Ok you must not be a commuter and/or rarely use your passes. Otherwise you would be feeling the pinch of pass travel being used as a revenue generating machine by mothercorp.
Passes at WestJet, Transat and virtually all US carriers are a fraction of what they are in Canada

Well then Home Depot is an anomaly because the vast majority of companies provide the product/service they provide at a discount to those that help make/provide the service(ie the employees). Also the difference in price that AC mainline employees pay vs that which Express employees pay is an issue....

“get a job flying big airplanes and make your family proud.”

And God help you if, through no fault of your own,you don’t get the mainline job and your family end up ashamed of you as a regional pilot

+1 Stay away from Sky Regional. Things are really bad right now. The 10 yr CPA extension is such a joke. If a company was good, 13 captain's wouldn't quit in one week.

Just curious what you mean by the 10 year CPA extension being a “joke”. I would have thought that would be good news?

Airlines responsible for 2016 Gander crash, lawyer says St. John's Lawyer Bob Buckingham says Exploits Valley Air Services, which was working for Air Canada, bears responsibility for the crash at the Gander Airport in 2016. http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/newfoundland-labrador/evas-air-canada-class-ac...

I have flown with several pilots now who have been pFO'd on PML 2.0 and a couple who were similarly rejected on PML1.0. All have been excellent people and excellent pilots some even with degrees. Meanwhile I have watched some absolute douchebags get hired by AC. It makes for a very quiet cockpit and...

I didn't realize that AC did so much Cargo lift in the first place, but Obviously they were doing enough to be a divisive let in your collective agreement. As far a strengthening Article 1, does that refer to scope? Were there any changes to the long term plans for the 25 remaining E190?

And which airline is this?

Ya gotta love aviation. Can you imagine a doctor or lawyer starting out and being advised to stay away from a hospital or firm because it "will ruin you financially"? Of course not, because you either 1: wouldn't go there in the first place because there are so many other places that would treat you...

Exactly

So you are talking about the Colgan crash and how it "forced" the FAA to change the minimum requirements to 1500hrs to be an FO on a >19 seat operator. Here is the rub...that crash was not caused by inexperience, but rather fatigue because the crew(including the Capt) was so bloody underpaid that th...

Ok could you provide some info about it? I.e. Are you living in Australia or commuting from somewhere? Did you quit Jazz to go there or take a LOA ? Did you get DEC or FO? How long is the posting? Did they validate your Canadian license or did you have to do the full Australian license? Pay/benefits...

Other than the pilot, the ones that should lose their jobs over this are the security personnel who allowed a totally hammered pilot to clear their checkpoint. I honestly don't understand what the airline executives have to do with this. Unless they were aware that this guy had an existing drinking ...

Once the monthly schedules are published, you can use FLica to trade, drop or add flying from other bases. If there was enough open time available in another base, you could theoretically drop all your DH400 flying in YYZ and replace it with all DH4 YUL based flying. Of course you would be responsib...

Furthermore, AC has given offers of employment to individuals who expressed reservations(during the interview, no less!)about actually wanting to make the jump to AC(not the right time, family illness etc) meanwhile PFO'ing individuals who really wanted to go. Kind of makes for some awkward crew roo...

Part of the PML language was that the only personal information that was supposed to be divulged by Jazz to AC was one's training file. Attendance/disciplinary information was not supposed to be shared. However I sincerely doubt if that was actually adhered to when processing PML candidates. The rea...

The FPML(PML 2.0) will not be attractive to anyone with any amount of seniority at Jazz. It will not have any FIP(Flow incentive pay/pay protection). It will just be a guaranteed interview at AC, in order of seniority and in proportion to the size of each AC express carrier. So just a continuation o...

Just curious if you had bothered putting your name on the PML. If you, like myself, had put your name on the PML and got PFO'ed, then no regrets. But right about now, if you live in YYZ, AC is a much better place to be then Jazz

I have often wondered what would possess someone to become an Internet Troll. Is it the kid that was beaten up frequently in grade school? 45 years old and never kissed a girl? Incredibly socially awkward? Still playing video games in his parents basement? Future mass/serial killer? Pedophile? Hones...

Only thing is, I'm not sure that a 5 year SKY pilot will ever exist. Is there such thing as a Sky lifer? The only carrot to work there is relatively quick left seat on a E175, other than that it's a sh$$ show

Indeed they are. You are so cool. Did a penis come with that attitude?

You need to be a small business owner to get the Business card

I don't think you will see very many military pilots applying to AC now that new hires are forced into a defined contribution pension planMitary pilots used to be able to buy back years of service with their government defined benefit pension plan when they joined AC but those days are gone.

Very few pilots at Jazz have degrees. It wasn't a requirement to have one to get hired at Jazz or its predecessors, so it was not a requirement to get hired under the PML with Air Canada. I actually have a university degree and did the PML interview and got rejected(PFO) so obviously Air Canada does...

ACPA never would be onside with it so yes it is far fetched. That flying is so dear to ACPA that they gave up the fight for DB pension for new hires in order to keep that flying
