Re: What is Enerjet up to?

Job posting for Captains and FOs on their 737.

Re: Record revenues vs 4 year flat pay

What is at play here goes beyond AC, beyond aviation.

We're marching into neo-feudalism at full speed!

Its pretty much a done deal when you have well indoctrinated peasants telling other peasants to Get over it, go back to you plow somewhere. :rolleyes:

Re: When do you think the 737 MAX will return to operation at Air Canada?

When are passengers going to want to get back on that plane? That's the real question. As someone else said, by the time the plane returns to service people will have moved on to the next Facebook crisis. Also if the airlines make Max seats $25 cheaper than other types they’ll fill the plane Swoop ...

Re: WOW Air collapses

I read recently that tourism on the island was tanking. I wonder how much that had to do with it.

Source?
Company's last 2 quarterly statements said slowing global demand for shipments. Less shipping very likely means fewer aircraft needed.
Ahh so you're inferring. Fair enough.

Re: Atlas Air 767

Would 4G negative be possible to achieve, even instantaneously? A loaded 767 is a lot of mass to make change its velocity that quickly by diving, isn't it? There is a pretty long arm between the 767 cockpit - where I presume the reading was recorded - and its lateral axis. The longer the arm, the h...

They hit a negative 4 G dive initialy on the FOs push. All you hear is stuff hitting the ceiling and at one point a loud thud. Would 4G negative be possible to achieve, even instantaneously?

Re: Cathay Looking For Canadians

If the choice is between Jazz and Cathay, as it stands right now and assuming your relatively young and single, Cathay wins hands down. That being said, the geopolitical situation in Asia doesn't have the best outlook. One can easily end up having to "retreat" to Canada after 5 years as an SO at Ca...

It is important to note that 50 or so Swoop pilots are screaming to get back to mainline to fill positions that are presently being filled by new hires. No one knows what the outcome will be.
