Job posting up for AC, good luck to all that apply! Hopefully this will mean an increase in opportunities for all of us.

Re: Job Posting!
Great to see. This will cause a trickle down increase in hiring throughout the industry in Canada.

That was a horrible two week project that I was on. I'm still at that job, but now I'm doing something I actually enjoy there.WellThatAgedWell wrote: ↑Wed Mar 16, 2022 7:36 pmIs it better than harassing people on the phone to get vaccinated?imjustlurking wrote: ↑Wed Mar 16, 2022 7:24 pmYup, loving those sub-$60,000/year 787 wages trickling their way down throughout the industry.
Best part is, I can do it on my off time from my flying gig, so yes, better than being paid a $58,000 base salary to live with constant jet lag and tiny sinks that sprinkle like a little man.

Always the negative Nellie. Who do you work for? What have you done to bring wages up?

Never received anything. It did say we would receive a confirmation email. Now I'm paranoid my email is wrong but I'm absolutely sure it's right.Kingair200 wrote: ↑Thu Mar 17, 2022 5:19 am for those who applied, did you guys receive an email that acknowledge ur application?

I applied using Chrome for the Express position. No confirmation email just like when I did it in 2019. I was only sent an interview request email back then.unmaskedemperor wrote: ↑Thu Mar 17, 2022 3:17 pmSame here..Kingair200 wrote: ↑Thu Mar 17, 2022 5:19 am for those who applied, did you guys receive an email that acknowledge ur application?

Why not admit that Air Canada is paying it's pilots a nearly unlivable wage for the first three years of their employment.
Re: Job Posting!
My first year flat pay checks were more than my captain pay checks at encore. I know you have to shit on AC to make yourself feel better about working for Westjet. Yes, the first couple years pay is not good, but look past that for a sec. Once it's done you still have your whole career ahead of you and will make significantly more money at AC than you would elsewhere.imjustlurking wrote: ↑Fri Mar 18, 2022 7:25 amAh yes, whataboutism.Rooster69 wrote: ↑Thu Mar 17, 2022 8:31 amimjustlurking wrote: ↑Wed Mar 16, 2022 7:24 pm

Guys, Imjustlurking is a complete waste of skin. They are NOT a pilot and they DO NOT work for an airline. As far as I can tell they work in a call centre (an annoying telemarketer) and in their spare time they come on here “pretending” to be a pilot and loves to either troll and cause thread drift to appease their own boredom, or they give unfounded career advice to young people asking legitimate questions about potential career moves. The majority of this persons posts are completely shameful!
Getting back to the OP, these are exciting times after a very long 2 years of hardship! Good luck to all that applied, hopeful the positive news continues for everyone no matter where you are in your career!
Everyone except Imjustlurking haha

Re: Job Posting!
We have to stop putting Air Canada on a pedestal.
I see no reason to apply based on potential earnings 10-20 years from now.

Not sure why you think I care what you think I do for a living or why it would change the fact that as pilots, we should not accept less just because it gets better later.Transition9er2 wrote: ↑Fri Mar 18, 2022 10:37 ambob99 wrote: ↑Fri Mar 18, 2022 8:44 amMy first year flat pay checks were more than my captain pay checks at encore.

Thread drift.
Heard from an instructor at Jazz the latest numbers out of AC is potentially 500 new hires over the next 12 months between Express and OTS.
Just the rumour in the training department, not sure how solid that number is. Seems high.

Re: Job Posting!
Is YUL a fairly junior base to get? Or in the past have most new hires been sent to YYZ?
Re: Job Posting!
Yeah. Flat pay sucks...
There sure are a lot of things that suck in this world, in this career, in this particular job... could be better, yada yada... but then there you are and you're making 250 large a year plus a pension and paid benefits and realising you aren't that far from the widebody... and there you are...
Once in a lifetime...
And you may find yourself living in a shotgun shack
And you may find yourself in another part of the world
And you may find yourself behind the wheel of a large airliner
And you may find yourself in a beautiful house, with a beautiful wife
And you may ask yourself, "Well... how did I get here?"
And you may ask yourself, "How do I work this?"
And you may ask yourself, "Where is that large airliner?"
And you may tell yourself, "This is not my beautiful house"
And you may tell yourself, "This is not my beautiful wife"
And you may ask yourself, "What is that beautiful house?"
And you may ask yourself, "Where does that highway go to?"
And you may ask yourself, "Am I right? Am I wrong?"
And you may say to yourself, "My God! What have I done?"
Letting the days go by...
Same as it ever was...

The only way to win this game is by not playing 
As an AvCanada discussion grows longer:
-the probability of 'entitlement' being mentioned, approaches 1
-one will be accused of using bad airmanship
