I think you are misunderstanding my post. It's not a Jet'sGO bash, you will notice I mentioned AC was leaving as well,hell so was Canjet. Some of the cancellations may have been safety oriented, but as I said there was a larger problem that day. It has nothing to do with crews choice to fly or not, it has to do with responsability towards people.
If you really believe that in that situation Jet'sGO was a victim of weather and that's all then your missing something. Were all the other airlines being unsafe?
I think what stands out in the above mentioned site is poor information and poor treatment. Wether the aircaft left or not there was no reason for what went on.
Hopefully they learned from there mistakes and will have contigency plans, staff ect.. for busy days with forecasted weather.

The Rhumors I've heard is that based on 20.05$ tickets Jets Go can't afford Glycol so we should expect a lot of XCLD flights over the winter!

Cool jetsgo

To say we operate without problems would be untrue. Perhaps we are hurting Westjet more than they care to admit;especially in the profit sharing department. Oh and bye the way, a lot of the boys are looking forward to flying out west next week to old favs like YXE and YXS. Lookout we're coming!

so what is the actual number of F100s? 18?

Where are JGO getting their DECs and F/Os for this fleet and what are they paying???


Any chance you could shed some light on it for me?

You're right, all the other players aren't without their problems either.

Thanks

"Look out we're coming"
This move by Jetsgo has to be the most foolish yet. I'd be very nervous if I were you.

I guess we have to define what a C3 pilot was to decide if there are any at JG. In this case it might be more accurate to say "former Royal" pilot rather than ex-C3. From the orginal ex-C3 list there are no pilots employed at JG.

What about the TWO engine shutdowns that occured on the 23rd? One was out of YWG due to a fuel leak and the other was out of YYZ. Two in one day does not look good and this was a contributing factor to the meltdown that occured. You can say all you want the the flights were cancelled due to safety concerns when in reality they were cancelled due to a company that has grown faster than the safety department (I'm asssuming you have one) can keep up with. Until you have a FOQA operation set up you will never know what is happening on the line. You will be as surprised as every other company about what happens out there when that is in place. While I admit that your pilots aren't as inexperienced as people say, it comes down to time on type and not just overrall time. Most other companies you will see every season at least twice as an FO before being given the ultimate resposibility over the aircraft. If the JetsGo captains are deciding not to go during a snowstorm, that I think is inexperience. We have many reference manuals at our disposal which will tell us if we can take off or not and if WJ decided to take off, it was safe to do do....end of story.

Thank you AJET.

Mr JUMPY: spreading alleged mechanical problems at the competitor is perhaps not something professionals should engage in. Whaddyathink? I know it's something that begins at the flying school level and you really find out about at your first job, but perhaps we can leave that crap where it belongs: in the flight deck...



Cheers

Since this thread is supposed to be about Jetsgo recruiting, you might find it interesting that Parc are advertising for MD80 rated captains. ICAO licence is OK and they want 500PIC on type. Presumably MD83 experience qualifies.
That might open up a lot of slots. If your bond is up, or nearly up, why stick around?
The job is in Japan.
Cheers,
Rosbif.
