Was 10-15 years ago but saw first hand what happens when the border agent asks for your passport in addition to your nexus card and you don’t have it. The person said they forgot their passport but had a nexus and photo of the passport. They were lectured for quite some time, threatened with immedi...

Oh ok , I guess I’ll throw my resume in the trash. Thanks for the update A medically fit pilot is a pilot, no matter the age. The only difference will be years of service you have left in you until retirement which also restricts how far you can get in the industry. You'll most likely never get to ...

Send this to your new MEC lol

I find the older I get my willingness to shut down the company has diminished, I was willing and voted accordingly in the past, now I just want to coast to my retirement. I respect the sentiment of the ~20% that want to coast. But the rest of us have decades of career left, and also want to leave t...

Go guns, 130.8 I think?

Well, that's a little egg on the recruiters face, at least you let them down softly. Though, you should be honest with them and just say my current salary package is X. I had a few recruiters reach out over the past year from various institutions and in every case the salary or conditions (or reput...

The Airline in Canada found me on LinkedIn and contacted me probably because my profile came up in a search meeting all of their requirements. The reason I paid so much is tax is that the US first took $83000 US from my pay cheque which is $112000 Canadian then the Canadian government says I still ...

Convenience wise, probably better off renting.

I work in the US but live in Canada and can confirm the pay rates listed in the US airline pilot forum are about right. I have recently had an offer for a job as a direct entry captain in Canada. The recruiter was so proud to say the starting pay would be $122k Canadian. I thanked them and said I w...

Yeah I re-read and realized what you meant. All good. I know quoting U.S scales is a waste of time, but I'd be more impressed at those numbers if 1st year 737 Captains at Delta weren't earning the same. And they're like 5 years in on their seniority. I've come to the realization that Canada may not...

I hope for your guys sake it works out like that. That would be fantastic and you would have nothing but my respect for negociating those valuations from the company. Until then I'll live in the peanut gallery... The numbers/wages I quoted are current wages, nothing to negotiate. The 5 year and 10 ...

But guys like this sit there and validate AC managements argument that there 'is no shortage in experience, so why pay better?'. You guys and this industry need a massive win in 2024. That’s the issue. Why pay better? Don’t forget you’re dealing with accountants, who have to answer to a Board of Di...

It'll be interesting to see how things shape up for the crews once the line indoc is done, and the route network expands beyond Canada. The destination map someone posted on here a while back had some nice destinations. Enjoy the skiing and adventures TTFA. Loving this industry competition. Porter c...

It's amazing to me that we are still the leading contract in this country by most metrics... It's nothing short of sad. I think having seen one of your other posts you got in before flat pay was a thing. I just don't understand how people make ends meet without any sort of commuting policy. That be...

Your take is lame. We all know the first few years’ pay sucks, but anyone with half a braincell could see why someone might be able to look beyond that. Let the guy enjoy this. I thought it was hilarious. Someone with 3000 PIC on Airbus applying to Air Canada with it's current package and clear mes...

My basic pay for 2323 will be increased $245,586.

This does not include a bonus, overtime and RRSP contribution.

Don't know what the inflation factor is on that, but it can't be good

Trevor is fantastic. He's got an awful lot going on up there in Richmond Hill though.

They're living on a different planet. I'd say we are, but, shy of what China used to pay for a lot more work, those U.S pilots at any sort of mainstream 121 are earning surgeon levels of pay for 3-500 hours of block flying. Our industry doesn't hold a fart lit from a dollar store BIC lighter to the ...

Happy Christmas.
