The clip said 500 dollarsgoldeneagle wrote: ↑Fri Nov 16, 2018 12:10 pmCorrect answer is 500.
Nowhere in that clip did it define if that was dollars, or some other currency. Who knows, maybe it was cents...

As an AvCanada discussion grows longer:

Re: Jazz - Dash 8 bond
Maybe, it depends on how you calculate it. Total compensation vs Take home pay vs Earning Potential etc. Regardless, my point was to each their own. All good places to work depending on what you are looking for.FL007 wrote: ↑Fri Nov 16, 2018 6:48 amI'm pretty sure pay wise it's Porter, then Encore, then Jazz.tps8903 wrote: ↑Fri Nov 16, 2018 6:28 amI'd say all three are pretty comparable. Picking one category like pay might put one above another, however each have different benefits and disadvantages. Jazz pays well, and has a PML to Mainline. Encore has a top notch commuting policy and gaurenteed flow. Porter probably pays the best for a Q, and allows you to live where you work (YHZ,YOW,YQT). Each to their own. Any of these 3 regionals are a safe bet as long as they fit what you want in life. As far as I can tell they all treat their people well.
Re: Jazz - Dash 8 bond
This statement is the exact reason that we have bonds to start with. If pilots would simply honour their commitment to an employer that just spent thousands of dollars training them, we wouldn’t be having this discussion!
Re: Jazz - Dash 8 bond
If it helps anyone, in my case, money was not the deciding factor. I could have gone to any regional but Jazz had the best package of them all. Even if money was an issue, it's not like we're talking about 10-15K difference at the end of the year so the other conditions would still override pay.... in my case.

Re: Jazz - Dash 8 bond
Yes I'm not arguing that they're all a great place to work and to each their own you're right, but 37k vs 43k is all you should look at, because that's what you'd be paid first year if you take vacation for a month.tps8903 wrote: ↑Sat Nov 17, 2018 5:29 amMaybe, it depends on how you calculate it.

Perdiems and earning potential is fine and all but you could fail an upgrade course and perdiems are not paid unless you're flying so both of those can't be 100% depended on, like salary.

The way you were brought up should be an incentive to honor an agreement.

Re: Jazz - Dash 8 bond
No. They don't leave Jazz to go to Encore or Porter, but they will leave for better paying jobs / working conditions at other companies (corporate, Transat, etc). I left Jazz after about a year. It was not what I thought it would be. I did not have to pay a bond. Would I get a job with Jazz again? Unlikely, but it's even more unlikely I will ever want to work there again.Rowdy wrote: ↑Thu Nov 15, 2018 10:01 am Our union would not allow a bond.
The working conditions are far better than most operations here, which tends to keep people. Not to mention the benefit package, pension, ESOP, schedule, vacation, mx, training etc.
Some people do indeed leave after a year or two for overseas gigs. Or after the agreed upon two years they head for mainline if they get through the process. I highly doubt anyone who came here would up and leave for Porter or Encore. Where else are you gonna use that fresh Q400 type rating?
If your goal is AC and you think you have the requirements, experience, etc that Big Red needs, than Jazz is a good fit. It's not a career airline anymore.

Re: Jazz - Dash 8 bond
You go over to Encore because it’s a quicker upgrade to Air Canada.
Re: Jazz - Dash 8 bond
About as good as any of the other carrots out there.
I believe the “jazz is a good place to make a career” is even more out of date for those hired today.

Ha, ha, If that was true, half the kids at Jazz would already have "ruined reputations" from their previous jobs.

Re: Jazz - Dash 8 bond
It might never hurt you but the point is aviation is a small world and you never know what bad penny will stick on and haunt you. As I like to say: be careful of the toes you step on today, for they may be attached to the ass you have to kiss tomorrow.
