I truly understand the pains associated with our starting salaries. They are atrocious. I started at $34k and $38k respectively in my first 2 years. They were very difficult with kids and a house to pay for. Just because I made such paltry wages doesn’t make it right for new hires to also make such ...

Haven’t posted in a VERY long time. I’m doing so because of my belief that we need to vote YES. Are we worth more? Yes. Is it worth gambling my pension, my accrued seniority, my career stability. No. In the end, as a 13 yr Jazz pilot, I’m paid fairly, I’ve been afforded a great quality of life and I...

Thank you.

Hello. I've recently made a couple of changes to my vehicles. One new vehicle and a change of plates on the other. Can someone lead me in the right direction as to where I might be able to update my info? I've checked the GTAA website and our company website (Jazz), but haven't been able to find a l...

I sincerely hope that my inquiry did not come across as a question of the pilots performance. My cause for concern was solely directed at management. In the event that this rumor is even remotely true, it is, in my opinion, the managements wholehearted responsibility to manage the crewing requiremen...

First of all I'm not trying to stir the pot as I work at Jazz. I heard a disconcerning rumor the other day that Thomas Cook isn't very pleased with our performance. In particular, we have had to frequently cap the passenger loads due to a shortage/book offs of flight attendants. Just curious if any ...

Well written explanation of how our status pay system works moreccsplease. Kudos.

Character.

First off, as 4th year Jazz F/O, I would like to begin by stating I did in fact vote YES. The fact remains that our MEC has done a tremendous job in most areas of the contract irrespective of the government intervention. The pension alone should be applauded and it has given me a huge sense of relie...

Very disappointing news. As a former employee of whom enjoyed his time at Wasaya I wish those that have been affected the very best.

As a witness to the tragic event that unfolded last Sunday I couldn't be more proud that Air Canada has stood up and offered their services to this family during what must be a very trying time. Good for you AC.

Your appreciative post is a reflection of your classy demeanor of which you always exercised when on the phone. Wishing you well in your future endeavors and once again, thanks for making the sometimes "less enjoyable" phone calls not so bad.

To all of those that have been layed off at NAC I am truly sorry. That is a real bummer. I wish everyone the best with respect to finding a new job and I know it's a cliche however, you will land on your feet. There are some wonderful people at NAC and my thoughts are with some of the class guys in ...

Hey Onceacop thanks for sharing. Those are some terrific pictures.

Hello, I currently work for the other guys however, I can't help but notice at how well oiled the WJ team is. All of the staff seem to be friendly, hard working people that take pride in their company. I have been admiring WJ for awhile and have a couple of questions. Unfortunately, I don't know any...

That was a great story Hedley...thanks for sharing.

El Comat I completely agree with your assessment. The "conflicts please advise" add on is a completely unnecessary radio call. Suffice to say if someone hears the call they will reply if a conflict exists. For those that fly on the west side of North Western Ontario on a consistent basis there are a...

Some great information here about Air Tranat. Just out of curiousity, is it an absolute necessity to be bilingual?

Hello everyone! I recently received an invite for an interview at AC. :D As you can well imagine I am very excited. I have been informed that I will be taking the applicable Cog and Psychology tests. I realize that there have been many posts with regards to this topic however, I would greatly apprec...
