Jetsgo Pilots in Bahrain for GF interviews
To the Jetsgo pilots now in Bahrain for interviews: Please leave your prostitute-like manners (30K) in Canada. We dont want to be infected with your disease in the Gulf. Pilots enjoy some respect from the employers and we have been getting some kind of increase in income lately. We r having decent lives here, work a little bit hard but we get rewarded. The way you all bent and lower your panties in front of Michel Leblanc is disgusting and a shame for the world pilot community. It was a great demonstration of lack of respect for yourselves, the pilot career and your fellow pilots around the world.
It is time to act like men and demand some respect and reward for the job you do.

Shame you say? I say shame on you for the tone of your post! You may not agree with what SOME of the Jetsgo pilot did to find work, but DO NOT tarnish them all with the same brush. Keep your inflammatory rhetoric off of this site. You are welcome to your opinions as always but remember the old saying:
It is better to keep one's mouth shut and have people think you are an idiot, than to open it up and prove it....
I have never seen such drivel

Agreed, what a load of drivel. Be careful AAIGUY, as you have friends and neighbours who've done the same. While I agree that no pilot should have to pay to get a job, Jetsgo pilots were hardly the first to do so. In fact, it seems to me that this concept was first hatched on the other side of the Atlantic, at companies like Easyjet, Ryanair and many others. Are pilots from those companies being told they're not welcome at Gulf Air as well?

Such a sad thing......! no body wants them GF takes them! most
of them have earned their reputation in the canadian aviation
industry so well.............no airline would give them a JOB, and
that's why they ended up flying for JETSGO and paying for their
rating! EVERY PILOT WORKED FOR JETSGO PAID ..PAID FOR
THEIR RATING.....!

Pilot and pay.What about strong unions?Why not get back to a situation where employers hire out of a union pool and toss this dis-organized pimping crap in the garbage like the rest of the loser organizations in the 20th century.
I would have a national union and as soon as you get you lisence you join,somthing like that
Paying for a rating.Well if you wanna work well best go see mom and dad eh?The rst of you poor folks can go flip burgers.

The poor guys at Jetsgo were spun a line about getting the cash back on a pre-determined repayment schedule , and being surrounded by on-message managers, they would have had no idea that the end would come so suddenly. Probably had a sniff that something was up mind you.
Given the general state of getting hired in these parts, and with a promise of building hours, and getting the $ back with interest (agreed repayment schedules) what would you do ? Go toss burgers in McDs, or in Gulf land, kebobs, or do what you love ?
By the way, what's the story on the Gulf Air 151 incident @ BKK ?

Geesh there are some bitter people around these parts!!
Paying or being bonded for your rating is fairly common in the rest of the world and generally it's a damn site better paid than this side of the atlantic. Just feel for the poor guys out of pocket and work, good luck in the gulf all who try, I say.

PayRaisePlease you stupid ****. You should know that people are trying their best to get their jobs without paying for it but sometimes they are left no choice, sometimes the only way to get it is to pay for it. I'm happy for all those guys who made it and wish you all guys to make it to Gulf air.

To a jackass also known as PayRaisePlease: for your information Jetsgo pilots are not only being hired by as you call it "goof air" but also by China Airlines, EVA, Cathay, Air Canada, Skyservice, WestJet, Zoom, contract work in Europe. If you like I can keep going but don't wanna overload your pea brain. Now crawl back into your hole and keep quiet for a while.

BC Flyer and Inuksuk
Have a look at the Middle East Forum for the answer to your questions, BKK GF 151 is currently under investigation and as GF is keeping the crews as up to date as possible, no comment on it should come out until the facts are in...
As far as pay goes I would think that a search would help, but look at this, GF pilots have had a 16% increase inside two years, and more is on the way...although allowances haven't kept up with the rapid increases in school fees and rent that is seemingly part of the Middle East's (not only in the Gulf) rush for the spoils.

I do not fly for jetsGo, never knew anybody at jetsgo and I have never even been on one of their aircraft. But I have worked in Canada for a many number of years and know a great deal of aircrew who have flown around the world.
But this Payraiseplease guy
Get a F
ing Grip and flush out your headgear.
Sorry, but our pilot's here in the north were not born with a golden spoon up their butt's (yours seems to be a golden pickle). And for the most part, work the sweat and tears route, pay a hefty sum for flight training from a C172 up to turbine time.
SO, before you slag off a Canadian Pilot with better flight training than you will proably ever see in your neck of the sandy woods, why not come up here to the great white north and shoot some ILS approach's too minumums on a snow covered runway, when it's -30 celcius for 5 months of the year.
Or would the sand between your ears get too cold for you to think straight.

Do you think that flying in -30 will help you to find a job in the middle east? I don't think Canadian pilot are better than anyone, probably in winter condition are at the SAME level than pilot from Finland, Sweden, Iceland, Scotland, Alaska, Russia, etc...) So, don't be cocky and rude i guess people here want to exchange opinions right?

cplpilot,
No, I don't think flying in -30 degrees helps you find a job in the middle east, and who said it did?
I'll put a Canadian pilot's training, expertise, and background against any pilot worldwide, including the countries you mentioned. The flying in adverse weather 5 months out of the year adds to that experiance. And a pilot from the middle east, who occasionally does sectors to northern Europe, may.....may encounter icing and snow. Our Canadian Brothers who are called prositute like, and whores merely for doing what they need to do to put food on the table for a job is RUDE and ARROGANT. Obviously there is no place for UNPROFFESIONAL People like Payraiseplease. And obviously you have not recognized who on this thread is being rude.
So before you quip who is rude or not, read what people post instead of just skimming over it, and letting the Knee jerk reaction come over you and post' something that really was not even said or implied.
Your obviously not British are you? If you were, maybe you would recognize what rude is.

When you fly over FL350 you are at less than -30 C in the south or in the north. Weather dont make pilots, training makes good pilots, canadians are good pilots, not because of weather, because of training standards. Doing a Cat III landing in heathrow is not one of god misteries, just press the right botton and the aircraft will do it for you, even an ape can do it. Emirates do it all the time and they dont crash because a hot weather pilot or cold weather pilot operates the plane.
