Re: Cargojet Base Closures and of Course Layoffs

Arewethereyet, On Cargojet taking care of its own, consider this; Cargojet is a publicly traded company. As such, the financial results are openly disclosed and made available to the public as you're obviously aware judging by your last post. EBITDA this past quarter as you point out, has decreased ...

Re: CargoJet

When you get hired as an S/O, you will remain in that position until you bid and are awarded a different position. This doesn't necessarily mean that the transition will be S/O to 1900, it all depends on your qualifications, seniority and desired path. To give you some background and my reply some c...

Re: CargoJet interview??

Captain Haddock, See, there's a reason you now get the low grade stuff. One fine evening in YVR, R1830 graciously hosted a pre-Foggy Dew get together in his room. He kindly offered me some of the aforementioned rum which naturally, I happily accepted. Well, after we both enjoyed a couple of his form...

Re: cargojet

Helmitfired, What compels you to get personal on a public forum? And guessing identities? A bit weak, don't you think? Judging by your posts, I could hazard a guess as to who you are but what'll that do for me? Have you run out of objectivity, resigning yourself instead to the all too common mud sli...

That's right Cargo.King, just a couple of examples out of countless others. What did it take last week when there was infact a widespread issue amongst the pilots? A total of about 48 hours between the time the issue was brought to the attention of the CEO and management and the conference call anno...

That's right, 2 767s and a 757 for now. This in addition the new regional program makes for some busy times and with a recession looming on the horizon, busy is a good way to be. Good luck to all.

You're quite right in pointing out how things change in a year, the guys that were hired as S/O's a year ago are now the next to be upgraded. The group that was hired after them will...
