Calgary YYC Base opening April 2023

Post by tbaylx »

Today we announced the opening of a YYC base beginning in April 2023.

The internal base bid will go out later this fall for YYC. We'll begin recruiting for 2023 later this year with ground schools continuing through fall and into 2nd Q 2023 for our continued growth.

That’s great news. I can only imagine how many WestJet and Encore logbooks are being updated this evening.
Do you think it will be a fairly senior base, or is it likely new hires could expect it fairly soon after being hired?

Senior for captains, junior for FO's.

Another smart move by Flair. You guys will have a bunch of experienced encore pilots and even some mainline WJ pilots jumping ship for better WAWCON.

Is there a single mainline pilot that has made the transition to Flair (one that was on active duty before the move). I highly doubt it. Swoop and Encore don’t count.

Maybe a somewhat junior FO that wants to upgrade quicker to captain.

Yes, actually. And expect to start seeing a lot more.
