"MOST employees got paid."

You have got to be kidding me!! Nonexistence severence plus absolutely no invite to rejoin the "New" company.

If this is not the time for the College of Professional Pilots, to set a standard, I do not know!

Yeah okay

I get the feeling a massive amount of folks on this site (pprune in general)are covered with cheezes balls and never left moms basement. Personally I have no friends thats my excuse, but this year I do have a job and we`ll see how long that lasts. As long as 200-300 people can go to work thats just great Mr wide body er. I agree. In fact there is a new mortgage out there designed for Canadian heavy pilots. It`s caled the 3 on 3 off. You get it 3 years employed.... I really hope zoom resurects itself but at what point does this become a sustainable industry. AC and WJ are the only show in town as far as majors are concerned Transat and skyservice do well but the rest including the now defunct operators I worked for are like rats in a drain pipe. Canada should be proud of our finest export not BC bud but homegrown pilots. Thats what we have to do. Anyone working in Canada in a larger machine hang on. In a smaller machine and comfortable stop looking up. Until we get some real union support in this industry the Leblancs and like will keep smokin the corn spitter. Peace out brothers had enough, back to the cheese grater for me!!!!

I really hope that for the folks involved this is wrong, but an inside source says that the start-up employees were not paid on the last pay date. Also, their sim time has been cancelled because they haven't paid the bill.

Fares so low

Last week on AC website fares YYZ-LHR $139
YFC-YYZ $445
maybe the profit is in commuter flights challenging Jazz monopoly instead of trying to compete across the atlantic
