Congrats B777Boy

Maybe you’ve talked about his already, if so, I missed it.

Congrats on starting with Westjet as a 737 pilot. Is this your first go with the 737? Just a few sizes to go to the 777 (and you’d have to leave Canada).

Have to recognize my fellow Canucks.

Alright so it looks like i’m going to be flying YYC to LAS Mondays and Thursdays once a day, and YYC – PVR Wednesdays. Sounds like fun!

There can be no choice between the 200 or the NG. Think career.

If you are married with kids do the Calgary-Toronto, if not do the charter.

Congrats

Flying a 737-200 sounds a bit as “has been” if you can choose.

The “Calgary” choice sounds good for family life.

Choosing to fly the 700 makes more sense anyway.

Have fun anyway 🙂

Well done! Congratulations!

Does this also mean we can now brown-nose our way onto the jump seat? 😀 😎 😉

Decisions decisions!

I’d go for the 2 hour return flight. I think the 3 return trips each day would probably kill me. However, lots of landings and takeoffs to enjoy.

I’d take the 700 myself, if I knew how… 😀

Take the YYC-YYZ route (though it’s more than two hours isn’t it?)

Second charter

Last, Edmonton.

Just an Update,

I’ve been givin the choice of some interesting routes 😀 and i would like to see your input.

I can fly Calgary – Toronto (about a 2 hour flight) once a day each way on a 737-700 (my fav)

I can fly Calgary – Edmonton (about a 35 minute flight) thrice a day each way excluding mondays and tuesdays on a 737-200 (lots of flying but incredibly repetative)

Or I can sign up for Charter Services flying 737-700’s whenever they need me (This would be awesome except its a bit unpredictable and i’m not sure if my schedual would pull through)

So WestJet truns out to be an awesome airline in terms of meeting the needs of the pilot! I’m looking forward to flying again! I’ll get you some pics as soon as I can!

I’m not sure if any canadian airlines fly down there yet, perhaps a couple charters connecting through the states but not with my airline
