Here we go..."Air Canada would never do that", and "a Westjetter would donate a kidney". I've seen AC employees do nice things and go the extra mile many times, they just don't call the Calgary Herald every time they find a wallet.

Re: Working for AC, YYZ STATION 4 CPL PILOT

Working the ramp at AC will look favorable on a resume and that is pretty much it. If you get hired by flt ops you will get your old employee number back because technically you are a re-hire. There is no other benefit for your ramp time. (Worked on ramp 2000-01, 320 F/O 2005)
