Lets be serious you never did work at Jetsgo, only a handful of people have left in the 2 years i've been there. I knew each one of them personally as we were all on the 310 together at Royal. I dont recall any junior pilot that worked there awhile, as you put it ever leaving. However there might have been a few that failed sim, they definitely were around only awhile and would probly badmouth Jetsgo on a pubic forum.

could you be that guy.... most likely

He didn't say he was a pilot.. He was probably an FA..

I've never had any knock on wood. The only closest thing to an emergency at Jetsgo ever was a precautionary shutdown of an engine as these things happen from time to time no matter what your flying.(once again knock on wood). Still I believe you have never flown with Jetsgo as you obviously dont know what your talking about or have any facts to back up your claims. If you were a pilot and I seriously dont think you were, why would you leave after paying your training bond. That in itself shows your a fraud, a lier and full of sh_t.

Why dont you share your vast experience with us and tell us about one of your many emergencies and how you saved the airplane from certain doom..

Yeah we thought so...not

Reviewing the posts it looks like he/she probly is/was an FA. In that case what the hell do they know about maintenence, pilot qualifications, and by the way TC does look at our ops thats how we are able to maintain an OC. and just maybe your experience was bad because we wanted you out, lots of senior FA's been there since the beginning and enjoy the job. Sucks to be you..continue your oral shouted commands into your pillow at night we're better off without ya.

See ya.. and WJ700 I think Westjets better off leaving this one alone.

On September 22, 2003, Westjets closing price of the Common Shares on the TSX was $25.05.

WestJet shares closed down 20 cents at $13.05 on the Toronto stock market Friday September 10/04.

p-thrust you're right on the money.

All people I know at Jetsgo are real happy to be there and do a terrific job day after day after day…

From the ramp-rats to the counter people and the FA gang! I never experienced any problems in-flight or on the ground either. Great maintenance and good training pays off.

The aircrafts performs well too. Forget all the propaganda about fuel shortage, misplaced luggage and all that cr_p. Even a 45 hours PPL knows better. Obviously some people at WJ are nervous..

Forgot to account for the 3-for-2 stocksplit in May 2004.

Is that like running a JetsGo groundschool? "Hey Ron, hire another ten, price of oil just went up!"

That might have worked if Jetsgo didn't have to pay back the training bonds plus interest. I wouldn't be surprised if they were losing money on the whole deal just to somewhat guarantee some sort of stability in their workforce for at least 2 years from hire.

Jetsgo in some cases is paying considerably better interest then any bank. A cash bond is a bad thing for us to put up with, but I doubt Jetsgo is making any money off their pilot group.

Yes, probably the same as WestJet's hiring has little to do with our share price either. Well aware of how JetsGo works as I know a lot of people there.
It's too bad JetsGo needs to guarantee a work force like that.

You are both "low cost carriers" no matter which way you dress her up. What makes your company so much better than the rest? Doesn't it make you all feel good that you destroyed the career and salaries that once existed? Just a job now, is all.

You know, I typed out a response.... then I thought: Why I'm taking the time to converse with an obviously misinformed inept moron...

Why don't you go ahead and tell me how much I make at WestJet and we'll see if my opinion of you is wrong?

Jetsgo training bonds pay better intrest than the bank?

Think I would rather have my money in the bank, especially if Jetsgo is losing money on the deal!

That should tell you something!

The bond is a contentious issue. Those that decided to abide by it, did just that, choose. I was one of them. I definately had my trepidations at first and the the thought that this industry is at best, unpredictable always concerns me. Now, the management. My hat goes off to them. They sincerely care about thier employees and extend themselves to provide the best possible solutions to accomodate. They are not out to fire, or fail anyone, infact it is quite the opposite.
It's been some time since I was able to say that I enjoy going to work. The bond was clearly explained with no surprises, I choose to take the risk.
I am not management but an employee that has been looked after. Just keep in mind if one is to sling mud, it hurts people, jobs, and in turn attacks ones own creditability. Fly safe. RT
