Re: Making a great Salary now, should I move?

For me the decision was easy, it was what I wanted, the sacrifices are there and you are aware of them. I often write out how much money I've missed out on by coming to AC but its more of an exercise in reflection rather then the thought that I made an incorrect decision. An important question Ive a...

Re: Best Flight Cases

Agree with the Scott bag reccommend, I destroyed 3 lower quality bags in and out of the EMJ, 4 times a day The Scott is over a year old and still looking sweet. When you know your sked better get it shipped to a US hotel and have them hold it for you.

Re: Air Canada and MPIC

Captain 999, I had around 2200hrs when I had my first interview at AC with little or no PIC, and did not get on.

Re: Pass travel footwear

It doesn't end at the shoes, My fiancee's "capri " style pants weren't ok with a YOW gate agent although she was in high heels... Bottom line, a great colleague said to me once, " if you want to travel in business, you'd better look business" .

Re: J-class availability to Rome

Last time went to Rome it was a 767 all one class service , I was however able to book myself a J class seat when I logged on in that morning to get my boarding pass. It was odd in that usually you can only book a seat in Y. I kept my trap shut and flew to Rome in J! good luck, espresso, gelato, pom...

Re: Red Pass and seat upgrades?

Doesn't hurt to sweet talk gate agent or FA's if not too busy, if they they have to move someone due weight and balance, or to accommodate people traveling together could be your lucky day!
