I know for a fact that the company has not yet hired for the increase in min hours for vacation blocks coming at the end of this contract (2027). The rumour I heard that the number is around 500 extra pilots need in addition to retirement &growth so 6500 total but the end of 2027, so take what you w...

You can’t snap your fingers and make the pot on the table bigger. Yes you can. Now you’re being extremely naive about the process and the politics. If we pushed into 107, with 90% certainty, our pay scales would be exactly the same as today. So, no you can’t just snap your fingers. You can bang you...

If you are the new first officer of Air Canada, the Emirates is a good choice for you in the next 5 or 10 years. However, if you are a senior captain, consider it carefully.

I keep hearing experienced guys are getting pfo’d. Only jazz guys are being hired until 2025. Doesn’t seem to...

Two questions when is the next bid coming out, any idea on what will be offered for the Jan ground schools? Thanks!

If Transat fails, AC will pick up the slack and you could apply there, maybe they hire you but you should probably get rid of that chip on your shoulder before the interview. Don't you know that Transat is the greatest company to ever exist in the belle province of Quebeckistan and everyone who has...

Base is closed to new hires and internal transfer first officers. There is still some upward movement of skipper upgrades of two per bid, for how long that goes on is anyone guess however.
