Re: WestJet Sunwing merger and seniority

Just a note from your posted article, revenue growth doesn’t mean profit growth. In fact a company can have 100 million in revenue with a 20 million profit and be much more successful than a company with 1 billion in revenue (10x growth) and only 10 million in profit. While it's true that revenue g...

Re: So over at TransAt.......PAY ATTENTION!

Are you here to add anything "Bud"?

Or are you just here to drop a few "zingers"? Sounds to me like you're part of the problem in this country.

Re: So over at TransAt.......PAY ATTENTION!

or we can all collectively SIT BACK DOWN and wait for the train to run us over, because it WILL. The train has already run over you. This is the worst airline in North America, the lowest paid, and frankly, every time I fly, it has one of the most miserable service in the world. Your airline is a g...

Re: Are Pilot wages actually that low?

Altiplano, Oil patch workers, truckers, shift workers in all industries have these challenges. None of them are paid when not at work as part of their hourly workweek regardless of if they are in a hotel away from home or not. If you feel disrespected by that or think that pilots are somehow specia...

Re: Distorted Gender View at Lynx

Ever think that you two can both be right. It shouldn't be about gender, just bad leadership. The media is making it all about gender and you are both falling for it. We would probably have more female pilots if we stopped progressing this narrative that female pilots need all this help to become fe...

If yes, I’m excited and will apply, if no, I’m not excited
Still doing it this year. They have announced that it will still happen next year, but ultimately it will be up to WestJet what happens beyond this year.

I've worked in many of these countries Voyager flies in and would be earning upwards of $120k USD plus benefits to fly smaller turbo props 10-15 years ago. There is no excusing this insulting salary.
