So uno reverse out of pure curiosity, I’m typed on the C25A/B. Is there a financial incentive for typed pilots to choose sprint?

I do appreciate your continued engagement with us, more companies should be this open.

There's a video floating around taken by the backseater showing severe aileron flutter on the right side. The fact they made it to the ground alive is impressive in itself.

You'd be lucky to find a line-pilot at 150k these days.This position is worth 200k minimum.

Without hesitation option 2. Nothing in this industry is a guarantee, we’re one executive order away from another downturn at any moment. Get flying whatever you can ASAP and don’t look back.

Everyone I've run into lately at FBO's are short crew. ATPL holders are still in high demand, admittedly I'm out of touch with the low pilot time market.

Who cares about parachutes? Negotiate your starting salary before joining the union and sit right seat if necessary getting paid the same. You need to attract and retain talent. The only thing seniority is good for at Ornge was vacation bidding. The jet guys at the BOTL will get the shaft if PC-12 ...

Not a rumour, part of the fleet renewal and expansion, I believe they will have 12 new pc12’s and the 2 jets. I think the timeline is around 2026 but stand to be corrected on that. Instead of basing the jets at the already operating super bases in CYQT and CYSB they will be based in CYLS for some re...

Classic dinosaur mentality. Can’t wait for all you to retire!

I'm 35 you dolt, you'll be waiting a while. Probably in the right seat because you don't have an ATPL.

Normally on a crosswind touchdown it’s not right at the point of a stall with a flat pitch. Therefore the right wheel here, although it seems like almost a “three point”, took on all of weight (W). The wing’s W (most of the left as well, and tail downforce) is all unloaded (exactly straight down) o...

Jesus I hope not. Go fly a king air if you still need hours for your ATPL.

Rookie is right, Barrie is your best bet. The GTA airports are not at all GA friendly and Brampton is pretty congested in my experience.

Looks like another “hard landing”. Truly amazing outcome considering how beat up she looks.

Government = so I pay for it. If I choose to live in a small town, far from services, why should I expect others to subsidize my life choices? The second part of that question— as a whole. Why do we expect others to ever subsidize our life choices? So a 5 year old with cancer in Northern Ontario sh...

Government pays for it. The similarity would be if you went to the hospital in a small town and they admitted you then realized they can’t treat you due to a lack of services then you would be transferred to the big city hospital by ambulance and you don’t pay for that ride as it’s covered by the g...

Another "rough landing" in Halifax tonight as well, PAL dash huit.

Sim eval now? Gotta prove your worthy of flying the flag with that world class contract eh.

Remember when I was called a troll for stating that ALPA is going to cave and only get you a starting salary of 75-85k? Welcome to ALPA. Pepperidge farm remembers. But seriously, count me in the I thought it would be different this time camp. I'm sorry to all the Junior AC pilots that this TA hurts...

Out of curiosity are there any other groups at AC that have to sit through years of flat pay? Or is that honour only reserved for the pilots? I don't understand the obsession with flat pay for the privilege of "flying the flag".

Well that's disappointing, you had all the leverage. I hope this gets a 98% no vote. This is your only shot and it's slipping away.

The Conservatives, Bloc and NDP have all indicated support for the pilots. The only thing Trudeau loves more than himself is being PM. I think you guys have the Libs by the nuts on this one. Got get it, hold the line.

That is the stuff of nightmares.

For those posting what could easily be considered threats or making posts that are clearly in direct opposition to social media policy, if you are actually a pilot at mainline then you might want to reconsider your postings. If you don't think that cooperate security is watching this then you are d...

Nobody's lowering the bar by coming back DEC after a stint in the sandbox. We've already ensured the bar is plenty low enough on our own thanks to decades of concessions and shit contracts. If someone wants to head east to get rich quick and then take a twilight job back home afterwards, good for th...

Well done westjet engineers, your CEO and government failed you miserably. If I see your picket Coffee is on me.

The only guarantee in Canadian Aviation is change. You're right, outside of AC nothing is permanent. Many of us go through a "lifer" company shutdown or restructure by the time AC is an option.
