Yea I heard they're getting Q400s. Those Q400 might come from Augsburg Airways. They ceased operation on 31st of October after their contract concluded with Lufthansa.

How many Qs did Augsburg have? I've heard rumours of them turning up a few different places now.

Augsburg had 8 Qs. All 8 were bought, 2 were sold right away. 6 on the way by end of December, 1 may get parted out or sold. Not sure how many will be actually operated maybe 3 or 4 and others sold or leased out.

Just where the heck are they going to park them all ? Cause the south end of YYC is really starting to look like a real aircraft boneyard.

And is there enough ramp space to operate more Cariboo aircraft ?

Air Partners will be out of their hanger in early December, the ramp and hanger space are Cariboo's. It is going to be tight though.

Those requirements are Shell, $76k for Captain and $39k for FO. Not sure if Q will be higher pay yet.

Can't see them getting too many "Type Rated" guys for those numbers...

Yes but how many of those guys are going to be as happy as the guys at NCA if things don't pan out the way everyone's hoping at WJE?

Hey WG, check your PMs!

I don't actually know of any :mrgreen:

In all seriousness though, I only know about 6 guys that made the move to Encore. Most are F/O's that wanted a quick upgrade to the left seat and two are captains that have dreams of making mainline.

To each their own... It's just my opinion that the resume stack will be a little thin @ 76K.

Same kind of stuff the fleet is doing now. Oil sands and northern BC and Alberta.

Oh ok. Is it more of a replacement of current Dash 8 fleet? Or will the current Dash 8 fleet be kept and fully new crews on the NCA Q400's?

It'd be interesting to see who'd be applying with a Q400 type rating right now.

I have always thought NCA would be a great place to work... Is there any truth to the YVR base rumour? If anyone on the board has any insight, it would be much appreciated.

Thanks!
