In an attempt to bring the topic back around, us Sky pilots aren't guaranteed to go over to Jazz at this point. It's only "possible transition to Jazz" as worded by the MEC in the latest email. I drove by the YYZ airport this morning, and I actually took a pic, (don't know how to upload here) there...

Agreed, these geriatrics that run these toilet operators need some pushback, but it only takes one bottom feeders to offer to work for free or better yet to PAY to fly revenue to spoil it for the rest. Both of which I have seen personally done in my career from rich spawn I was competing with. This...

An AC pilot gave me great advice when I was starting out. Get a seniority number with a reputable operation and then stay senior in the seat and equipment. I have followed that and haven’t worked a birthday or holiday for 20 years that I haven’t chosen to. It has cost a few bucks over the years on a...

Another case for the armchair -- and actual -- investigators on here... Can you crack this CADOR? I'm currently researching unusual observations in Canadian airspace. Any idea what's happening in this Jan. 10, 2015 incident? Ever see something similar? Multiple aircraft reported a very large object...

So have you finished your flying lessons yet? The last time I replied to you you were crying about giving up and how hard it was and how hard done by you are. Has this situation changed? So are you a pilot looking for work seriously; or a troll looking for the easiest least amount of work path to a...

This is why we get shit on. Ohhh shiny J class seats that'll sweeten the deal! Waiting for the spin and gaslighting. Are Jazz juniors about to be ball-gagged and introduced to the GIMP, over seniority. If you are a Jazz pilot, stop stirring the pot and wait until you see a tentative agreement. You ...

I see zero fencing happening. Based on precedent set with the GGN integration. I understand what fencing is. The difference is when fencing you usually have two companies merging, with two OC's operating at the same time. This is not a corporate merger, Sky is being shuttered as of March 31st, thei...

Wondering where do those pilots who had their Jazz start dates and inital ground schools "Indefinitely Postponed" by the company, when the pandemic hit last March, all fit in to this ? Unfortunately for them, I doubt they are being considered at all at the moment unless they were given a seniority ...

It's a bit different as the Georgian pilots never brought any aircraft over with them. Bringing the DH3 fleet removal into the equation just muddies the water. That's not correct. We received a net 5 CRJ200s from AGN when all said and done. Yes, I forgot about those CRJ200's. Were those 5 originall...

There are mandated recalls at Encore stipulated in their MOA. Currently 50 pilots are being recalled. To be clear, it’s 50 positions to be recalled or added. With 415 receiving layoff emails yesterday, and many bumping down to Encore, it’s unlikely there will be actual recalls. How many active and ...

I'm thinking that it ends up DOH with fencing on the E175's until things recover. The DH3's are gone one way, or another. Seems AC domestic regional network will never be quite the same and many smaller communities will likely lose their AC network services. I see zero fencing happening. Based on p...

Everyone needs to spread the word. https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/ottawa/canada-post-postcard-campaign-1.5926728 Send yours to Office of the Prime Minister 80 Wellington Street Ottawa, ON K1A 0A2 With the #SaveCanadianAviation Doug Here's an idea. When you get that stupid post card that is costing ...

Anyone else get the feeling junior Jazz pilots are about to lose a lot ? I would expect fences and recall rights to be a big part of any ALPA agreement. Lots of ways to protect Jazz pilots for a few years until the industry recovers fully. Let ALPA do their work. The people involved have done this ...

Doubt they will be parked. With the CRJ out of production and no new alternative, it wouldn't be surprising if the 175-E2 replaces the 900 eventually.

Wow! Can’t say I’m surprised! Will be another shit show integration coming to the air canada family. I doubt that. Bringing in the Georgian flying and pilots went relatively smooth. Should be no different this time. Doubt there will be much of an issue with an ALPA integration of seniority lists ei...

30 laid off March and potentially more added into the March list in the coming days.

Keep your heads up everyone. Wish the best outcome for all.

Sorry to hear that. How many are left working after March?

Trudeau "ordered like a dozen shots per Canadian" because he fucked up. He was negligent in securing anything at all, and when it became apparent he had no deals in place he had to fan out and make all the deals... Minister responsible? Career academic...

Highly unlikely there will be an equipment bid.My opinion is that Both AC and CHR are keeping staffing where its at currently within Jazz for when things start to swing around. It'll happen quickly when it does I'd imagine. The costs are significant and I don't think either the company nor the unio...
