Re: Pivot Air
Bearskin used to do the YKF-YOW run with a Metro and it didn’t last so I don’t think a clapped out CRJ-100 will be a winner.

Well, since you put it that way...I guess I'm not interested either in getting Donnie Darkoed while discussing our current state of affairs.JohnnyHotRocks wrote: ↑Sat Sep 19, 2020 7:05 pmDo you want a lunch time union meeting ruined by debris?schnitzel2k3 wrote: ↑Fri Sep 18, 2020 9:06 pmAlways thinking about yerself I seeJohnnyHotRocks wrote: ↑Wed Sep 16, 2020 1:44 pm Hopefully the parts that fall off don’t hit my house!![]()

Re: Pivot Air
You know what I can't figure out. Here we are in a time when any pilot job should be appreciated with so many on furlough, but instead of posting messages of support to people who are trying to keep people flying this forum is filled with negative post.
People hide behind usernames and put the company down. Does it really matter who they were before or if you think it will last or not. They are out there trying that is what matters.
Why don't we try to be more supportive of our industry. If you don't want to be part of what they are doing fine don't, but find a better use of your time then posting negative comments.

Re: Pivot Air
I'd prefer if the passengers were flown by a company that treats their employees well. Pivot Air's current pilots, didn't they make life quite difficult for many pilots over the years?

Let’s not forget the other employees left behind who got letters from the trustee last week detailing how much (unsecured $) they’re owed.
Re: Pivot Air
I have a novel idea for a new airline!
How does this sound? First we’ll stiff former employees out of their hard earned wages, then we’ll set up shop with one airplane in a marginal market like YKF during a disastrous economic downturn.
It’s brilliant!

Re: Pivot Air
I enjoy how only one profile on the "Our Team" page of FlyPivot.com even mentions Air Georgian in passing (https://flypivot.com/our-team). Air Georgian's name is conspicuously absent from the other profiles, including those of the CEO and VP Operations who previously ran the failed airline.
Good luck to all involved (I think you'll need it).

I have a friend who flew at GGN for almost 3 years on the RJ. I think he had 3 engine-related RTO’s and at least one if not two in-flight shutdowns.Gulfstream5 wrote: ↑Tue Sep 29, 2020 11:56 am I just saw the check-in counters. Speechless .

Re: Pivot Air
No offense, but I totally disagree. If I cultivated a reputation for screwing people over then started selling fax machines should I be celebrated for starting a really stupid business?Bradley Tucker wrote: ↑Sun Sep 20, 2020 5:33 am You know what I can't figure out.

It absolutely matters who they were before.
As for any job being appreciated? I get what you're saying, but be very careful. That's what caused decades of Canada having the lowest pilot pay in the world, 2 year ramp jobs and 3000 Ho F/O's for 25k a year.
I like your positivity and incusivity though. We do need unity, just not regression. I genuinely hope they succeed, but not on anyone else's backs.

If you've cultivated a reputation for screwing people over, you run for public office, you don't sell fax machines.
