Morningstar ATR

Is this a new addition to their fleet? Anyone heard anything about salary/schedule?

The ones on the west coast have been on line for at least 6 months now. They are owned by Empire airlines and have replaced the F-27's. Morningstar just does the line maintenance on them here - like they did with the F-27's, they don't operate them.

Don't know about the east coast ops.

Well they must have bought at least one, they are looking for pilots for their ATR.

I've heard Empire on frequency in BC - but I think they are Montana based?

Don't think they'd be looking for TC licensed pilots there?? Must be a C-registered machine???

Also I have seen Fedex ATR's in YVR for a long while... I always figured these were US machines.

It will be operated by Morningstar but owned by Fed-Ex, to do the Montreal to Quebec run

Ok so, shitty morningstar pay not fed-ex salary.

ps. I'm just assuming the pay at morning star is shitty because it's a Canadian company not in the middle of nowhere. I apologize if it's great.

I'm pretty sure that Morningstar is a great company with good pay, little movement, and good schedules. At least on the west coast that was the case, anyways.

Yea - I don't know many other places where you can make $65000 a year flying a Caravan an hour a day.

nite_owl · Post by **nite_owl** » Fri Aug 17, 2007 3:16 pm

The ATR is to be operated by Morninstar YMX toYQB.
Monday to Friday operation with your weekends and holidays at home. Caravan working conditions apply to the ATR. Ie. 1 week on, 1 week off.
This run will be about 40 min each way. Payscale for the ATR is 60% of their 727 scale. Two pay increases a year. One on the anniversary of the contract and one on the anniversary of your hire date. Per Diem $3.50/hr, from check in to the time you leave the parking lot at the end of the day.
So, starting at 60 plus a year to fly two 40 minute legs roughly 10 days a month, and you don't touch the freight.
Aircraft maintenance gets done here. If it breaks it gets fixed. Rarely is something MEL'd for any more than a couple days.
Few leave this company. Those that do either retire or go overseas.
This is not a job for someone looking to build a fat logbook to go elsewhere..... and you better like night flying.

Cheers,

Nite_Owl.

Sounds decent. Thanks for the info.

'shitty pay' and 'morningstar' don't go in the same sentence together. its an oxymoron. so do a little homework next time around before you insult a whole company.

Rudy · Post by **Rudy** » Sun Aug 19, 2007 6:14 pm

Thought I was.
See apology in first post.

Rudy,

Didn't your daddy tell you not to ASSUME. Because you make .............a F@#king idiot of yourself. ( I changed the old saying for Rudy's benefit)

Very good company, my old alma mater by the way. I can still hear Wally saying "kid you were born to fly this."

Do some research next time.

tofo · Post by **tofo** » Sun Aug 19, 2007 7:59 pm

I woulden't worry about it too much rudy, I make assumptions all the time about company's. The Fuc&ing idiots are the ones who belive those assumptions.

besides it's avcanada, this is just par for the course.

P.S. I've heard that morningstar is a really good company to work for though.

uhhh....right....I think posting here is doing research, you dumb-ass....

...hey rudy, ask all the questions you want....just be aware that when you make assumptions there is guaranteed to be some dumb ass feedback on this forum.

just ask the questions with entirely good intentions...if you do that, any negative feedback is purely idiotic.

Dumb ass? That wasn't very nice.

I'll edit my post for you.

Thread resurrection.

I have the current payscale from Canadian pilot pay. Is the rest of this post still an accurate description of the FO position currently being advertised based at YMX? Also is there a training bond on the ATR?

thanks

The government of Canada, as do all other governments, will not allow a foreign air carrier to transport goods or passengers within Canada. They are allowed to transport goods into and out of Canada but not within our borders. So Morningstar Air Express are the Canadian carrier contracted by FedEx to transport goods within Canada. I do not know what arraingments they have with FedEx as far as who actually owns the airplanes but most if not all are FedEx machines imported into Canada with a C registration and flown and maintained by Canadian crews. Morningstar Express is sort of what Wardair became when the airline was sold years ago.

Anyone know if they are still looking for an ATR FO?
