Hard to tell. We're likely going to run a course here for Sept, but i'm not sure if there will be YYC positions as of yet.

How long of a term is the new contract that was signed at Flair? I expect no pay increases will be coming until the end of that term. Flair pilots agreed to it and therefor seem to be stuck with it. It is very rare for companies just to throw more money out there. Porter is doing it because they kn...

Do you have any idea on the number of pilots that would be sent over to Australia each year? and do you think junior pilots would get a chance at going over there? Can you bring family with you? Thanks This year junior pilots won't have a chance. We'll be sending approximately 30 odd piltos for two...

Flawed logic. If we only needed 23 aircraft in the slow season then we wouldn't carry 27 aircraft year round, we'd likely keep it at 25 and try and increase utilization a bit. Of course, we're going to be able to avoid the burden of extra costs in the low season, that's the whole point. The whole c...

Not quite but nice try I’ll work with your numbers to keep it simple. Flair has 25 aircraft but need 27 for the busy season, the still have 25 aircraft and artificially bring the fleet up to 27 Slow season Flair has 25 aircraft but only need 23 so they send 2 over, same amount of crew required year...

This is a fairly simple concept. 2 a/c and crew go to OZ for months during their busy season and the same occurs in reverse. It actually allows both airlines to carry slightly more aircraft (and therefore crew) then they would otherwise as the business would not permit them to carry that level of s...

My question is why does Flair advertise 1000TT hiring mins for FO’s when they actually hire at way higher than that We've hired candidates as low as 1000 TT, but they all scored exceptionally high on compass testing and interviewed well. We generally prefer candidates 2500TT+ and time on Q400 or eq...

We're currently fully staffed in YVR, so most likely not before spring 2024 depending on where the next aircraft go

We aren't hiring DECs currently but we will likely run a fall course for FOs. We'll post details and the date once we have made the decision on the date and numbers. Thanks for the update, would you mind giving us a heads-up when the DEC's hiring window opens again? Likely be early 2024 once we've ...

Any particular base?

YEG and YYZ/YKF mostly

Flair created a renevue generating customer in Flair and is monopolizing the profit top to bottom. Pretty simple, normal, and legal. No this whole venture is shady AF There are a lot of inaccuracies and speculation in that story from Flair's perspective. We didn't buy any aircraft from 777, most ar...

Any groundschool dates yet ? Our resignation rate is less than half of last year, so we dont' anticipate any ground schools until late Q4 2023 and Q1 2024 First, thank you for answering questions on here and making yourself available. It sounds like the expansion goals have become stagnant. Are the...

Are they (both) going to be based in YYC?

One in YYC and one in YYZ

Still adequatley crewed for the arrivals…

The first of two new aircraft arrived in YYC yesterday. We have already hired for these aircraft so won't require any further recruitment to crew these.

8) heard a rumor Lynx pay is gonna be flair plus 5%. I got called from lynx but I’m on the fence about taking it. Tbh I wanna go to YYC. But lately YYC housing situation is getting worse. It’d be like yyz in the near future I am afraid. Also at Lynx we have YOS when upgrading, can make a big differ...

A lot of movement is still going to happen at WestJet in the next year or two as things sort themselves out. My prediction; most of the DECs at Swoop will leave rather than stay for a forced downgrade and loss of their base even though their pay would go up slightly if they stayed. Next, Sunwing Un...

There's always a chance but highly unlikely before 2025

One June 12th, the crew are in SEA today completing the C1 flight. Next one in July sometime.
