Re: Georgian RJ's

So Air Canada wants to diversify the regional flying? I remember not so long ago, there were many regionals in canada like Air BC, Air Nova, Air Alliance, Air Ontario and Canadian Regional. They merged into one, and now Air Canada want that all back!

Re: Jumpseat Priority

I would love to see the day, a Jazz Pilot gets the jump before an AC CSA! That would raise the bar to the days when pilots from different airlines would say hi or nod as they pass each other. These days eye contact is a stretch!

Re: When HRSDC has to chose between Canadians and Foreigners

TrailerParkBoy, Keep dreaming, I love it when guys like you make such bold predictions. Sunwing, like many other company's has 2 to 5 star hotels. My guess judging by your name is that you picked the 2 star Cuban option, with the Red-eye flights... And your 100% correct, you get what you pay for. N...

Re: When HRSDC has to chose between Canadians and Foreigners

I'm surprised Sunwing still has customers. Their product is cheap and misleading. My one and only experience got me to my resort at 2am to start my 8 night vacation. When we checked in, they informed us that Sunwing hotel rooms are not close to the beach, 10 min walk. To be closer, we could pay more...

Re: Sunwing's employees still not a priority

Not all airlines fly to lavish cities providing cheap luxury hotels! Have you seen some of the shit holes in Quebec? I recently stayed at a Comfort Inn, probably the most lux hotel I the town, and found a skid mark, (shit stain, or in French, marque de merde) on the top bed cover! I hope you wrote a...

Airline fares are so low, it sometimes makes more sense to buy a confirmed ticket on the competition then to use my own company issued standby pass!

Re: State of the industry

I just want to add that Jazz pilots are not over paid. If you consider the average years of service the pilots have at Jazz (more then 20 years on avg), then they are underpaid pilots! I can bet there are a bunch of AC and WJ pilots with less years of service making twice as much! So not overpaid, j...

Re: Sunwing 221 - Pilot Error

Is this a safety concern? If so, why would Sunwing President, say its not a safety concern? Also, an hour is a long time not to speak with a ATC. Isn't there a backup frequency or contingency plan if this does happen? How often does this happen? If it is common, what was different with this one to h...

Re: When HRSDC has to chose between Canadians and Foreigners

After 9/11, I was laid off from a non-flying job and through EI, they offered training allowance to get back to work. It cost $12000 (I paid 1/4), and 3 months later, I was working as a pilot! In 2010, I was laid off from a flying position, and this time, EI funding program didn't exist. It took me ...

Re: When HRSDC has to chose between Canadians and Foreigners

So if they still have to do training, there must be a cost to that! So why give an opportunity to Foreign Contract Pilots and not a Canadian Licenced (well qualified) Pilot? The cost of training sounds like a lot, but the tax payers will still be paying for the unemployed pilot anyways! What morally...

If looking out for the Canadian pilot isn't good enough to fight for this, what about the uneducated general public, also Canadian citizens, who board an aircraft from another country, flown by pilot from another country, who is not necessarily governed by Transport Canada!

Re: Oh the sky keeps falling......

Let's look at this another way. If Jazz didn't have any RJs, how would that affect the salary for pilots flying the Dash 8?

Now to confuse things, is the pay the same on the classic Dash compares to the almighty Q400?

Re: YVR Crash Pad

If you can't find a crash pad, the Delta at the airport has a rate of $50 per night for Air Canada crews. Shuttle to airport every half hour. Very comfortable!
