☆ Fires Burning at ‘Full Tilt’ Across the Western U.S. Stretch Resources
  + stars: | 2024-07-31 | by ( Rachel Nostrant | ) www.nytimes.com   time to read: +1 min
It took only a week for the Park fire north of Sacramento to grow into the fifth-largest in California history, signaling the potential for a destructive wildfire season across much of the Western United States. Almost 50 other large or notable fires were burning throughout the region on Wednesday, according to a New York Times tracker. Although this year doesn’t yet compare to 2020, the most destructive wildfire season of the last two decades, the sheer number of fires currently burning in Western states — both big and small — has threatened to overwhelm firefighting resources at a rate that worries experts so early in the season. “Normally we’re ramping up in July to get to that peak in August, early September,” said Alex Robertson, director of fire and aviation management for the U.S. Forest Service. But this year, he said, “we’re going into August already at our full tilt.”At least one person was killed this week by a wildfire burning near Denver, and a historic mining town was leveled near Bakersfield, Calif. More than half a million acres of the Western United States have burned in the past week, according to the Times wildfire tracker.

Read previewA Southwest Airlines flight that was diverted after a dangerously low descent was likely down to "pure human error," aviation experts said. A Southwest flight came dangerously close to the Courtney Campbell Causeway in Tampa. A dangerous patternIt's not the first time a Southwest flight has descended to a dangerously low altitude. In June the FAA said it was investigating a Southwest flight that dropped to 525 feet when it was 9 miles from landing in Oklahoma City. The FAA is also looking into another Southwest flight that descended to 400 feet above the ocean off the coast of Kauai, Hawaii, in April.

☆ Canadian pilots eye higher-paid U.S. cockpits amid staffing shortages
  + stars: | 2023-09-05 | by ( Allison Lampert | ) www.reuters.com   time to read: +3 min
Some 147 Canadian pilots applied for licenses to fly commercial jets in the United States in 2022, up from 39 in 2021, according to Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) data. High travel demand in the United States, where pilots are securing historic wage increases, isattracting foreign aviators, despite delays and high costs of immigrating, according to lawyers, unions and pilots. While small, the increase in U.S. applications is worrisome for regional Canadian carriers, which like their U.S. counterparts, are wrestling with staffing shortages as they lose pilots to larger airlines, industry experts say. It could also put pressure on Air Canada (AC.TO) during negotiations with its pilots, whose contract expires on September 29. Air Canada pilots earned more before 2013.

☆ WestJet pay debate sets scene for Air Canada's pilots
  + stars: | 2023-05-18 | by ( Allison Lampert | ) www.reuters.com   time to read: +3 min
MONTREAL, May 18 (Reuters) - A faceoff this week between WestJet Airlines and its pilots over pay could set the stage for aviators' demands in future bargaining with Air Canada (AC.TO). It would be the first major pilots' strike in Canada since 1998, according to a spokesperson for Canada's Labor Minister Seamus O'Regan, who is at the talks. ALPA president Jason Ambrosi recently told Reuters that a key priority is to narrow the pay gap between Air Canada pilots and their U.S. counterparts, echoing the union's demand for a "North American" contract at WestJet. Gradek added there is a group of Air Canada pilots "who have been chomping at the bit" to get a significant bump in wages. Air Canada pilots, who have received a 2% wage increase per year since 2014, have complained Delta’s latest hourly pay rates are up to 45% higher.
