Re: Huge discouragement

Wow! Surprised to read this. I was under the impression operators are struggling to find pilots now days. There must be some entry level ramp/dispatch jobs available.

Pick a few places you really are interested in and keep hitting on them. Go there and keep calling!

737 headset

I need a noise cancelling headset. The telex 750 isn't cutting it for me on this machine. What are you guys/gals on the 737 using?

I think it was just the flavour of the month rumour at Jazz that people ran with.

Re: Transat to merge with/buy out Company X ???

We're approaching the end of June and on the TS side of things, there's hardly any talk about any merge. What kind of stuff/rumours is floating around at Jazz these days?

Re: Poor Pilot's Second Job?

Try finding something in aviation if possible. When instructing, I got a second job working the ramp at an FBO. It helped to keep my head above the water financially and it was a great place to meet people. Eventually it led to my first turboprop job.

Re: Transat CBA

I think the Canjet contract is up in 2013, however, it doesn't mean we can't operate narrow bodies ourselves before then. The new agreement is just in case. It might not even happen at all. Nothing is written in stone about actually acquiring our own 737's. It's all talk right now.

Re: Transat CBA

Yeah it's not a perfect contract but overall it's good. The union guys worked hard for it and it was voted in at 75 percent in favour. The payscale has increased except unfortunately new hires will start with 50k and 55k respectively for year one and two before transitioning to the regular scale. Fo...

Re: Air Transat ?

I think the fleet renewal plan is to replace the 310's. There's talk of 767's starting in 2012. They might add another 330 or 2, but to have only 330's isn't very ideal for all the runs. But, who knows, talk is talk.

Re: Grim Prospects

North America: Carriers in this region are expected to deliver the best performance for 2009 with a combined US$100 million profit. A 7.5% fall in demand is expected to be matched by a 7.5% cut in capacity. Despite the worsening economic conditions, this is relatively unchanged from the earlier for...

Re: I just don't get it..some explain?

As far as the speedbrake. Often it's an ATC thing. You might want to start a descent, request it then get denied due to traffic or whatever reason. I can't tell you how many times coming in to YYZ we have no choice to use our brakes because they have to keep us above departing traffic.

Re: Ramp Jobs in YYZ

When I was instructing near the Toronto area I also worked the ramp at the Shell Aerocentre back in 04. I started part-time initially then full-time. It definitely helped out financially but more importantly it gave me the opportunity to make contacts and eventually lead to the right seat of a Metro...

Re: Zoom Airlines may fly again

I don't think it's that easy to break into the Asian market as a Canadian carrier. Lot's of red tape and bureaucracy to get by. Transat has been trying to get in there for quite a while. Zoom coming back? Isn't this a little risky with the given economy. Things aren't getting any better out there. S...
