If they want a blockbuster, they better have Zombie Goose in it!

When Big Red has more resumes than they can deal with at a whopping $50,000 a year, there is no pilot shortage. I learned through many sources that the 50K goes to 80K in four years, and then continues to climb well over the 100k and 200K mark, finishing off at 300K. Out of curiosity, since I am at...

I would think they'll be slotted for the 787...

.... If a corporation is willing to screw you over - long term or short term - screw it over first! If it goes under, it goes under - we all know it won't happen in WJ's case. Another one will replace it. Work there. Unionize. Negotiate decent WAWCON. Strike if necessary! Wow!! Brave words gambling...

There is nothing stopping a corporation to start or acquire another company to serve a different segment of the market, especially if it benefits consumers. All the corporation has to do is to show no material job loss results in other segments (within reason). This does not include opportunities f...

Encore is your best move. Hands down! You're set to [eventually] go to mainline WJ. It will be a relatively quick upgrade - for someone like you, you'll just have to wait for the minimum time requirements. While there, you can apply to Big Red and you'll have a pretty good chance at that as well. Ke...

The Europeans know how to get it done!

It seems like the Lufty guys go on strike every other year.
Now who wouldn't want to see some WestJet executive get torn apart as they're climbing over a fence?
Not very Canadian... but still.

Yeah... You WestJet guys better reconsider.

Evertz is making that much eh?

I feel like the ratio of company-profit / pilot-compensation is very telling of the work environment one can expect while being employed there... Anywhere really.

Think about it this way, a 172 only requires one engine yet 2 engines is safer. Why? well at a point the risk reward doesn't add up, at the end of the day safety costs money and the line usually gets drawn around the 9 passengers in the back. Then it becomes more essential to have the added layer o...

"Action Needed: Tell Congress No Single-Pilot Aircraft What allows some business jets flying at the same speeds and altitudes to fly single pilot but not a jet carrying cargo? If telling "Congress no single-pilot aircraft" does that mean all single pilot planes (including 172s) should require two c...

Whats likely to happen to those guys once this strike kicks in?

Are the WestJet guys essentially striking in order to increase WAWCON at Swoop? Or is the endgame dismantling Operation Pink? I'm guessing the latter.

I certainly can't picture ALPA taking in their freshly blacklisted pilots.

Hope that the guys/gals south of the border get on this. Don't think they'd care too much about hearing Canadians out...

Good stuff. Get it done!

Why choose a Chinese recruiter for your job search in Canada? I'll wish you luck as well because I think you'll need it.

Welcome to the internet, bud.

Whats parading around with signs supposed to do anyways? I feel like it just creates photo opportunities for the media to exploit in their pro-industry / anti-pilot articles...

Don't get me wrong, I fully support you guys at WestJet.
