Re: One List

So what does this mean for Swoop OTS hires of the past year, particularly Captains?

Re: Swoop

We had a senior Boeing Captain go to Swoop and he sounds happier than a pig in shit after taking close to a 50% pay cut to work much longer days. To each their own.

I think we're all rather confused, fortunately not as confused as Air Canada managment regarding this change though. *shaking head* Air Canada is a supporter of the Liberal Party...

Who exactly does ladies and gentlemen exclude? If you are a transgender woman would you not want to be called lady? Same for a transgender man. Please someone fill me in since I think I'm getting old and out of touch with society. Pat... It's time for androgyny... it's Pat! "Ladies, Gentleman, and ...

Re: Gas guzzling trudeau plane

So Trudeau takes his kids and his entourage to up Iqaluit on the Nolinor 737-200 to spend a day telling the people of the north how he is the best choice to protect the environment. Let's see... Ottawa return on the -200 burns about 19,000 litres of jet fuel. What a climate hero!!!

"Welcome aboard Ladies, Gentlemen, and Others" "Welcome aboard peoples" "Welcome aboard humans" "Welcome aboard non-descript travelling public". I can't believe my kids have to grow up in this shit storm.

Re: Swoop Pilot Open House & Info Session

Surely Sunwing is great for many pilots that have chosen to work there. No two people like the same thing. I only use stats, as non-emotional as it gets. Is it not true that many Sunwing pilots have left for Swoop? What's their reasoning? F/Os going for minimum left seat time then get the hell out,...

Re: Boeing Max.

The Ethiopian Captain used control wheel force to bring the nose up rather than the nicely placed electric trim switches by his thumb. He forgot about controlling the thrust and then he got tired. In the Lion Air crash the pilot used the electric trim switches many, many times to bring the nose up a...

Re: Canadian/First Air Merger

it's a hard pill to swallow to go from a senior captain to about halfway down the seniority list. With the merge everyone keeps their seats but any roll backs and you might go from 73 captain to right seat on a dash or ATR. 7F has a lot of senior pilots who were working there prior to 5T ever exist...

Re: Canadian/First Air Merger

All mid to junior F/Os leaving for Swoop left seats and a few to Air Canada. A few left for Encore left seats previously. Flight ops integration won’t be for a few years so nothing really changing for us other than uniform and livery when that eventually happens.
