The Avcanada COVID Employment Poll
I am wondering how the COVID stuff is affecting the AvCanada population. And we haven't had a poll about this. Polls are cool.
As an AvCanada discussion grows longer:
-the probability of 'entitlement' being mentioned, approaches 1
-one will be accused of using bad airmanship
-the probability of 'entitlement' being mentioned, approaches 1

Re: The Avcanada COVID Employment Poll
Code: Select all
I am laid off, or expect to be laid off, do not expect to return and have not found a new job yet. I hope to find a temporary non-pilot job and return to a pilot job ASAP

Close! Felt like I was checking NOTAMS.
I answered with what I copied. I think that's the closest to my situation and represents the spirit of the poll.
I will be laid off. I will get a temporary non-aviation job. I want to return to my pilot job (recall).

Was laid off from instructing job but looks like I’ll be back in early June.
Re: The Avcanada COVID Employment Poll
Laid off, working on side business this summer and hoping to return / expecting a return to previous job in the Fall

Re: The Avcanada COVID Employment Poll
Quit my job in february, was starting a new pilot job, which got cancelled. Hoping to find a pilot job.
Since I’m flying the King Air, does that qualify me to fly the Queen of the skies?

Re: The Avcanada COVID Employment Poll
Should put an two options for the still-employed:
Still working at my job at full pay.
Still working at my job at reduced MMG or pay.

Re: The Avcanada COVID Employment Poll
Here's my unique situation, not really covered in the poll: Currently still receiving full paycheques (albeit small, as I am an instructor) from my company, yet our school is shutdown at the moment.
I am essentially not working, other than on a few small projects such as editing and improving ground schools. I really appreciate how they've treated myself and coworkers throughout this.

Chances are you'd have been laid off anyways if you'd stayed, if that is any consolation...

Re: The Avcanada COVID Employment Poll
Maybe whoever did this, should do it again, and we will see if the results have changed

Re: The Avcanada COVID Employment Poll
I'm planning on going back to grad school and leaving flying for good unless I get recalled within the next 6 months.
Re: The Avcanada COVID Employment Poll
I should have taken a screen shot of the old poll for comparison., hope someone did and will post it

Between the PM and Covid we might be all screwed anyway.
(ie. flying is evil: you'll catch covid and create a giant carbon footprint)

Re: The Avcanada COVID Employment Poll
For Ash Ketchum: go to Grad School anyways. You can always go back flying if you really want to. I always wonder what would have been had I gone back after grad school, but alas, I did just fine out of aviation, and 1000% certain that I made more money than I would have in aviation. YMMV, obviously, but aviation always had me one step away from the poorhouse.
