Re: Does anyone know what the MEC is actually trying to get out of the ULP?

Part of me thinks they are intentionally trying to run Jazz into the ground, or they are really that clueless. Minimal hiring as of late… $110/hr for starting CA pay. No one is going to come here for that. It’s really sad to see. Maybe they are trying to get the CPA voided and get out of it. I don’t...

Re: Aged WestJet pilots win right to not retire

Sad to spend their final years of life working but there’s lots of guys I know who re-married and are in their 60’s and have kids in university. Cost of living isn’t getting cheaper. I would suggest they become simulator instructors. Companies don’t really want these guys flying because it makes for...

Re: Upcoming Ground Schools

Hiring has really slowed down lately. Unless there are more classes below you, your base transfer could range from weeks to several months after you finish training. I personally don’t agree with the assigning of bases after you start. Bases should be offered during the interview. Then you can make ...

Re: Emirates after AC

I think he just means if you’re single or on a single income you’re a renter and not likely to own a house. You can live on 120k a year in Toronto but forget about a house and 2 vehicles in the driveway.

Re: Bad one

Looks like the #1 engine had an un contained failure and fire and the middle engine got some of the debris which caused it to fail. After that it’s game over. Just speculating from the videos I saw. RIP to the crew.

Re: Does anyone know what the MEC is actually trying to get out of the ULP?

The best time to visit Hawaii is generally between March and September, when temperatures are warmest and rainfall is lowest.

Re: AC Incident Nashville

I’ve seen hundreds of pilots from Jazz go to AC with the bare minimum 2000 hour requirement and zero PIC experience other than what they got during flight training or renting a Cessna 150 to get their ATPL PIC hours. Not sure if this is the case here but that’s the new normal I suppose.

Re: AC Incident Nashville

What kind of captain upgrade candidate would ask the pilot monitoring if he should continue after losing visual reference?

If they tried that was in LGA or some other place there would be over 100 dead people.

The removal in high speed.
It’s hard to tell but it looks like the gear re-collapsed and the crane dropped it at around the 2:20 mark.

The PAL Q400 that had the gear collapse in YHZ was scrapped. That was a few hundred feet from their hangar. All depends on what the airframe value vs. repair is.

Scrap it?? If KBA can go to the Antarctic and do that nose replacement on a turbo 3 then I'm sure a crew can jack and bolt on some angle iron for a ferry flight . A bit more than that I know but I'm sure it will be ferried out. True dat, but a DC3 is a much rarer an irreplaceable aircraft. Tons of ...

Number of classes is a moot point. Could run 2 classes a month of 6 pilots. All depends on the overall hiring numbers. Hasn’t been much lately.

What are you suggesting, that we should have kept the 60% flow which wasn’t being honoured and if it was honoured left us even more short of pilots? Jazz was a career destination over a decade ago, after the introduction of competition proving that AC didn’t need to pay regional pilots as much as t...
