Thunder without a question. Thunder tries to follow the rules Skyscare tries not to get caught breaking then. They're disturbingly good at it. Skycare has a nasty bond, and a nasty game they play that forces you to stay. Call it "Hotel Skycare". Start as a Metro/WW FO. Just before your bond is up, ...

PIT seats will all be full. Whether Contract 2023 meets the staffing and experience needs of the operation over the next 3+ years will not be known for several bids. This is totally false. They've been struggling hard this year to attract candidates and have been giving out job offeres less than 10...

The landscape of flight training is shifting in this country and eventually it will almost all be program structured with airline partnership just like the european system. We already have Jazz and Flair running their own schools. So i can see in the future people would have to travel far away from ...

I hear that Transat is second to none when it comes to QOL

Im very surprised you're able to hold a cat 1 while being blind on one eye. That's shocking actually

Please, give me an example of anyone being placed on a no fly list due to their opinions rather than their violent actions or CREDIBLE terrorism threats. Because really, over half of Canada wouldn’t be able to fly based on their public opinion of Justin Trudeau if what you are saying was even remot...

What about people who call "jihad" on Palestinians? Would you be okay with them being put on the no fly list? There's countless videos of those calling for palestinian genocide and those actually commiting it over there.


Very tunnel visioned view you have

In every media publications when it comes down to numbers they only ever seem to post the top seniority widebody captains as a reference. Why are we not countering this?? The public needs to see the 40% that are on flatpay making well under 100k

Is there something wrong with binding arbitration? Seems like a judge-like person looks at both sides and makes a decision that is reasonable. I was a member of a union that had a no strike clause and binding arbitration as policy. It worked out quite well for us at that time and I remember the com...

I had a dream yr 1 fo was $100hr That's more of a nightmare. It would only equate to 90k/year. Imagine after all this struggle and fighting, that the flag carrier only manages to match the same starting salary as Flair (an airline that charges $50 fares) $100 is pitifully low and should get a no vote

Lol...starting pay is $60k per year Can we stop throwing around the number 60? We start at 58k. I know its not a huge difference but we need to be very transparent and fiercly reminding everyone that is the unbelievable salary we make at the flag carier. That way when the battle heats up hopefully ...

Good luck to all involved, but don't stress, you will definitely land on your feet in short order.

Yet they still make new postings... even after the announcement

Here's a great one for laughs. "BC Yukon air" on pcc is asking for 2000hrs to fly a Piper cub !

Hope to god they were late on april fools

Calls are also going out for April 17th class

Both classes are full.

Just got the call

Do you know what positions would be available?

I didn't know picking it up was looked down upon right now. I agree that helping out the pilot group at this time is more worthwhile than short-term gain. Hopefully the new contract would be enough that one wouldn't need OT or picking up a 2nd job to get by Isn't the plan to add at least another 120...

Hello. I'm considering AC vs some other options. I was initially leaning towards AC but now have become doubtful due to just how far back they are in terms of pay vs every one else and how much one would have to struggle the first year. The only way i see surviving on $58k in a big city is picking u...

Hi all, Email invitations are now going out to OTS for interviews in March for April ground school starts. Would it really be that soon after??? I thought the wait time post interview to hear back was around 4 months. So if you interview March shouldn't you expect to start during the summer? If suc...

Why is everyone assuming that AC won't be effected by this?? Y5 captain on the E2 makes more than an AC captain. At AC it takes you much much longer to be sitting on the left seat, and even once you get there a porter captain will be set to make more than you in a few years. And much more than you b...

18 months, $9k. Reduces monthly, nothing up front. 28 day blocks, 18 working days, 10 days off. 12 floating stat days to use whenever you want. Almost always have weekends off. Mix of Workforce Transportation, charter and Scheduled Service. Very few overnights. Left seat starts around $74k, right s...

Can you people stop pming eachother this kind of info? It should be posted out in the open so everyone can see to decide or form an opinion. By keeping things secret, you're really only just helping the company and not helping your fellow pilots

Thanks for posting the above information Dronepiper. This is a great thread and very informative for guys and gals pursuing flying jobs at 703 operators. PS. If anyone has current salary/schedule info for Thunder Airlines could you please share or send me a private message. Thanks. They start off a...

Here So you dug around for payscales much higher than average and still couldn't show us that any of them are "over $65000". The closest you came was missinipi (possibly the highest paying 703 the country) where under certain conditions (flying medevac) you can reach the peak canadian 703 FO of 650...

#1 Low paying operators tend to crash more. Experienced pilots leave and novices are left trying to fly a Saab safely in the mountains. Many 703 operators who don't post every day on Avcanada are paying direct entry captains $140,000 base salary, add in mileage pay, vacation pay, and per diems and ...

Despite the wokeism and mild cringe, I kind of like this show.... I think it's because there is nothing else out there which relates as much to the world of a canadian pilot. What's strange though is that they and cater so much to the aviation crowd that regular people might get turned off from the ...

I don't know about the soil part, but they certainly don't need it when airborne on N registered aircrafts. Even if they took off from ottawa

Regardless, the guy is just being a dick
