I’ve noticed prices coming down and they will continue to decrease as interest rates stay high. If you are in the market I’d wait it out another year if you can

I’ve seen airlines have forced upgrades in reverse seniority order for those qualified so junior pilots at the company with the experience may be forced into those left seats anyway ironically enough

I bet a lot of those unfilled left seats are in less than desirable bases like New York. If you live in your base in a cheap city as an FO you’re going to be better off financially than moving to New York or sacrificing the QOL to start commuting.

I think some people just need to drive a truck with a trailer behind it to better realize how that main gear is going to cut the corner. I’ve never been to Masset but my guess by looking at google maps with a long aircraft like a Q if you put your nose on the line or slightly inside of it the main g...

Lots of companies use QRC’s without memory items which IMO is a far superior way of doing it OK, I've never seen one of those. So if you have one of these QRH's and have have severe engine damage or fire right after T/O, what do you do? Continue with a normal 2 engine departure? When does the QRH c...

The biggest shift is the near 50/50 TB VS DB pilots. For years we have been held back by the DB pilots who never wanted to rock the boat too hard or hurt the company. Luckily most TB pilots I’ve talked to don’t give a shit and if we need to shut the place down for a week to get the pay raises we nee...

After no response or after a PFO? PFO’d after interview. I know at AC they hand out the 2 PFOs. The one allows you to try again after 6 months, the other is a full FO. I'd say after 6 months try again if you haven't gotten an indication that they don't want you to try again. I know people that have...

The 777 partners football club article is not from March

I actually love that they pulled our B1’s, it’s a small inconvenience that just helps unify our group and will cost them way more in the future.

Pensions are typically more money in = more money out so under the AC plan you will put in more money in your career so your pension will be higher in retirement. Now if a WJ pilot was disciplined enough to put the 8% difference between the 2 contributions away and MAX TFSA / non registered or inves...

Too fussy. Let's see one without all the expensive "wireless" touchscreen junk, and a lightweight short nose. More tie-down rings in the cabin, some better insulation and sound-proofing, a more durable interior and more auxiliary wing fuel capacity. Reintroduce the cabin roof escape hatch. Maybe in...

The duty regulations won’t allow that since it’s illegal to work that much so no airline can do that.

Does this seem like the equivalent of a “flag of convenience” airline?

I’m sure AC isn’t taking Porter lightly in the triangle between Pearson either and pricing appropriately

Also are you sure this person is even an Air Canada pilot and not just a scammer from another country ?

Between spelling errors and financial comprehension I think we found a Swoop captain

I think you are misunderstanding the pay Previously $100/hr *120% WSP= $120/hr all in Under the TA $100/hr * 115.5% = 115.50 /hr 115.50 * 109.1% = 126.47/hr 126.47/hr * 110% WSP = $139.11/hr all in Also when I asked a friend of mine at WJ he said they still have a non registered option other than th...

Hopefully these type of charts can be developed that show EXACTLY where the AC pilots find themselves in comparison to the WJ CBA. The goal will not be to match but to exceed. That comparison is certainly valuable to an extent. But I doubt it will be used as a target. Our 2003 wages adjusted for in...

I’ve honestly never understood how someone didn’t need an instrument rating to fly vmc at night in unpopulated areas. 5000 ovc in an unpopulated area is impossible to tell much and should require an IFR rating and IFR equipped aircraft.
