Dear God I will NEVER put myself or my family into a Jazz airplane again. Seriously, what a clown show. Renting a C152 so you can hold the license to command an aircraft at a supposedly professional airline?! Talk about circumventing the spirit of the rules. I feel sorry for the good guys at Jazz, i...

... If it's so bad, then how is WJ, sunwing, RyanAir, and southwest making it work? You're joking right? Sunwing aside, all of the other operators you name have economies of scale that aren't even on the same planet as CanJet. Southwest has over 490 737's. Ryanair has over 100, with another 125 on ...

Good for them! The company has only themselves to blame for the way they treated GS and his salary continuance. Still drearily working it's way throught the process I'm told...what a joke...justice delayed=justice denied etc etc especially when trying to support a young family and DEPENDING on the c...

Perhaps he's referring to the application the company made to the LRB to be exempt from provisions of the Labour Code that require certain conditions to be met in the situation of mass terminations? You know, the application that was made the same day the terminations were issued?! I'm sorry, could ...

I do think the public forum has been useful in that it has helped to inform the public to some of the issues at C6. Even when you filter out the bs and plain axe-grinding - on both sides - it's not hard to get a pretty good picture of operations at the former C6. The one thing CanJet management seem...

Fool me once, shame one you. Fool me twice, three times, four times, well I must be a CanJet pilot. Credit for at least (f&*king FINALLY) actually facing some employees mano a mano...but never, ever trust someone who explains away mistreatment as "company policy". Let's check back in six months say,...

I think the announcement will be about the new employee profit-share scheme. Oh wait...somehow, CanJet never seems to turn a profit. Or maybe it does. Or doesn't...or does...or....*sigh* never mind...it's a nice phrase to try and tempt new hires but HOPEFULLY NO ONE WILL FALL FOR IT!! I know no one ...

I'm trying to remember when Milton or whomever shut down AC/Jazz on a whim every couple of years...multiple times... :smt017 Seriously, I don't think you want to be TRYING to draw attention to a comparison between CanJet and AC...and your attempt at sarcasm at those heading to AC is wasted...JK et a...

I heard JK got on with AC, which is AWESOME if true! Congrats!

As well as four other CJ pilots to AC...one to Transat....SWEEEET!

May people continue to get good jobs...

Um, yeah. ok. So they're sending out bulk emails the third week of January to help crew a/c in February? What are the actual fleet and crew numbers like now? -no. of a/c currently flying, and no. proposed -no. of crew presently recalled, sorry, rehired :finga: , and the number they're looking for. A...

heheh for sure they are getting down that seniority list in call-backs...for a company that said they would be rehiring about 40 pilots, why are they getting down to more than double that?! Why the cattle-call for FA's?

I wonder.

Last one out turn off the lights. Again.

Actually, union-busting isn't illegal if you do it in the Maritimes. Just sneak into the crew room in the middle of the night in YHZ, teminate 450 employees with 6 different termination notices, and then start up right away making sure not to hire back the guy you feel was most responsible for the u...

I'm gonna go out on a limb here and say that maybe they'll shut it down.

no SERIOUSLY! They've been known to do it before I heard!

BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAH!!!!!

C'mon now everyone say it with me: "Miami One Departure! Miami One departure!"

What is described re: the APLA custodian is correct. Here's another nasty one. One pilot who was recalled was upfront, honest, and declined the recall invite in light of a pending WJ course date. So now they are reneging completely on his salary continuance, and refusing to pay out the remainder at ...

don't pilots do a ton of these procedures before being put onto the real aircraft? So i figure if at V1 they're not committed to taking off, they'll abort it. Just out of curiosity, does the 767 just like the 777 have a instrument reading for the pressure of the tire, because how else would they kn...

Anyone else catch Rowe's interview on ATV tonight? My favourite part was how in the same interview he claims to care about the employees...but then flat-out admits they knew for some time they were planning to shut it down...and it took some time because they care so much...I nearly shed a tear... I...

Wow I guess this puts a whole new meaning to Incompetency, or Stupidity. With all the brilliance apparently available here on avcan from the pilot section, I have only one question. How come all of you are just employees working for wages, with all that management brilliance, why aren't you all run...

IMO, you're jumping the gun...at least in using CanJet as an example. Yeah, dumping 100 experienced, Boeing-rated guys on the market will probably slow it down for some other types of drivers coming from turboprop jobs trying to progress. But what you have to understand is this: CanJet didn't shut d...

If you haven't the stomach to handle a bit of turbulence, maybe you're in the wrong business. Grow up and move on. Airband, Truly you are an ignorant dick, I hope that's clear enough for you. Every single pilot at CanJet has been through this (layoff/shutdown) from 3-6 times, and probably has more ...

Embraers. You heard it here first.

I believe this might be called a "trend"...

It's gonna get worse before it gets better. Help us Obi-Wan-CIRB, you're our only hope.

Yep, that rumour was kicked around a couple months ago. You can put it on the same pile as these other rumours: -A319's, -757's, -J.G. being replaced, -ALPA being certified, -expansion of flying. All of them - just rumours. Meanwhile the rush to the exits continues. Last one out turn off the lights,...

Oh and by the way for those who were wondering... paternalistic - benevolent but sometimes intrusive benevolent - having or showing or arising from a desire to promote the welfare or happiness of others; "his benevolent smile"; "a benevolent nature" Cheers Flaps Sorry, but your very basic, first-Go...

Hey guys, give it a rest already. Who in the hell do you think you are? Have you seen the latest proposed schedule ? I will not be surprised when they cut back the flying and not hire more pilots. You are starting to sound like a bunch of babies: WAAA I can't eat anymore catering... (I am starving ...

lol I don't work there but it sure sounds like you do. As such, your condescension is wasted on me. But I have flown with several guys there, and I do find it bizarre that they're getting passed over. You misunderstood what I said about the ex-Air Atlantic guys - I wasn't referring to the guys being...
