I dont believe that's even legal these days. You cant call it a 'day off' retroactively, it's only a day off if you know in advance.
It’s not, the old guard is having a hard time accepting this.

Re: Air Canada CEO summoned to Ottawa over English-only condolence video for LaGuardia crash

Two pilots dead due to the failure of multiple systems outside of their control designed to keep them alive. Our “leaders” priority? Admonish airline leadership for being unable to speak French. Disgusting political theatre but not at all surprising, take care of each other out there guys.

Re: Air Sprint Questions

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.

Re: Dock job at larger operator vs. flying right away at smaller company

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.

Re: Ornge Pc-24s?

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.

Re: Ornge Pc-24s?

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...

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

Re: YYZ RJ landing Accident

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...

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...

Re: TA

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".
