Aha! So you admit that you are not a lawyer. My recommendation remains the same, which is: "You should seek and obtain the advice of a lawyer having experience in this area to review the facts of your situation and applicable law so as to determine if there is a case and if so, whether it is worthy...

No you cannot. To sue you must have a provable cause of action. In this case there is none.

You can't layoff people indefinitely unless the CBA says otherwise as per the CLC. The CLC says you can do a temporary layoff for up to 3 months with the option to extend it another 3 months. after that it must be a permanent layoff and then severance must be paid out as per the CLC. I'm guessing W...

Hey Sonic,

Thanks for the honest response. I wish you all the best getting back to work.

That NoSocks guy certainly isn’t me. I know that...because I’m him. My buddy (who is very active in this forum) looped me in ( I won’t out him because you’ll probably treat him like a Swoop pilot - I mean, a WS pilot is friends with a noted WS pilot hater...it’s the stuff of nightmares right?). Alt...

The service of alcohol provincial laws would only apply while the aircraft is on the ground. It would revert to federal law once in the air. No it wouldn’t. The provincial liquor monopoly is not constitutionally inapplicable to the appellant airlines. http://canlii.ca/t/1fr0x Forgive me for being a...

T182 on amphibs. Now drying out on the shore.

This is one reason I’ve always preferred the trade route as a back up is they tend to be easier to do on the side Excellent post. However, keep in mind that trades are very competitive to get into. The cat's out of the bag. The days of everyone thinking that trades were a dumpy last resort career a...

Rumour has it that 2020 intake at Confed got cancelled. Correct me if I'm wrong.

That applies to 604 or 703 doing training.

As a side note an earlier commentor mentioned someone not being able to supply both the plane and instructor for the float rating. I'm not sure that is accurate. Atikokan Aero has been providing training towards float plane ratings for decades and they offer both the plane and training pilot, witho...

Hey I’m new to the site but looking for advice on a amphibian plane. I would like to be able to fly my wife and kids to our cabin in northern Ontario. I’m a new pilot with 150hrs. What would a good step be? I was thinking a 185 anphib but concerned I would be to re restricted with weight?? Am I cra...

There are no schools with seaplanes in YQT. You can get a freelancer but you'll have to get a plane from someone. Someone can't supply both the plane and the instructor unless they have an FTUOC.

Onex spent billions on it purchase and will work towards making it a leaner meaner carrier. Onex only spend around $300M on the purchase (sorry, don't have the exact number). The rest came from other unknown investors. AC has been bankrupt how many times and comes back stronger. The feds won't let ...

Looks like fun! There is an unstarted BD-5 kit near me for sale, small and fast, but not a project I have time for I bought a BD5 kit when I was 16. I never finished it. I have seen a lot of designs (homebuilt and certified). The BD5 is by far the most complex, difficult to built kit that I've seen...

Impact reminds me of the guy who sends asinine emails to his reps, constantly harassing them thinking that they get a month of flight relief and do nothing. Then they get a call from the CP that they're OPI (off pending investigation) and all of a sudden they're the rep's best friend. If you don't l...

The company sees opportunity in this crisis. Their bargaining positioning was on the lines of: 1. Gutting scope, larger Jets at Encore; 2. ESP removed until their discretion; 3. Compensation reductions; 4. Layoff pay concessions; 5. Recall out of seniority. That's grossly exaggerated. We keep heari...

Well those who were upset about Encore making concessions, must be right happy now that the mainline MEC wasn't able to save a single job. Those top ~500 guys can now continue making 150-200K +ESP while the rest get laid off. Actually, the MEC was capable of saving 1000 pilot jobs. However, the MEC...

Provincial governments can not technically make regulations on the landing and take off of an aircraft. Bodies of water no matter where they are, are also the sole jurisdiction of the federal government. National parks are another story because they are administered by the Federal Government and th...

Try Texas Air Salvage

Come on guys. I have a real hard time believing that the goal of the Encore MEC was to ‘pee in the pool’ and make it as unappealing as possible for mainline guys to want the job. Are they a bunch of evil villains sitting around twisting their moustaches in delight at the result of this agreement? T...

Is it true there are pilots at WestJet in their 70's?

Yes. And a bunch over 65.

There's 8.
