Re: 777 Funded Flair Using Insurance Customers' Deposits

The question you should be asking, is if going into a recession Porter, AC, and WestJet's business models can survive. AC is crown owned so they'll be fine. The less money people have to travel, the better the ULCC's will do . Think 1997 WestJet (when the population was only 30 Million) Not true at...

Re: Another 25 orders firmed up.

Exciting! Sure are a lot of airframes in the Canadian market now! Where will the pilots come from? I have yet to fly on Porter's E2 but I'm sure tempted to just book a JS flight and check it out. Been hearing great things. Congrats!

Re: Uflymike with Sony xm5

If your fleet is mostly MAX8 and you’re not commuting/deadheading too much then consider spending some extra coin and get the Bose Proflight instead. I had the proflight. It was a good headset but if you're like me and don't like the in ear system and constantly having to adjust it, get the uflymik...

Re: SkyLink pilot union takes pay cut & b scale

Yikes!! This is the first pay degradation I've heard of in recent history!! That is embarrassing!! I sincerely hope people avoid that operation. Nothing against their pilots, two of them have been my colleagues and were a pleasure to fly with. But that operation needs to disappear.

Re: The Air Canada OTS thread

I believe the winter courses have been about 80% jazz. Likely to balance the percentage from previous class ratios. This has been consistent with the winter course makeup rumors. I haven't heard what the makeup will be for 2024. GLTA

Re: Timing the cycle

30% for new hires only brings that up to about 85,000, I’m thinking new hires will get at least 50% and decreasing as you go up to the 25-30% range in the top scale. This from an outsider but realistically where it should be, so I hope I’m right, accountant your thoughts, lol Your math is off. 30% ...

Re: Timing the cycle

So you’re saying you expect at minimum a deal for a 53.65% increase just to erase inflation from 2003-2023, let alone inflation moving forward? You’re out to lunch. I may have been slightly off on my projection but there is no way AC is going to give you that right off the top. Exactly. I'm expecti...

Boys and gals get ready. Good things are coming.

They want AC to be competitive and want to invest in the pilots. Expect $130k year 1 ...

Flair has a 737 sitting in YOW that’s hasn’t moved in almost two weeks.
