Re: will AC take non ac express pilots?

If the starting pay was increased, they would get dozens of corporate jet guys with lots of overseas experience. And those that stayed in corporate would have the benefit of higher pay due to the “pilot shortag...

Re: Swoop ?

You can't compare with exchange rates. Much of everything you buy here costs similar dollar for dollar in the states.

Re: Swoop ?

Geez I’m sorry. Maybe I was wrong but I thought the 757 pilots were making less than the Skyservice pilots they undercut?

Re: 2004 Pelee Island Georgian Express Van crash now in court

They always pushed but when we said no, that was the end of it...then they usually found the next pilot in line to do it.
And we still flew in ice after the North Bay crash.
