Get your instructor rating and go to the airline asap. 1500 hr instructors are getting hired at westjet, transat, flair and other airlines. Airlines are fun, you get paid more, work less, and get travel benefits. You could use those to go explore the north on your many days off. Don't EVER discoura...

Nobody hires pilots from SkyLink. I know one who went direct to WestJet recently. As in within the last few months. Two just left for Porter and another one is an AC 777 FO as new hire. It’s faster to get into WJ through Skylink than Encore but a few years. From the lowest paid 1900 CA to the lowes...

You can go from WB RP straight to NB CA as long as your seniority can hold the position. Upgrading to a type you’ve never operated before comes with its own set of challenges but it’s fairly common these days. Do you know which of the WB RP positions has the best QOL? From what I can tell the 330 s...

No. 2019 as of the 23-04 bid.

Do they still do calls for reference checks or is it just an email they have to reply to? What do they ask in the reference check?

They do both

As for questions, I don't know

"Does the candidate have a pulse?"

...I've heard AC might have allowed flat pay to accrue, but looking for clarification on that. Man it's insane how many people seem to think this....even captains I've flown with. No we absolutely did not accrue YOS. No CEWS...nothjng. All of that on top of all communication being cut off from ACPA...

Is there enough time for a junior AC FO to run a side business or do a second job? Unfortunately it seems that is the only way I can make the flat pay work for my family. If your a jazz CA then its best if you save alot money at the side as an income to overcome that 4 years of low starting pay. If...

VPS 3 emails went out today. There were enough bypasses that it went all the way to the BOTL with even some remaining vacancies (4 YYZ Rouge 319 and 1 YYZ 330 FO).

What does ASPilotsUnited stand for? Are you guys unionizing? Didn't the guy who tried to start a union mysteriously leave the company within a few weeks? We are a small group of a few senior and newer pilots whom are carrying on where the last left off, albeit in a less combative manner in a more a...

It's neither a precision approach, nor NPA. It's considered an "approach procedure with vertical guidance" So a precision approach. Nah. From ICAO: "APV approaches terminate in a visual segment and provide for a “straight-in” landing. APV approaches can provide a lower DA than precision approaches ...

There seem to be different opinions regarding whether an LPV approach to 200' minimums is a Precision Approach or a Non-Precision Approach. Of course, no credit may be taken for LPV or LP lines of minima with regards to alternate aerodrome weather minima requirements (but that's not the question). ...

I find the best way to change my life is to change myself for the better first. There was a time I was so upset at the government, employers, and other people but, none of that helped me.

Wrong type...it's a B690 (767 - 10%)

Sooo, is everyone recalled now at AC?

Not even close. Only 279 out of 600, and only 100 have training dates right now. Industry-wide, we're the first ones furloughed and last to be recalled.

It sounds like the government is on the verge of reimposing further travel restrictions. What's the over/under this will affect recalls and the everyone back by June plan? They've already been tripping over their own dicks by dragging their feet with the recall process and caught with their pants d...

Pretty encouraging to see. 179 pilots trained in 2.5 months is pretty ambitious. I was highly skeptical of the notion of rest of us being back on the property by Summer's end, but these numbers jibe with that.

Lol no.

All the best!

That would be great, Keith, but until the training plan comes out, you really have no idea.

I love how they keep referring to it as "Boeing's newest 737". I guess "MAX" doesn't have the same marketing appeal these days.

These excessive COVID headline posts from BOTH sides are quickly becoming a cancer spreading throughout the body of Avcanada. This is for the 99% of users on here who just creep, reading the constant drivel from the same 5-6 people.
