I saw on one of their social media posts, a picture of their blank CRJ with the caption "Exciting things are happening".
I sure hope they stick around. Just more opportunities for pilots.

Rumor has it that the office is now painted westjet teal. Looks like westjet link and Geogian are teaming up. No surprise
Re: Georgian AD
So now Encore will have to compete come contract renewal time with the biggest drag on Wawcon in the Canadian airline industry. I had hoped the sh$tshow that is Georgian would fade into obscurity. Sad news all around

Re: Georgian AD
Encore is 100% owned, they can call the bluff and even strike if WJ wants to play the CPA game and threaten to pull the contract. Encore is a CPA WJ gave to themselves. Can't imagine they would shoot themselves in the foot.
Besides, Encore is already having enough staffing troubles. Reducing the WAWCON is just going to make that worse.
My prediction is Encore BUYS ggn, merges it together and now they've got some regional jet and CRJ experience. Then they'll dump the 100s and put in an order for the "CRJ900neo"

Re: Georgian AD
That won't happen. Bombardier is ending production on the CRJ 900 in 2020 after the current orders are completed. It is going to be tough to get a used CRJ 900 when production is shut down.goingnowherefast wrote: ↑Wed Oct 16, 2019 2:28 am

There are about 8 incorrect statements in this 4 sentence post.Jettime3 wrote: ↑Mon Oct 14, 2019 1:45 pm
Yup but only Pasco pilots will be upgrading to CRJ. WJ Link only wants the CRJ for potential route structure granted by the FAA in the agreement with Pasco to fly to the US . Jazz took whatever GGN pilots on flow though, the rest will be laid off. Back end will be phased out, their contract is not valid at Link or Pasco.
Re: Georgian AD
GGN’s “help wanted” ad starts out with a very misleading statement ...

Re: Georgian AD
Technically Georgian is the longest Air Canada Connector because Jazz was created in approx 2003 and it's predecessors were fully owned by Air Canada hence technically not a "connector".
Georgian originally was a 19 seat feeder for Canadian Airlines in the 90's.
Like everything else about Georgian it's not as advertised.

"On January 31, 2020, Air Georgian Limited filed a Notice of Intention to Make a Proposal under subsection 50.4(1) of the Bankruptcy and Insolvency Act (the “BIA”). KPMG Inc.

Re: Georgian AD
I can only imagine that someone (2746904 Ontario Inc) is having a good year and is looking for some tax loss carry forwards.
