Obviously, just look at the total 787 vs 350 orders or deliveries. The A350 is clearly favored. Moron!

That's right, CX is the only airline in the industry!
Orders and Deliveries (as of 31 August 2017): A350 - 848/107 787 - 1278/589 Statistics can be so inconvenient. Clearly, airline planners around the world prefer the A350. |
This will probably get lost among the children fighting, but is there any further news on when they may open up the posting?
P.S. The C Series is clearly the most superior aircraft around. Look at how the Americans feel about it...�� |

You must really jerk off to Boeing newsletters!
Statistics can be so inconvenient. Clearly, airline planners around the world prefer the A350. Have a read on all the various forums, clearly from a passenger perspective the 350 is the preferred airplane. Then have a look at the price tag and a look at all the LCCs that have 787s. How many LCCs operate 350s. Not to mention one of the biggest 787 operator is ANA, why?, because they got a huge discount, a discount that was too good to pass. That avoided a costly penalty from delivering the airplane way behind schedule. But let's get back to your original claim of the 350 being an inferior airplane to the 787. It's not so much that I really give a sh!t, it's more to do with your arrogance of how you know absolutely nothing about the 350 and yet one would think that you're an engineer/test pilot for both manufactures and speak from experience and knowledge, when the reality is you know sh!t. Does the 787 have runway overrun protection? Does the 787 have an automatic emergency descent system? NO! So it does have certain systems that are ahead of the 787. This reminds me years ago how you were mocking the autothrust system on the Airbus. No feedback ..blah blah blah. Ironically the 777 has had, not ONE, but TWO crashes as a result of the autothrust system. But let's conveniently overlook that fact, it's a Boeing and therefore no matter it has to be better. Pilo-Recruit, this is a forum, no one is forcing you to read any of this, so just F*&k O!! |
Wow, what a fan boy! All I did was throw 4 numbers out and you write a five paragraph essay. That's sad. Since you're such a big fan of numbers, I'll send you a few more.
Of the 848 A350 orders, 8 are for the -800, a model which will never be built. Too small and uneconomic they say. Oh really, the -800 would be about the same size as the 787-9 which has 675 orders and a far cry bigger than the 787-8 which has 426 orders. But you're right Dragon, airline planners prefer the A350. Of the 848 A350 orders, 212 are for the -1000 model, although that number has gotten smaller over the last few months. This aircraft is designed to compete with the 777-300ER which has delivered more than 750 copies and has another 70+ orders to fill. Oh, and the 777X which has 326 orders. But you're right Dragon, airline planner prefer the A350. You give up yet? |

Yes I am sure that's what Anna was thinking also when she quoted her statistics on housing, but the reality is it's only an inconvenience when used to support a false claim.

I suggest you go and talk them out of it because clearly they lack the information and intelligence that you seem to have. Have a nice day! |
Dragon 69,
By your username I can only assume you are working for KA? Why are you getting so worked up about the 787 vs 350? KA won't be seeing either of them, so keep flogging your 20+ year old airbus to China. |

542 open spots on current equipment bid.
AC is currently hiring roughly 30 every 3 weeks right now. Many are from AC's regional feeder airlines with most of the others from military/Air Transat/Westjet backgrounds. New hire pay is less than ideal for the first few years if you remain in an RP/FO seat. Seats on offer at joining are: FO EMJ/320/737/767 RP 787/777 Junior EMJ190 Captain is about 1 year. Junior 320 or 737 Captain is about 3 year. New hires have a new pension scheme which seems promising. Overall decent benefits, disability, life insurance, stock matching, profit share trigger linked to executive payouts, etc. You will earn a good pay cheque at AC, after your first couple years, esp. if you go Captain early... but we certainly lag US pay levels, and I suspect many other large network carriers... and we pay Canadian taxes... Not sure what "- 5 J class FOC per year for Capts" posted above means... but I don't think we have that... Pilots/families get 3 high priority J passes per year, but they are not POS space... still ultimately standby, but top of the list more or less. Scheduling is PBS but it has its problems... unproductive pairings primarily on narrowbody fleets leave most at work for 15 days a month... Junior pilots on widebodies are working 18-20 days. I've read the application window isn't open - maybe everyone we're hiring has an application in from before. Or maybe you need to create your profile and then apply... I don't know, but good luck. If you looking to come home, things haven't ever been moving this fast... |
AC had contracts to hire x% from their feeders over the last couple of years. They have mostly gone through their requirements and have began hiring from the street again. I'm told a new posting should come up again near the end of the year. I'm told they have a good solid pool of people they're trying to flush out right now. Most of those are coming from WestJet, WestJet Encore and a couple of other off the street smaller airlines and charter within Canada.
Upgrades can be had in about 18 months if you take the first available slot. They start getting the first of 100 new 737's next spring. Rumour has it that the captains will go super junior and possibly right to new hires. Again, you may have to take what ever base they are at. The 5 J class seats refers to upgrades when you travel standby. They will no longer upgrade anyone when traveling unless you use one of your 5 tickets per year. I think (but don't quote me) that they would rather go with those seats empty than 'upgrade' an employee or recriprocal/ZED pilot. Thats what I know as of now. |
If I was younger I would apply . It may not be the best paid gig around but you get to live in a country with a good lifestyle depending on your base of course

Thats what I know as of now. 737max - 61 firm orders have just started arriving this month CS300 - 45 firm orders start arriving in about 18 months Junior 737/320 CA is around 3 years. Junior EMJ CA is around 1 year. Toronto is the junior base for upgrades. Junior CA in YVR about 7 years. It's not 5 J class upgrades when you travel stby - it's 3/year and it's not POS or a guaranteed upgrade. It is a high priority pass - B1/J09 - standard stby travel is C2/Y10 - and the upgrade is after all coupons and points upgrades. You won't get upgraded on standard pass travel unless J is the last open seat on the plane... Agents took advantage of it in the past and so we all get F-d... There it is... |
Presume need to be Canadian citizen/ landed PR?

Must have right to work in Canada.

Must have the right to work in Canada Then, there's a good chance, that after you are processed as an asylum seeker, ask for the "no work" limitation on the visa to be lifted. After all, the tree hugging liberal Canadian govt seems to enjoy taking in hoards of 3rd world passport seekers to dilute the historical Anglo Saxon gene pool majority. It's worked well in UK, Sweden, France and the good ol' US of A to mention just a few. Hasn't it? |
