Re: Calm Air Pay

A search of negotech shows a contract from 2013 to 2018 as being current, so it looks like it's 2 contracts behind or my puter skills aren't up to it.

Re: 2 yr agreement vs. bond

Anyone know law. If you sign a 2 yr to stay agreement and leave before that, can a company claim training costs. There is nothing written about training bonds and they admit that.

Just a quick question. I was just informed I was added to the porter hiring pool. What does that mean exactly?
Also what are the requirements for FO?
There's a whole Porter forum under Airlines. It should have what you're looking for.

Re: Jack Hooker

Dockhand for Hooker Air was my first job in Jan.1972. An Otter pilot came in from a trip and told Jack they needed toilet paper up north. Jack's reply: "You're taking the first class mail on the next trip. Tell them to wipe their ass with that." Once you got to know him he was actually a great guy i...

Re: WPPA visits ALPA

Alpa dues are taken from your T4 pay. So it includes OT and any other pay, like check pilot extra wages. Not on employee share purchase or expenses.

Looks like they hit the power line. I can't believe how AC is downplaying this accident. The AP manager also calls it a hard landing, and the power going off was a coincidence.

Re: Four cabin crew suspended after walking off plane
