OT is a very good point. I have a lot of commuter friends who spend around 6-800$ a month commuting. What, did you think it was free? AIFs. Ubers to the airport, food, crashpads, not to mention it is probably the single biggest waste of your time. I could never imagine getting into cattle class aft...

Who cares if you're in ground school and quit to go somewhere better It’s nothing personal it’s just business brotha You cost less than 3 turbine blades This is not very good advice in my opinion. A company has planned the ground school and matched sim partners and numbers for the class. Quitting i...

Yo bro live on base

I don’t mean to sound like an butthole here but like 500 hours is good time, what have you not been doing? Driving and visiting operators? Continuing to follow back after you apply??? To all saying that instructing is a bad job blah blah nOt MuLTI cReW so a 705 won’t hire him that’s total nonsense I...

I feel like everyone can agree if you’re in your early to mid 20s, unmarried, mortgage free (cuz ur too broke to have a home anyways lol) that the wisest decision is to go to AC hands down. How many years can you spend as a widebody captain at porter? How come many airlines have come and gone but AC...

Just wondering if anyone in here has left AC prior to retirement? about to Whered you end up? US Why’d you leave? Pay and QOL not what it should be for Canadas flag carrier Any regrets? So far no Hold on here You haven’t left, and “so far, no regret” Okay okay. Then you say you’re about to retire a...

I don’t think I am wrong for thinking a 100k to start is still too little. Way less than what our peers make 50 km south of Toronto.

I think it should start around 120k and go up to 160-170 the following

777 guys should make 500+

I don’t know why I need to say this but
FIRST YEAR PAY MUST INCREASE BY ATLEAST 100%

I went to the roadshow, It felt like I was being sold a timeshare. They seem like they want you to have Emirates injected in your blood, everything in your life should revolve around them… your doctors, your kids school, your living space, your lifestyle, the pay is nice however it seems like you wo...

People hating on the expats wayyyyy too much. No ones skipping any lines going DEC at Flair or Porter. I can see why it’s so appealing, you can have the worlds best flying and destinations, fly the newest and biggest, career progression is much quicker than here, very high salaries with no tax… But...

You guys need to look at the big picture here. You want upgrade times to stay fast? You want gains? You need guys like OP and YOUNGER (I’m talking grade 12,8,6,3) interested in flying again. You need them to go against their parents and not become engineers, doctors, lawyers, AI developers(Nothing w...

I found Delta’s 2026 pay as well. 3rd year Delta 220 FO makes more than a AC 220 CA...nice... Its worse than that, If you look at the conversion and difference in tax, a first year FO at Delta will take more home than a A220 CA at AC. On pure conversion (No tax considered) the second year FO makes ...

That’s a sweet gig on an even sweeter plane. Turboprop>Piston

It’s single engine sure, but that engine is the same as the one on the 1900. It has all the capabilities of a King Air and will fly in the same conditions, any employer will see that.

How could you possibly call this a win in this economy? FO tops out at 100k USD? Wow. You’ll get to see what it’s like to be 22 year old FO starting at Jetblue. Just kidding, they take home way more than you (Freaking tax) Still can’t even start at 100K CAD as an airline pilot. Plus the OT is straig...

$58K is a shitty salary and completely inappropriate for a professional airline pilot, but it's far from poverty. You really don't know poverty or how to balance your spending if you can't make it on that. Car payments? iPhones? Vacations? Stuff? They are all luxuries. Not affording them is not pov...

50 percent up the porter master seniority list, 28 years old YTZ based FO, 1900 flight hours. Still most people I talk to recommend I go to AC for my career, especially older guys. Thats its simply the best place to be even if you'll be more junior. Whats people take on this? Need advice please and...

Nah brah I don’t think you have missed any hiring wave
At 28… that’s like 37 years of service if you want it
I heard Air Canada will hire lots of guys in the coming years, especially if they expand… I think you would be just fine

It was a little tongue n’ cheek about the jumpseat but it’s also a very real situation that I’ve seen happening more and more lately. If you’ve read any my other posts in this thread, I’ve said many time that no Jazz pilot wants to hurt an AC pilot. We want AC to he held accountable for violating t...

The planet where a CDN pilot showed up for his first day at AC with seniority. This countered your point. It’s unlikely for jazz but not impossible. Proves my point even further. Canadian pilots became AC pilots when they merged. AC is not merging with Jazz, it's no different than a pilot coming fr...
