Re: WJ Hiring

AR jockeys are headed out the door when they lose arbitration in August. That makes 200+ eligible for manditory retirement in the next 2 years. Not everyone retires at 65 as well. Always a reactive solution rather than proactive. How can you be so sure that they are going to lose the arbitration? W...

Re: Sunwing B737 Captain fired for ordering fried chicken

I had an experience with a stewardess who would come up to the cockpit repeatedly and without prompting tell the most crude of sexual jokes(the captain loved it).

Sounds more like a humiliation ritual than anything. Only in Canada are pilots degraded and disrespected to such a low level.

Re: Remove AR, reduce upgrade time?

So, if I’m reading that correctly, for every AR that stays, someone under 65 retires? This has always been my opinion on the matter, I plan to retire at 60 which offsets one who wants to keep going, I find this “get out of my way” attitude to be extremely selfish and part of the generation coming u...

Re: Remove AR, reduce upgrade time?

Anyone know how many AR pilots are actually on the roster? 50 currently. 25 non AR guys retired in 2025, another 25 to add to that this year. 200 eligible in the next 3 years. Also, not everyone retires right at 65. I know a bunch of skippers who will leave at 60, so upgrades are definitely coming ...

Descend VIA bottom altitude question

Recently I was flying in to PHX and was given “descend VIA BRUSR 1” and would be expecting rwy 08 on the ATIS. I initially set 6000 in the MCP window as my bottom altitude, since PGSKN is 6000 hard on the plate. If you look at the transition for rwy 08, JAMIL is 4000 and above. But JAMIL is also a r...
