Top VO Whore for the whole airline out of 6000 pilots.

Lol...this guy was a big Yes Vote for the TA.

If the deal was so good...why does he need 120 hrs of VO a month??

Sounds pretty nefarious to me.

At least we got our union leaders World Class benefits & pay

You know the policy manual isn't "hidden" right? It's right there on the ALPA app for you to look at... And here's a big surprise, it doesn't say anything about MEC members getting $2K extra pay per month. There is a per diem maximum which is $2K for the MEC Chair that is on the road much of the ti...

They did secure themselves 90 hrs of pay per month. Anyone know if they are "going for more" for themselves next round? Maybe bump up their $2k per month stipend aka bonus. Shame we lost ours. yawn. like 5 members of the union who get paid this. you know, the ones who work their asses off for us. w...

"Too much taxes"...ie blaming AIFs Despite Air Canada having the lowest % of labour costs to operating expenses of any major North American airline. What do you attribute the cross border pay differential to? Bede, Have you gone through this forum and seen what pay difference is? https://www.airlin...

During the covid shutdown AC and others had to take out loans for billions, there was "free" money handed out but not nearly as much as in the US. I think that is part of the huge gap between countries So "Not enough free govt $$$" as an excuse. Problem with that is which corporation in Canada took...

Delta, UAL etc didn't take 16 years to get where they are. They have had massive gains from 2018-2019 onwards, and in two bargaining cycles saw essentially a 100% increase in pay. This is cycle number 2 for us, so when we dont get anywhere close this time around what will the excuses be this time? ...

They can start with explaining what happened to the last 2 years of profit sharing. That's been explained a million times in emails, roadshows, Q&A's, council meetings, podcasts etc. We exchanged variable pay for guaranteed income. How dumb are you guys? We took a costly, permanent concession to ba...

We've beaten this to death before... I'll take guaranteed salary over profit share every day. Any time I can convert a capped variable payment - a payment that is dependent on what is the least frequently profitable industry in the world profiting, from a company with a background of baggage, misma...

Sure, laughing stocks for getting 42% raises. Name another Canadian carrier that walked away with such a percentage. See what the FA got handed in arbitration. They really showed the company. Yet I still make less as a AC CA than the 737 FO I met from Delta a few weeks ago. Flight Attendants are re...

I emailed the union and the response was that this year’s results would not have lead to a max payout. In order to achieve that the EBITDA margin would have needed to reach 16.5%. At a 14% margin, we would have received a payout percentage of 1.24% which, based on the assumed payroll numbers and fo...

There are a few structural realities being overlooked here. WestJet pilots have historically enjoyed better QOL for a very simple reason. For most of its existence they could not match Air Canada pay rates. They didn't even have a pension! QOL was essential for recruitment and retention. Socialized...

For the crowd shedding tears for the FA's, you likely were not around for all the years of Service Directors bragging about earning more than the First Officer. Or the painful years of "Me Too" clauses where the corp repeatedly told the Pilots; "whatever we give you, we have to give to all the othe...

At least they got a tiny bit more...they certainly didn't walk away with anything LESS with arbitration like the fraidey cats will tell you

So looks like we would have gotten profit sharing AGAIN this year if we didn't give it away? https://www.tipranks.com/news/company-announcements/air-canada-posts-record-2025-revenues-and-maps-cautious-growth-for-2026 Yup... 2 Years of max payout for the pilot group given away...to get WJ plus 2% pa...

I still can't get over junior Air Transat pilots concerned over the shit Quality of Life at AC. How did the MEC at Air Canada present such a shit contract that it has come to this?! Presented? Have you been under a rock? The contract was ratified over a year ago. Lol...so what was the first step af...

AC pilots’ contract expires next year. Hopefully we see new Reps for the next round, not the same weak yes voters. I would not be surprised if, with the same Reps, they agree to gains that do not even beat leisure or discount carriers, especially out of YUL. They would be scared to fight a wet pool...

No need to apologize, most of us here have friends or family at AC, so we know what it is, and who the ones throwing tempertantrums are. Unfortnately they don't realize the toxicity they spew doesn't help them in any regard. End of the day, we are all family in the aviation world, and I know for a ...

Question is how many guys at AC would trade pay for QOL? Can't underestimate the grip of money... it takes hold of everyone, and then it's never enough. You could predict perpetually trading away every last lifestyle aspect for a few extra bucks. Happens in every group in every industry. It's fasci...

Insult insult blah blah blah insult insult toss more shit. What is your defect dude? Did nobody love you as a child? The fact is there is a monthly MBG that is variable based on DBM for both block holders and reserve pilots. I detailed it earlier which you ignored. I provided the relevant article r...

Air Canada pilots don't have a monthly guarantee.... Oh I guess the flat payers get it. We give the worst new hire pay in the industry a 75 hrs guarantee. Sounds so very Air Canada like... Just another one of those "we will get'em next time"...."just need xyz airline to get because we need to pAtTeR...

Monthly MBG at Air Canada is DBM dependent and between 60 and 72 hours for block holders, between 68 and 82 hours for reserve pilots. First two pay steps FO/RP are guaranteed higher of above or 75 hours. Depending on fleet, pilots are also guaranteed overseas and nav pay. 71 hours on WBs, 10 hours ...

In practice that's not how it works. Like 3rdworldclasspilot said it is not a monthly guarantee. You are correct that's it's a 900hr annual guarantee. However, it gets paid out as a single lump sum "top up" basically whenever the company feels like it. This past year it was several months delayed f...
