It's likely the Q400s will go to Jazz and they will operate the route,just a guess.

Wow, Proper. I'm glad you know so much about every Express carrier. I'm learning so much about sky (my employer) that I'm little worried they keep messing up on my schedule. I'm not entirely sure where all this extra money is coming from in my bank account either. Accounting must really be messing up on my pay. I was reading a post you put up about how we only get 9 SDO's a month and how these facts are facts. Apparently they mess up my schedule every month. I'm glad to here that Jazz is the only company that provides benefits, bonuses and OT. I'll be sure to tell the pilots that came to sky from Jazz, Air Canada, Porter, Flair, cargo jet, Morningstar, over seas airlines how badly they have it now. It's a shame.

After 5 years time at Sky I will most likely have been captain on the E175 for the previous 3-3.5 years if I chose to stay at sky. More likely than not I'll have an interview with AC after being at sky for 2 years and if I get PFO'd I might chose to go over seas with my jet time and make enough money to retire in 10 years. Then come back to Canada and find a nice, laid back, corporate gig making 100,000+ a year just to fill my time. But, you know, Jazz is amazing and there's no other way but jazz. I'm sure in 5 years you'll be better off. We might see each other at mainline making the same amount of money. But you would be better off because you could have been working at jazz for 5 years as a FO. (See, I can make up numbers too)

If AC is where you want to be, then any express carrier will get you there. Yes, some are better than others and yes, some will get you there a little quicker depending on who you talk to. But in the end we will all end up there if that's where you want to be. If you get PFO'd you can always try again, apply for west jet, sun wing, other North American carriers or go overseas. Aviation is on the move right now. The world is your oister. Air Canada is not the only option for a great career. Don't listen to the "propers" of avcanada as they often will make stuff up and lie about the size of their ego and post things they've heard from others as facts with out actually researching. Even if there is a nice laid out excell sheet right infront of there face.

Hello "itwasme".
You preach lots of rhetoric for a single post user. Please indulge and correct me with factual numbers not emotions.
And keep in mind chasing jobs and tin is usually a necessity. Stability is what most families want.
Wish you calm skies and happiness friend.

That was announced yesterday morning. 5 Q's from SKR will be operated by Jazz by January 2017. The YTZ operation will continue.

Thats great. I had heard that AC was pulling the plug on YTZ, glad to hear they're not.

Does sky have a flowthrough with AC ? Or is it just luck for those who move over

It's just a guaranteed interview, none of the Express carriers has a true flow through to AC.

[whatsitdoingnow]

I see Sky has another posting for direct entry captains on the Q. Are they not loosing the Q-400's?

If they are and you get direct entry Captain position, what's the game plan then?

Anyone have the most up to date pay scale for Q-400 Captain pay?

One would guess the ad is aimed at Porter Cpt/FOs looking at jumping across the ramp for the opportunity to get on the Embraer jets, even if the Qs are leaving by the new yr, they would not have to wait long.

Is movement at SKV so fast they are caught that short of Q400 Cpts ??

How are the flight benefits at SKV for family and spouse? Recip Jumpseat program with other carriers?

Perhaps a short term solution for all of those going to AC or onto the EMB from the Q spots?

Air Canada C4 passes, same as other express carriers (spouse, children, parents etc). Many Recip Jumpseats.

The Q captains are bridging the gap between now and the Q fleet retirement some time in the new year, then will transfer to the EMB. Lots of movement on both fleets, 2 leaving for every mainline class + many others going elsewhere.

Does SKV have a PICUS program in place, or have one in the works?

Saw the new career section on their website. What are my chances of getting in with close to 1600 TT with around 50 multi and ATPL exams complete?

Can any one shed light on what the latest new hires have for experience?

Thanks

With your time, you will have to have a pretty good inside reference. Most FOs in the last few ground schools have had 2000-4000 hours on average. A lot of 703/704 captains and some 705 FOs.

Best of luck,

I'm also interested to see what their outlook is, considering their shuffling due to the Qs going to Jazz and now more EMBs coming for the new year.
