Curious about how Transat is looking for a new hire these days? Which base and aircraft are junior currently? Both bases for 321, YYZ for 330, will depend on experience and seniorty draw. YUL 330 junior FO Aug '24 hire How many days a month on average? Depends a bit on base, and type. For April bot...

Finish it, then re-evaluate your career choices, you've come this far. Take a day of work to get the test done. If you have to do it a 3rd time, well it should come easier. And as cdnavater said, the start of your career maybe met with disappointment. Resolve and passion will carry you in this career.

It's about 5 mths from classroom day 1 to Line check

Ok, thanks for then reply. So one can expect a fair amount of deadheading to Europe then? Not really, only if to augment back or some weird pairing. Usually junior, and they are finalizing more efficent pairings through Jeppsen, so should be less Are you guaranteed a business class seat on other ca...

Hello, Could someone please provide information on how many guaranteed days off you get per month? 12 How many on average in practice? 12 to 20+ depends on fleet, month, seniority Are there any changes expected after contract negotiations? possible Is there any possibility of changing between the 3...

From buddies there who are still patiently waiting for the upgrade, it'll be more like 6 or 7. Therefore, the FO pay scale must take that into account. Most Junior Captain was hired in 2018, so I'd say 4 years if we don't count Covid for a YYZ spot. That’s not how time works, Covid happened and all...

I can't believe some of you don't know which is longer, nm or sm

If Transat fails, AC will pick up the slack and you could apply there, maybe they hire you but you should probably get rid of that chip on your shoulder before the interview. Don't you know that Transat is the greatest company to ever exist in the belle province of Quebeckistan and everyone who has...

Nice to see the comradery. A few Canadian aviation companies are struggling. Even Jazz, selling off Falco to stem the debt tide, and erasure of AC flying. We are all in this together and should be supporting each other. Canadian aviation is FUBAR. No doubt. I also have no doubt in Air Transat to rig...

Porter

If the government wants to get serious about competition in Canada, they need to change the foreign ownership rules. I realize they’ve increased it to 49%, but nobody will invest unless they have a controlling interest. I couldn’t care less who owns the company as long as the pay cheque keeps comin...

It doesn't make sense at all to send the E2 across the pond. It simply can't compare to the 321N or 737Max, on those segments financally. Nor was it designed to conduct such an operation. It's powerhouse is short segments with high ultilization, with the flexibility to do some longer transcon. The ...

Back on topic. No one is buying Air Transat, not with the current debt. Porter doesn't have the funds, and Air Canada won't due to EU demands, and not WestJet due to competition laws. Currently, management is on a course to right the ship, renegotiate loan terms, and be more efficient. If however, t...

There's more to a contract than starting pay. One would have to weigh and compare the whole contract to others. Is it world class? No. Is it Canadian class? Barely. I will say, it seems the company wins with how divided the pilot group is over this TA. Best of luck to you guys.

Interesting choice of words in that article, leaving it unclear if the hard landing caused the emergency or the emergency caused a hard landing. The video imbedded in the article has a passenger claiming that they were unaware of any issues until seeing fire trucks… Make me doubt that the crew brie...

"Transat A.T. Inc. is preparing to lay off up to 80 workers as the tour operator struggles to turn its finances around, according to a preliminary notice sent to the Quebec government. Over the course of the year, the company has felt the headwinds of stiff competition, engine recalls and the threa...

I think we should discuss why YYZ ATIS always has “small bird activity” 365.24 days of the year.

You forgot the goose (not geese), so just one. Don't know why they can't remove said goose. Must be airport mascot.

Don't quit your job until you have a flying one lined up. Operators hire year round, unless you're targeting float/bush, then they generally will have hired by March or so for the season. Even then, nowadays with so much moevent, they're hiring/replacing throughout the season. You've put in this muc...

CHR use to be a great dividend stock. I suspect now a days the value and revenue is in the Falko division for CHR.

Since you're new to the industry, you don't know why bonds exsisted in the first place. Personally, I'm a man of my word, and have signed and honored bonds in the past at past companies. Do your homework to avoid the bad companies, and staying at the good ones is easy. I don't care for bonds, but I...

Do you understand the difference between an operation running 18ish Q400s and a mainline operating 117 737s and how a 737 could cover most of the Q flying with reduced frequency? Surely an “acountant” would understand seat costs, there is an amount where the 737 becomes more efficient at reduced fr...

Hilarious. I guess we won't be hearing from ShillBiĺl insulting every pilot group that he thinks should have met his arbitrary standards. What's really NOT hilarious is the fact junior narrowbody FOs at Delta make more than widebody Captains in this country Yeah the old timer regulars here are losi...

It appears HR and ALPA reps are doing a good job weeding out likes of Billy. Unfortunately, we’ve become the focal point of his tantrum that he didn’t get hired here.

No YVR base, highly unlikey to reopen.
