I could see my suitcase through the glass - no way to retrieve it.

In case of emergency, break glass? it'd probably be cheaper at this point for AC to replace a pane of glass, rather than pay for the suitcase to chase you around!

Best of luck!

At my humble 703/704 we just got pretty decent raises (~30% for me..) in an attempt to stem the flow out of the door, and attract more people to come in.. While that's not a shortage per se, it certainly points to one.

whatever happened to 'wave RAIC, go to head of line'?

Bumpity bump bump...

And...is that payscale still valid? If I'm reading it right: 900h (minimum annual) x $61.61 = $55449/yr. perdiems? base allowance? negotiable start level? Anything to make that salary higher than the Navajo pay I made back in 2002?

I've heard rumours of this happening over the last five or so years. *If* it is true - it stinks.

So how is this CATSA's fault again? To the best of my reading of the article, this is about *arriving* aircraft: "When Trevor Lau's Air Canada flight from Orlando landed at Toronto's Pearson International Airport on Monday, he didn't know he'd be waiting over two hours on the plane." Doesn't CBSA de...

Are you going to be making $100k next January..probably not; OTOH, look at the jobs board man! There are many good jobs on there - pick your poison and get stuck in!

...And here was I laughing at y'all gassers while I trundled off to the oil pump for my (sometimes cheaper) fillup a couple of years back!

How many resumes did Jazz get for the current posting? Until those dry up, the pilot group has no leverage for pay increases..

...So no upgrades for ~9 years; All of Swoop and Encore ahead of you in seniority; coming merger negotiations with Sunwing; probably a YYZ base to start.. and all for the princely sum of $60K a year?! What's the upside?

..To become 'good'. Back when I was a kid, my dad always used to say that it took 5 years to get good at something; latterly, Gladwell posited 10,000 hours of practice to master one's craft... Does that apply to aviation? 10k hours is a lot of time... One could argue that hours is only one way of as...

I seems that the occupants were from a non traditional sector of our society: https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/british-columbia/plane-crash-fugitives-murders-thailand-bc-crime-links-1.6441818 I expect that there were unusual pressures to continue a "private" (clandestine?) flight...

Most pertinent remarks from the comments section in the article above:
"Trudeau taps temporary foreign workers to keep workers wages low. Fixed it for you. The government and businesses hate the free market when it works against them."

Damn...and here am I with a fresh PFO in my hands, wondering how I stuffed up the interview so badly...

Seeya!

Perhaps it's just me, and maybe I'm getting old, but I really fail to see what the attraction or the audience is for this type of stuff? It seems, pretty much every time I see something stupid being done with machines, either the machines or the people involved are festooned with Red Bull stickers...

Anyone else getting redirects this morning onto a 'Telus' page?

Simple, sign the bond note, and there's language in it that says just that.

On the brighter side, there has just been a substantial bump to pilot salaries across the board, other improvements to per diems/shift premiums, and promises of more to come on other aspects of WaWCON.
