Just when you're wondering what the point of this forum is, there a wonderful thread like this. Thank you.

No news is no news would be more accurate.

That must be rough.

Until you lose one plane and you're out $37 million U.S. Those things are insanely expensive.

So who got woken up by the Nuclear alert? Seems like it was just sent in error.

Nobody said they didn't calculate landing distance, did they?

The medical issue aside, was the arguing over the refunds really worth it in the long run? Why do soooo many organizations do this? The bad PR is never considered. That family will never fly Swoop again, and they’ll be sure their friends know. I had the same experience with a winery who flatly refu...

What about keeping your pot off the ground while in the fire?

Why don't you guys lay off the cyber bullying? Was this person's video really so offensive? I didn't see it.

But on a serious note what the heck will the airline do to get passengers to fly on this plane and how will they rebrand!

Charge $5 less.

Oops.

Not completely accurate.

They are not "making" that, they are guaranteed that (75 hour/mo) flying pay in the first year.

I thought they were currently getting 70 hours a month?

What do you despise about Vancouver? You may find similar issues elsewhere.

First year 737 FO's are currently making $50,450 CAD per year (28,750 GBP).

Currently showing 836 vacancies. That doesn't include retirements over the next year, fleet expansion, increased positions for new duty rules, etc.

Nor does it include the merger of Air Transat pilot however.

Upgrades currently being awarded at ~18 months at AC today.

The Northwest Company might be regretting their purchase at this point.

Had to chuckle when I saw this today:
"The integration of North Star Air will lead to further synergies and better logistic solutions."

My personal experience with their hiring process was overwhelmingly negative, and unprofessional, and personally I would never apply there again. But to each his own. What happened to you? I remember heading out to Abbotsford for an interview and never got an answer afterwards. After a month or so ...

Things must have changed since I was in the industry I can't remember many pilots getting to that pay level in less than ten years.

There are NB Captains at AC in their 20's, I've heard.

Interesting that KLM's latest advertising suggests that you ask yourself if you really need to fly or not. It's obviously virtue signalling as I'm sure they did the math and realized they could put out something like this and it wouldn't hurt their bottom line. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L4htp2...

Jazz in association with Seneca College and CAE are launching a pay for type rating program with the promise of a FO job at Jazz upon completion (some conditions apply). Coming with zero flight time you will start with 18 months of integrated ATPL training at Seneca followed by the CRJ200 type ratin...

I believe that is the truth for you Schnitzel but many AC pilots are forced to listen to their friends and acquaintances go through some kind of weird coping mechanism to justify why it's a good thing they never applied, or did and got PFO'd. So we tend to automatically tune out when someone starts ...

C-FUQZ

Neat

I had 5000+ hours command and an ATPL I would have done anything to be an FO on the -8 at Jazz and never could get a call from them. Honestly I think there was some problem with Jazz's HR or application system back in the day. I could never get a response out of them either but had no problems gett...

What makes YVR especially good for reserve?
