Re: New hire QOL: WB FO/RP or NB ?

Why isn't AC just get rid of the RP and replace it with FO possitions? Then train all new hires as FOs and train RPs to TO/Land? That way they can use those that would get hired as RP on domestic routes too. Training cost? Almost all other companies in the world use 1/2 extra FOs/Capt for augmented...

New hire QOL: WB FO/RP or NB ?

Title says it all... In terms of quality of life, as a new hire junior FO (YYZ or YUL based), what would be the best seat if your #1 criteria is to be home the most (either overnights or total time away from base)?

Widebody FO/RP or Narrow body FO?

Well by that same logic, tell that to Jazz pilots with kids and mortgages who were contractually supposed to flow in 2022 and 2023 who have been held behind while OTS hires with their wet 737 ratings or 703 command time are now senior to us as we continue to “protect the AC network”.

I was wondering if we can get hired as a FO with

TT 2500 hours
2200 hours on atr72

thanks
That would be competitive at Flair for an FO position in early 2023
Can you tell us which bases are being awarded at the moment across the system?

Re: DEC Jazz

I heard there's big delays getting your ATPL signed off with TC. Probably causing issues not just at Jazz but 703/704 as well for upgrading. Most 703/704 COMs don't require captain to have ATPL. You mostly require ATPL to be a training captain. Some companies will require ATPL for insurance/experie...

Re: Flow through to AC

A contract is a contract. We accepted lower wages for the FOs while getting the guarantee 60% (max 10% rejection).

ALPA MEC better be defending the contract.

Re: King Air / B1900 - IATRA?

Keep in mind as well, if you plan to jump to a 705 carrier with your IATRA and you flew the 1900, your IATRA hasn't been "activated". Make sure to look out for the expiry of your exam in that regards.

Re: New hire bids

Those captain vacancies are mind blowing... Can we expect a lot of 703/704 people to make the jump directly from a King Air to a left seat Q?

I'm wondering how much Jazz' training department and procedures are ready to accommodate those kind of candidates.

There are around 14,000 current ATP licenses issued in Canada.The estimates for pilot shortages in the US have a need for 8000-12,000 ATPs in the US in 2023.
