Agree'd. I was just saying I think that the vast majority at Encore do not want to undercut the pilots at Mainline if we had a chance to flow to Swoop - if that's how the company plans on filling the seats. As you said, everything still has to be negotiated and nothing is on the table. Good luck guys.

65%? The last thing anyone at Encore wants to do is flow to a ULCC with FO wages bordering the poverty line and Capt wages no better than a TTC bus driver and prolong the 19 day a month misery, when all we hoped was to eventually flow to mainline with decent WAWCON. That's the whole point isn't it? ...

So essentially, this TA allows Rouge to grow at the expense of Mainline NB flying?

When you put it that way it doesn't sound good at all, but obviously there is more to it than that.

Noticed that one too, although there isn't an official job posting on the Air Canada website.

Nothing has been put forward in terms of WAWCON for the ULCC, let alone anything set in stone yet. The last thing the vast majority of us want to do is flow over to the ULCC for less than what the Boeing is paying now. At the end of the day an airplane is an airplane, improving working conditions go...

Is it too early to gauge how many will be hired next year?

I applied twice on the previous posting, and never heard back either. 120 positions is a lot to fill, do you think they'll hire European pilot's exclusively? or a mix of Canadians and Europeans? I'm guessing the pool of NG rated pilots in Canada willing to go to Sunwing on a temporary contract is qu...

Thanks for the info FL320. Does anyone know if they've started interviewing for these positions yet?

That's great news for those patiently waiting in the pool! Hopefully they reopen the app window soon.

What companies have some of the recent new hires come from? Is it a good mix or a large number of CMA/GGN? Just a low-ish time guy trying to figure out his next move!

Mellow is dead on, it's around 78%. The courses you take are all worth a different number of credits (i.e. math is worth 4 credits but most of the aviation courses are only worth 1, minus human factors which is 3) and from that each grade percentage = a certain number of credits in the GPA; 50-60% i...

There was no entrance exam this year at Sault

I'm in first year and we just got our SOP's.. don't be too harsh with the rumbling, I need my laundry money!

When 2009 comes up, is it possible to negotiate away the PG or is it set in stone?

What is the pay group? So RP pay after flat salary is in the low 90's, but there's no way for a newcomer who gets an RP position to get it because he gets put in the pay group after flat salary?

What was Air Nova pay like?

Any idea what colleges they came from?

I understand where your all coming from, you had to work many hard years paying your dues to get where you are today. But lets say if this program happened back when you guys were in college and you were offered a position at jazz, would you have turned it down? It would be an amazing opprotunity fo...

Dunno man, I applied last week and sent my transcripts in a couple of days ago, so i'm expecting to hear back something soon. The lady at the registrars office said the chance for someone out of province getting in is low unless the program isn't over subscribed--which it usually is, so hopefully fo...

How many 319's are they getting rid of? I thought the E-jets were replacing the DC-9.

Predator was definately one of his best. Nothing more badass than Jesse Ventura with that gatling gun.
