Crew base is Calgary. Having said that we are in the process of employing a "port system" which essentially allows you to start your pairings in either Vancouver or Toronto. Pairings are anywhere from a 1day -5day with the majority being 4days. Guaranteed 14 days off this year going to 15 next year.
Time to upgrade...always tricky but I would guess 5yrs right now. We have almost 700 pilots and should be up to 1000 by 2009. The pay issue is even trickier...it is composed of base pay , profit share , stock plan and options. I have been here almost 7 yrs and have made between 80k and 220k.
Best company I have ever worked for. The best way to sum it up...instead of no we can't do that...it's let's find a way. We have hired pilots from all over the world. Nationality would be a non issue.
