The big difference between AC and WJ is the CAPT age demographic. Those calculating career wage comparisons had better factor in the younger WJ Capt average age factor AND the relative growth possibilities. Each time AC adds a WB aircraft it creates 10+ left seat opportunities vs 5-6 on an NB. WJ i...

sounds more like you're selling Yes a whole career but it will take you just that, your whole career to play it out. IMO, and again this is just my opinion, someone with 3,500 could go AC, be captain in 5-10 years pending this retirement jump and skip all the back and forth non sense. If encore too...

Flight attendants pay for their training and they only get paid when aircraft is wheels up. I dont know how it is now, but it seems to me that one of Canada's beloved airlines used to only pay their Owner/FAs from door closed to door open,,,,a case of degree, rather than difference. And the other p...

Went on the Dash as FO with 1300 TT, no MPIC. Came from 1900 and King Air FO within the same company.

Hi As advertised, slowly but surly things will continue to improve. I think this is a great step forward. Wide body talks are done, a final draft of language is now in play (and almost done to roll out). The pilots will have to vote on it yet. Mum on the type ;) What will be tough is all the work m...

http://www.newswire.ca/en/story/1361925/air-canada-rouge-expands-to-hawaii I've heard the legroom is bad enough on those 3-4 hour flights. How long is YYZ-HNL?? Plus, the YVR-HNL and YVR-OGG routes will be converted from Mainline to Rouge as well. It seems that the Rouge empire is expanding with no...

Can anyone confirm, if so, then what frames..??

Thanks

10 700s, I believe fins 001 and up are going. They'll be replaced by 10 new 800s.

Rio is AC mainline not Rouge.

Yup because there's a long list of handouts..........

Can you provide proof of any of them........

WestJet just sold (or traded) some of their 700's to Southwest for some of their 800's. Probably just took it off one of the birds going to WestJet. "Here - take the winglet and you don't even have to send it back!" Westjet sold the 10 700s to Southwest. The 10 800s are coming new from Boeing, they...

If you're gonna ramp, do it at Buffalo and .........learn some work ethic and actual operating knowledge. My experience with the Cariboo rampies in AB is that they are lazy with no real professionalism. To me they seem like they are just waiting for there spot in the right seat of a king air with d...

No, are the chief pilots picking the negotiating team for the pilots? Interesting way to work things...

Yeah because that's what was said........

I'm pretty sure he works there. Why wouldn't he know?

Well I have a friend that works there too, and these pilots are supposed to represent him. He doesnt know yet... Just seems odd to me.

Is your buddy one of the Chief pilots? Like DaveP......

If you're going to work the ramp for NCA, do it in Ft St John. That way when you get into a machine you have a chance at advancing. YYC and YEG are career dead ends unless you have Contrails multi PIC time. I wouldn't call it a "career dead end" but it does move a bit slower than other carriers. If...

UUW is not in the Cariboo fleet. Last I knew it was parked Langley. Some parts from it have shown up on current aircraft though.
