The B767 and B777 were offered in YYZ and YVR (again, no limit on either base), and the A330 was in YVR. Still lots of room available i...

Re: January 9th, 2012
Medical was mid-October. Had to consult a specialist, which might have cost me the November course, but such is life. Looking ahead now, not behind! Good luck.

Re: Just got the call for an Interview!
Try cognitivefun.net or soakyourhead.com -- the 1-back test is similar to what you'll see on the cogscreen...some of the other memory and perception tests are good training as well. Good luck!

If you're the least bit concerned, do yourself a favour and go to www.pilotcareercentre.com, and do the interview prep course. Worth every penny, in my opinion...

I'm guessing almost all Dash spots, by the time everything settles...lots of people have reinstatement rights, and a whole bunch of others just NEED to fly a jet.

Re: Jazz Overtime
The other thing you need to know is that Jazz has no first-year Captains. When you go into the left seat, you carry your years of service over and slide into that pay scale. Right now, the junior Captain has nine years... thus, take a look at the nine-year Captain pay scale...

Hey ., how's it going? Hope the (not so) new job is treating you well... As for the filed altitude, there must have been a reason. Maybe it was winds, maybe it was reported turbulence...who knows.

Re: quick Q's for Jazz pilots
No, he would have been going from RJ Captain to Dash Captain. Captaincy is purely a matter of seniority... there is no requirement to have experience on the airplane. As for why he was in the initial groundschool, if you've been off a certain aircraft for more than a certain period of time, you have...

I have to reiterate, before I post this link, that most of my experiences commuting on Westjet have been great... Having said that, I am still baffled by the occasional lack of common sense.
