s ridiculous yes. But do you really think posting the internal issues of your airline on a public forum is the most appropriate or professional thing to do ? If you aren't happy with how things are being run, absolutely you should share these experiences!!! No one who is happy at their company...

I hope they investigate the bot users. Imagine using bots, and then not being able to so much as drop a pairing for a couple years... Or ever? What you get is what you work. Karma.

Unless you are working or have worked at WestJet over the past few years, you have no idea how significant the gains were in the recent contract. Money was a relatively small part of it.

Re: Changing Airspace for CPL

I wouldn't necessarily change airports for that specific reason.
You will have lots of opportunity to fly into controlled airspace during your time building.
