Re: Georgian AD
Maybe they're missing some jet time on their DEC Sky Regional application
Re: Georgian AD
By the end of it ggn should still have 6 RJs that are "theirs". Currently they are leasing a white one from avmax I believe.
Re: Georgian AD
GGN looks good on paper, and social media ads, they sell a good con at career fairs. Give the person a few months to figure out that Air Canada pulled out for a reason . It's called safety .
Re: Georgian AD
True. I think they are keeping the old -100’s. They also still have many 1900’s but will they have work for them?

Re: Georgian AD
It’s silly to expect them to just roll over and die like that. The company will seek work elsewhere and I imagine they will find it somehow. Look at it from a more personal level, it’s not like the GGN pilots who are hypothetically laid off at the end of the AC Express contract will just quit flying forever over it.

Re: Georgian AD
ggn hasn't found work for the 1900s, last I heard they were still parked and up for sale. Pilots no doubt have moved on and/or re-trained on another type
Will ggn find work for the CRJ-100s? Time will tell, but they're tired old planes that nearly everybody else has parked.
I expect a major revamping of the company, the ggn in 5 years will be unrecognisable compared to today.

Re: Georgian AD
Ok so if he is your buddy then I assume you talk to him occasionally. What in god’s Name did gun management tell him in the interview to get him to join. “Our CPA ends in January and we have absolutely no idea wtf happens next”?
Re: Georgian AD
The beginning of the end of the GGN/AC CPA starts in October with the transfer of several routes and aircraft. I suspect the whole thing will be wound up by January 2020.
It is the reversal of the startup of the GGN CRJ CPA operation which saw the transfer of routes and CRJ’s from Jazz to GGN.
Karma.

Re: Georgian AD
I'd rather make 20k for a whole year than 5k for 2 months before getting laid off.
Re: Georgian AD
Unless they have other flying in the works I can’t see why they would be hiring. The 1900s are parked and I believe 6 CRJ-200s will be at Jazz by the end of the month.

Re: Georgian AD
There is definitely something coming. 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.

Re: Georgian AD
GGN is gearing up to operate on behalf of WJ as WJ Link. Same as Pasco out West.

Re: Georgian AD
All of the ‘AC Express’ CRJ200’s at GGN are under the control of AC. AC is the principal Lessee. 9 of them are being assigned to Jazz.
GGN is free to go sign leases under their own signature and financial obligation. They have previously done so with several of the old AC CRJ100’s (most likely power-by-the-hour terms).
As for potential new partners - have they not googled Air Georgian?

Re: Georgian AD
I wouldn't read too much into anything based on that. That is a short-term lease that was picked up when one of the tails was damaged by a fuel truck in CVG.flyingcanuck wrote: ↑Sun Oct 13, 2019 8:05 pmSaw that taxiing around today.. uhohflying4dollars wrote: ↑Sun Oct 13, 2019 11:40 am There is definitely something coming.

Re: Georgian AD
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
Not sure GGN is actually more opportunity for pilots. More like assign 2 pilots the work of 3. So actually less pilot jobs since they overwork their crews so badly.
Re: Georgian AD
Stick around for what?? So they can continue to disrespect and under pay their employees? So they can continue to undermine their employees’s right to organize themselves and negotiate a fair collective agreement?flying4dollars wrote: ↑Sun Oct 13, 2019 11:40 am There is definitely something coming.
