Captain Michael Ennis has retired as the No. 1 pilot on Air Canada's seniority list. Mr. Ennis turned 60 last month, and under the labour pact between the airline and the Air Canada Pilots Association, he was forced into mandatory retirement last Sunday. He said in an interview that he originally planned to start flying for Istanbul-based Turkish Airlines this week, but has changed his plans. Mr. Ennis said that after discussing his career with his wife and their two grown children, he decided to stay in Canada for personal reasons. "Family considerations prevent me from accepting a job offer at a foreign airline at this time," he said Friday, adding that he is now "looking for a flying position" in the Toronto region. Mr. Ennis rose to the top of the seniority list in February, 2010.
