Hello, I’ll offer a perspective that’s probably less comforting than what you’ll hear from people already invested in the profession.. but I think it’s important to be honest, especially given your age and the cost of entry. 1. Is flight training a sound long-term investment given AI and AGI? If I ...

I agree best fit is the devil, though it has many times worked in my favour. But generally I agree it should be seniority based like everything else. What's the long call at WJ? WestJet is 12 hours...so basically Air Canada has the worst reserve out there. 12 hours, so they call you at 6pm for a 6 ...

Impressive! Long call reserve too. I wish we had this at AC but happy someone in Canada finally got it (not aware of anyone else that has this here). Well done TS! WestJet has long call since the last CA. Best fit reserve instead of seniority is a concession imo. 100% DH pay is great, same with the...

This is the best account on here since the 748HO days.

Im curious; why do some people think thata 737 can replace a Q? It seems so obvious that im confused why it's suggested so often. Even if you try replace it with a smaller jet like an embraer or A220, nothing would come close to meeting the Q's efficiency for low demand short haul markets. Unless i...

I didn't know the FAA governed hiring at Nav Can. We get it, you're triggered by the term DEI.

One was CP/CN rail. The only reason the union pursue a claim is because they have being ordered to because, quote "when the union lay in the same bed as the employer, the union is no longer a union and should not act as one", as they straight out, blatantly, refuse to file ANY grievance. Do you hav...

WJ aint hiring anyway, go enjoy the epic pay at big red.

Is anyone aware of any other airline in the world that does this? if it is so important, I wonder if British Airways, Emirates, Singapore Airlines, or any American carrier do this? Ours is more nuanced. Below 80 call Mayday if required. Above 80 it's a Mayday call because it's now in the highspeed ...

Wizz in Hungary. No income taxes on families with 4 kids or more. Based PM. Booming economy. Beautiful clean cities. Centrally located. Cheap cost of living compared to the West LOL Wizz is a greasy operator, post covid "yea we will hire you back but back to the bottom of the pay scale". Hungary is...

Jesus Christ, that's embarrassing.

What a cuck thing to say.

This isn't an Encore situation. At Encore they aren't going from the left from the Q to the left seat of the 737/87 - Encore is a loss of seat, loss of seniority, and/or an outright refusal to flow. Quite a bit more of a toxic situation there. A lot of complaints you see here are coming from Dash C...

What’s wrong with wanting to go from left to left? Flow is the reason they started these as separate operations, non of the other bs they’ve spewed matters, this is a problem! If you have seniority, you should be able to hold whatever seat your seniority can hold, that’s what a union would do, with...

Even if this benchmark is relatively "good", why shouldn't we unionize as well. Why are some people treating this like it's one or the other. Personally, I'm not expecting much (I'm on the dash), but I'm hoping for a good benchmark. And if it is a good benchmark, then great, let's get the union goi...

Says it was closed for overnight work in the avherald article.

My first take on reading it. Any pilot that was on the PTA prior to its cancellation holds their DOH. Anyone after, its to the bottom of the list like it has been since it was cancelled.

Raises start at the top and trickle down. That’s how she goes. 250k vs 58k wasn't enough of a difference that it needed to become 350k vs 87k? :roll: You’re looking at it in the wrong light. A 12+yr pilot only benefits from 1 raise. A new hire will benefit from 12 years of raises and beyond. You wi...

Not enough guys. You should have held out and bled them a bit. :roll: :roll: Blah, blah, blah…..hold the line….ask for more while doing less…..cause more to eventually get outsourced….raise prices for your customer……someone doesn’t like it, go somewhere else!!! Get out with your negativity. Your un...

Best article I have read in a while: https://www.theglobeandmail.com/business/commentary/article-westjet-mechanics-strike-delays/ Need to remember that it’s 2 years of technical school, not a University Diploma or an MBA here. Followed by 4 years of apprenticeship. 4 years?!!?! You must be a WestJe...

Delta. I left the country LOL so you ain't doin shit. Riding on the coat tails of the hard fought contracts in the US. Why you even posting on a Canadian forum then? Pathetic. Of course I left...its a basic math exercise. Do you think I'm stupid? As a 3rd year FO I make more than any airline pilot ...

shame on a shameless collapse Are these pilots now going to just let other pilots groups do the Lion's share of the work and jump on those coat tails by submitting applications when this happens? Which airline do you work for? Other than being a troll on an aviation message board, what is the “Lion...

Appreciate the support for people like me with opposite views. I’ll exit this thread if it’s hurting the card carriers feelings that didn’t get their way. As it was said, you should have known this would happen…..the card doesn’t mate you invisible! Later. More like "Justanidiot". Such edgy takes f...
