A distraction making true unemployment numbers stay hidden by funneling what would have been EI payments through CEWS? That's what I call it. So what would've been the right move? Same thing but without the 75% topped at 575$/week; this is totally unfair for people who used to earn 10x more (they h...

I don’t think any of what you said was a surprise to anyone. At least not anyone who’s done their homework or been in the industry any length of time. Leisure operators are always the hardest hit by circumstances. Whether they be due to external factors like C3 or internal factors like Skyservice or...

That’s why you should get hired OTS instead of ramp. Ask those OTS guys how many years they’ve flown to get the experience they needed for an OTS pilot position. Ask how much ramp they did before getting that experience too. It might be interesting. Then ask yourself if ramp is worth it to skip all ...

Anyways, wish you all good health but seriously ff off. -Captain Kirk Please apply that to yourself. You are soo out of touch with the reality of aviation it's quite sad. Please limit your aviation "knowledge" to your family, because to the aviation community you're just a silver-spooned tool. I ac...

Do people understand the difference between a ‘bailout’ and a loan? Based on my experience understanding the average intelligence of Canadians, and pilots (who often pretend they are very smart when in fact they are not) I would say... No. Are you talking about yourself? https://www.investopedia.co...

I think you give the government too much credit. The Westjet that thrived after 9-11 was comparable to Southwest. Today the only thing in common are four letters in their name. Southwest is 5-10 times as large as WJ depending on how you measure if. Imagine if you will that Southwest decided to make ...

The reason management companies are thriving are because of idiots like you thinking you can run a private operation. No it’s not! Sorry that you think that running a private operation is such a high water mark. I guess it is if you are basically shift manager at McDonalds for a management company,...

Captains at WS made about 70K at the start. Oh and a little thing called stock options. I know that it’s really easy to say that with the benefit of hindsight, but WJ could have very easily been any number of failed Canadian airlines. Sure you sell the stock. But what if it falls before you sell? W...

Continental didn’t take over Eastern Airlines, either.

If Swoop wasn’t a threat, nobody at WJ would care. But they are a threat.

I wonder how many Air Canada pilots who never got off flat pay thought the same thing in 2019. I wonder how many who haven’t flown in a year still think so?

4. Buy a house and pay it off as soon as possible. Don't buy until you know you are staying for at least 5 years. Every time you move you will lose approximately $15,000 in fees and moving expenses. Generally, it is best to reduce other investments until it is paid off. Try to get a high enough dow...

There’s an expression for this. Something about hatching and chickens or something. You never made the money. It was never yours. You did nothing to deserve it. It was potentially available because of a unique set of circumstances some or all of which may have applied to you. Artificial wage inflati...

It’s easier to do in the US because they have 400,000+ citizens and counting that will never need it.

Now that’s embarrassing.

But good thing Spirit or whoever is hiring!

There are some bitter folks on here that didn't make it to the airlines. Let me just say there is no life like it and can't wait to be globetrotting again... Sounds like airline flying through the rose tint of an Instagram filter. There’s no secret what it’s actually like. There is nothing particul...

And why should it? What makes your airline special?

Sorry to hear about the PFO from back in the day

Don’t flatter yourself.

Thanks Trudeau.
