My theory is to get in at the valley of the economy instead of at the peak. Does anybody know of a float operation looking for a sale then leaseback of an aircraft?

I know who you are. Some of us aren't retired. You're likely feeling little inconvenience other than passing on a golf game or two. I and my contemporaries will be paying for this long after you're gone. re you telling us that Rockie is retired. No wonder he is not worried about job losses. And no ...

He should be working very hard to identify and open as many "low risk" businesses and manufacturing facilities that he possibly can, as fast as he can. Don't worry RippleRock, I'm sure that very topic keeps him awake at night since he has no desire to see the world end either. Don't take the fact h...

I never once mentioned the "worst case scenario", I only quoted the " best case ", and we are still at only a fraction of that. This means there was either a gross over-estimation, or they lied. Given that, the need to address or even acknowledge the possibility of (even past) "extreme scenarios" b...

The only scenario that the AC pilots need fear is some situational manipulation that forces their CBA open and exposes them to potential government intervention in the bargaining process that would allow for legislatively imposed binding arbitration in areas of their CBA that are otherwise off limi...

Medical and public health experts change their guidance based on increased knowledge, experience and changing circumstances. Unlike the know-nothing blowhards who pull advice out of their ass which is the only alternative. When I need medical advice I go see my doctor, not the guy down the street w...

When we can safely do that at the advice of the experts I'm sure we will, until then - again at the advice of experts - no. For the 'follow the advice of the experts crowd' who keep changing the scientific advice, someone in the interview shown here said it the way it should be said, basically some...

Another Canadian paraglider was killed a few months ago in Africa. I don't know if the NTSB looks at accidents like the one mentioned earlier. https://www.ctvnews.ca/canada/canadian-paraglider-dies-in-accident-on-mount-kilimanjaro-1.4616030?cache=%3Fot%3DAjaxLayout%3Fot%3DAjaxLayout%3Fot%3DAjaxLayou...

Depends on the company. Why would Cargojet hire a lower time non jet pilot when they can hire a high time boeing pilot who will have no issues with training or line indoc and can be online in a minimal amount of time? Thye might only get them for 6 months but the spike in demand for cargo might onl...

Probably, they are looking at various scenarios.

Hope for the best.

Saw an AC agent that I know at the store. He said that there were ten flights today(including Jazz) with a total of 91 passengers. Not good.

I guess if the company hiring requires a training bond that might mitigate some of the departures...

True.

But if the goal is to make money by bonds...that could be useful. If the goal is that you need pilots soon or flights could be grounded, it might be a different case.

Good points, It is just that the whole training thing can take 6 months in itself, and you know that certain guys are going to leave at the first chance. I guess it is a case by case thing depending on the company hiring. One could easily lose their whole groundschool in a few days.....or right in t...

With all the layoffs, that are happening, I assume that there will be an avalanche of applications to various few other companies that are still hiring(cargo, bizjet, fire fighting, etc). But I wonder if those companies are going to look at the history of the employment and say to themselves, Why wo...

Hi, Is the company still hiring to expand the eastern bases? We are going to take a breather for the next 45 days and see what the environment looks like after. Regrettably, this week we did have to cancel some expected hires as we will be unable to train them (Simulators in the US). We do expect t...

Hi,

Is the company still hiring to expand the eastern bases?

All that effort to join the mainline seniority list. Doesn't that mean that any laid off WJ pilot can now bump back to Encore captain just a few months after the vote.

I can’t speak for this accident but the problem in the Arctic is that unpredictably, the weather at your destination and alternates can change really really quick and you might not always have enough fuel to go back. Would your rather run out of fuel or bust that LNAV/VNAV or LPV DA by 100’ ? What’...

Would your rather run out of fuel or bust that LNAV/VNAV or LPV DA by 100’ ? What’s safer at that point ? To be fair, neither option is legal. Pelmet is right, being legal/following the rule doesn’t necessarily guarantees safety. True, but in pelmet's examples, there were legal and safe options ava...

It would be interesting to find out from which airlines their newhires came from and experience.

Hi, I am not sure I have ever seen how many days in a row one can consistently have off using the various schedules(probably 14/14). It would be helpful in some decision making. We try to make the schedule as flexible as possible and the number of consecutive days off can be as little as 3, with no...
