I have flown with new-hires helicopter pilots doing line indoc at Jazz on multiple occasions. I don't beleive any of them had fixed wing hours beyond what is required for licencing. To quote a chief pilot, "once at the interview, they just have to explain and defend their experience".

Is this true for the Q as well? YVR would definitely be tight on an FO salary with the COL, but would be maybe be worth it if an upgrade was quick. Which bases/equip generally have the lowest upgrades? YYZ Q400? Looking at the seniority list it seems that YYC Q is the most senior Q base in the syst...

Exactly, this changes nothing. So why not take the money? If AC is serious about fixing regional flying they'll have to up the ante. If not we are fucked whatever we vote...

Full disclosure, I'm a 15 year jazz pilot, was seriously considering Porter, even had an interview booked. For family reasons, among other things I had decided to stay before this announcement. It is a democratic process and everyone must vote as per their personal convictions and interests. That be...

If this deal doesn't fix the problem it will have to be addressed again later. Why not collect the money while they observe wether the problem is fixed or not?
It's a yes from me

They don’t seem to be doing very many upgrades on the Embraer lately. Maybe they got tired of doing initials on Porters behalf? :mrgreen: There's no one left to upgrade.. that's false. they had plenty but seniority made it that 25 years old captain who used to fly val d'or and rouyn were better tha...

No, I'm not advocating anything. If you learned to read you would I understand I did not type a single word about any of that bullshit your so fond to confront about. I wrote: You are comparing 40+ years of racial segregation. You know, black people being denied rights in South Africa and stuff, wra...

Medical apartheid??!?

You're seriously comparing the requirement to get a vaccine to 40 years+ of racial segregation?

Get a clue

Nobody's flying, there is no vibe on the line.

Except the cities paired by those companies operating bigger metal have a population of 200 000, not 20 000.

Good Day Everyone, I am new here and this question might have been asked already, my apologies if so. I've been a 703/704 FO on a Multi-Turbo prop for about 8 month now. Started out of ramp in the middle of nowhere just like the old days. I am about to reach 1000TT soon. I've got an Aviation degree...

If it's not DOH, it's a sad day for aviation.

Toronto center, this is (insert airline here)1234 with you

About the PICUS program I'd like to advise not to bank on it. To log PICUS you have to be flying with a LTC; right now most LTCs are flying full line indoc lines, have been for the last 6 months+ and most likely will be for the foreseeable future. And if you are lucky enough to land a pairing with ...

Jazz requires 250 multi time minimum for non college/pathway applicants. If you don't have that your name will not show up in the system for interview calls. Explanation was rate of failure is higher (don't know numbers) for candidates with low multi time, therefore higher cost for the company hence...

I know for a fact the main requirements are 500 multi and A's. And sometimes they'll ask for only iatra when the bank of applications gets thinner.

I only know about Jazz, and it does have a PICUS program.
I do not know about other companies.

I wish more people thought that way

There is a new profit sharing program; details elude me, but I beleive it was said its structure would be similar to how management bonuses were calculated. As for share, there has been an Employee Share Ownership Program (ESOP) for a long time already, taken off your pay and the company matches a p...
