sky regional airlines first officers E175 job add.

[Lt Colombo]

'' Please write 'Embraer First Officer' in the subject line ''

Correct me if i'm wrong but don't these guys have E 175 only !! nothing personal guys just attention to details

[goleafsgo]

Just taking a guess but probably so they can seperate the pilot applications from people applying for other positions; flight attendant, etc

[mbav8r]

Another guess, perhaps they want to know which pilot applications are willing to accept FO vs those only interested in DEC positions.

[altiplano]

I really don't see a problem...

Do you have a point?

There are currently no DEC positions at Sky Regional so if there are people applying with that goal in mind, I believe they’ll be disappointed.

What’s the point of this thread? As others have stated, putting the job you’re applying for in the subject line helps HR sort incoming applications.

That was my point, saves HR the trouble of contacting a pilot who is only interested in DEC, I imagine SR gets unsolicited applications from time to time.
The original poster couldn’t see the obvious so some, myself and yourself included offered their two cents.
I find it humorous that you asked the point of the thread but then offered your own answer to the original question.

[Lt Colombo]

They say you need to write Embraer first officer, my point is why should you write Embraer since you only operate Embraers, if you apply at Sunwing would you write B737 FO position ??

Our industry is about precision and perception, the required standards should be observed at all levels.

You really need to find something else to complain about, Jesus....

[Lurch]

Since you are so concerned about accuracy

Actual quote from Sunwing job ad:

"Sunwing Airlines is forecasting an increased flying program for Winter 2018 / 2019, and is seeking pilots for our Boeing 737-800 and 737 MAX 8 fleet."

This could be the dumbest thread here in a while.

It's not easy to keep all these Air Canada feeders and their fleets sorted in your head. I didn't know they only operate Embraers.

it's actually very easy

Are you joking or....?

SR - EMB175
GGN - CRJ200 and B1900
JAZZ - Q400, Dash-8, CRJ200/900

[Victory]

So did Sky Regional get rid of their Q400's? I thought I flew on one once.

And they're all garbage airplanes that everyone hates flying.

What did that add to the conversation. It must cause you deep personal anguish to operate an fin that has SR in it's civil registration !!!!!!

Just stating a fact.

Ask any Q pilot at Jazz. Every one will tell you they are junk. From the galley to the small bins, the horrible old seats, unlinked FMSs, messed up ACARS, no LPVs, busted ass pilots seats... Like really busted, circuit breakers all out of order from the rest of the fleet making it hard to do resets and more! I'm sure I'm missing lots.

Those things are the most beat up pieces of junk in our entire fleet. They make classics look new.

What has civil reg got to do with it? And since when does civil reg even come into play at an airline operation?

All of us hate them with a passion. Snags on every leg, FAs hate them, passengers hate them, maintenance especially hates them. Sky abused the snot out of those airframes in the time they had them, and didn’t fix anything before handing them over to Jazz. I hope their maintenance on the embraers is better.

Absolutely guys, and why do you think consumer satisfaction never went more than 72% at Jazz (from memory).

Those planes were flying for a US regional for 4 years before hitting Sky. They are 4 years older than any other Q in the Jazz fleet. I don't think the galley, the small bins, the old seats, the unlinked FMSs, the ACARS, the no WAAS or the circuit breakers have anything to do with Sky Regional. That is the spec that the airplanes came with, long before it was cool to hate on sky regional for being a "sketchy" operation.

All I know is they are junk. And should be crushed. Jazz only took them because it meant extra flying but those tails have caused more headaches than they're worth. Send em to the desert.

Where they came from really doesn't matter that much because Sky at years to fix them. Had Jazz obtained those tails, they would be in completely different shape now. And the argument that "Air Canada had to approve any changes" well, they all now have HUDs, new interiors going in, and the seats are all fixed. Seems like they had no issues approving any of those modifications to Jazz. If I was a Q pilot at Sky and had to sit in those seats longer than an hour a day I would have booked off.

I find it really fun when you pass an enroute waypoint and the FMS decides to disconnect and the plane continues straight ahead or throws itself into a bank. Super fun. Really quality. By the way I write it up every time it happens, and it happens a lot.

[Alcoholism]

sounds like a bombardier or universal issue. Not sky. Nor have sky pilots come onto avcanada to whine about those planes in the past, just you jazzers.

[Lightchop]

That's probably because they didn't know what they were missing.

Not a very observant fellow are you, they all had HUD's when you received them from SKV !!!!!

They’ve all got HUDs alright, too bad they don’t work!

Pretty awesome when I get an APPR WARN message on damn near every landing. Or a NO FLARE annunciation on (get this) climb out.

It stays flipped up out of the way now anytime I’m in one of those SR shite boxes.

[PROC_HDG]

It sounds to me like a lot of these are jazz problems. I flew the 5 planes for 3 years and while they had their share of typical bombardier stuff, nothing being mentioned on here was ever an issue.

The planes had HUDs when they got to sky. They actually had excellent dispatch reliability and on time performance for the years they operated out of YTZ.

I'm not some Sky fanboy, quite the opposite, but this is the kind of mindless misdirected whining that gives Jazz pilots a bad name.

If Jazz can't find a way to make those airplanes work short of "sending them to the desert" or "crushing" them, then that's a Jazz problem.
