Doesn't Air Canada have something like 800 open bids for the coming PSB? People getting A220 Captain in Vancouver after 12 months?

Not another super hero movie. I'm so done with those.

https://images-cdn.9gag.com/photo/aEGMewe_700b.jpg I have not met anyone who started at 15K a year. I do agree that most benefited from retirements and were able to quickly move into the highest paying jobs that exist and have sat there ever since.... occupying the top paying jobs for longer and pr...

It’s sad that it’s no longer the limits of technology that hold us back, but the ability to pay for it. No. It's not the lack of ability to pay for it, it's the lack of will to pay for it. Project Apollo, backed by sufficient funding, was the tangible result of an early national commitment in respo...

Traffic you cant explain

Toronto.

There is just no explaining that traffic.

I have heard that Clive is going to take the money from this sale and team up with Tim to finally launch that new Ultra Low Cost Carrier. I heard Mark is joining in and they will be flying NEO's. AC and WJ's days are numbered.

Hey SPR there are lots of tissues in the jet, looks like you could use some. Sounds like a lot of fun being with you on a 4 day. It's not your fellow pilots that you should be angry with. If pilots deprive me of my current standing on the One List, then that's exactly who I'll be angry with. Who el...

I see a post filled with anger and bitterness and decided it needed to be called out. I sometimes wonder what the Encore people have been told because there are often expectations that are not anywhere in the agreements and a lot of anger because "promises" are not being kept. JBI: Your post is fill...

For pilots who have already flowed, there's a vested interest in approving the LOU, because of it's rejected they'll at the very least lose vacation entitlement; depending on interpretation of Kaplan's award, they might also drop down in seniority behind any OTS pilots who started before they flowe...

You will never be allowed to work in the US. Not because the US doesn't want you to work there. I don't think they really care very much, you are not even on their radar. There is a reason that Pilots are always left off things like NAFTA talks... it's that the Canadian government is being very heav...

https://y.yarn.co/9ff97e10-a143-4024-8547-ff1aeca7ab81.mp4?1551919979299 I hope you can understand my confusion because I was told Swoop was a separate company and the pilots are paid roughly 50% less to fly the exact same aircraft. I mean, if it's all one big happy fleet, shouldn't we all make the ...

Must be a slightly dated chart because it does not show the tail reductions in the 737-800 fleet from tails moving to Swoop.

Oh no... did your fuel lines freeze due to climate change? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jWfX_k0pIN0

and you will feel much, much better.

You are dreaming if you think Big Business likes government. Government gets in the way of free enterprise. Everyone loves layers and layers of red tape. 1 action equals dealing bureaucracy on a municipal, provincial and federal level. How do you think the oil industry feels about government interv...

The people of the 60's, 70's and 80's fight to end segregation and give everyone equal access to the world... so that people of the Teen's can fight to re-segregate the world and make everything separate again. Interesting cycle.

I'm off to my safe space.

Does anyone else feel a growing sense of betrayal over the delay in implementing duty regulation changes? There is a problem. They have admitted it by nearly pulling the trigger on changes twice since 2014. Four years later we still wait. Money above safety. Shameful. When an accident happens due t...

Happy to go somewhere where that experience is valued and utilized. All the best to those that stay and those that joined, it was a pleasure to fly with you. Hope you get the scheduling sorted out there. Of all the OTS hires, hearing of your departure has made me the happiest. Long inhale.... long ...

Telling everyone sensitive business material ahead of time became problematic about 5 years ago, with several leaks from different groups (especially middle management and pilot groups). These leaks had the potential to cause the company to be in breach of trading laws if they had spread too far an...

It was certainly an option a couple of years ago to use -700s when Swoop was first discussed and was seen as the least disruptive path, but it obviously was not workable, as one of the basic ULCC principles is maximum seat capacity for an aircraft with a given range that meets the mission needs, th...

Swoop is being built on WestJet lease returns that have had the leases extended. -700s and a couple of -800s that were due to be returned when the MAX deliveries started have been retained and shuffled with newer -800s to build a Swoop fleet with a consistent configuration. Factually incorrect. Thi...

With todays environment in the pilots favor, it is my hope WS will set the bar to be industry leading...

The company also loves to use that phrase, "Industry Leading." Unfortunately, they just never clarify which direction they are Leading the Industry.
