Fact. I heard it first hand that ALPA HQ reps commented it's the worst employee/employer relations of any ALPA property.

Re: 2026 PIT FLEET AC

AC manages to find ways to move up deliveries on new orders every time. Either Boeing or Airbus want to get the order and will meet the need somehow. The used market can be an advantageous place to look too. Delta has used it extensively, works for them. Nobody really cares about paint, why not get ...

Re: Leave TS for AC?

I understand Transat has better pay and lifestyle now? Why would you start over? Maybe pension and benefits? You have to weigh it out... I'd be hesitant to give up a number if you already have time in there... If you do come, you just need a big bullshit filter and to learn to ignore most of what yo...

These guys have no vision only risk aversion. And they don't want to compete, we are abandoning market share.

Re: 2026 PIT FLEET AC

I guess I read the first post at mandatory retirement numbers, and that is just over 500. Will we see another 200+ go early in the next 5 years? I think that would be above the norm, but who knows. Let's hope...

Re: 2026 PIT FLEET AC

Well, I don't know what to tell you, but it's off by about 200 #s by my calculations. Perhaps they are using a factor for expected early retirements. Or maybe and probably most likely, whoever built the calculator input the mandatory retirements per year into the calculator at some earlier point and...

Re: 2026 PIT FLEET AC

Here's some numbers to extrapolate for your own purposes. By 2030 720 retirements will have taken place (720 from 2026 numbers) By 2035 1375 retirements will have taken place (655 from 2030 numbers) By 2040 2024 retirements will have taken place (649 from 2035 numbers) I think you're overestimating...

Re: Does anyone know what the MEC is actually trying to get out of the ULP?

You show me the AIP where it said it was only subject to pilot vote and I'll concede. There are always subjects for approval on both sides with an agreement like this.

Re: Does anyone know what the MEC is actually trying to get out of the ULP?

Jazz management overstepped their mandate. That were reigned in by your board of directors. I'll say again, TAs and AIPs are not locked in deals. They are subject to approval on both sides every time. Just like the union membership can vote down a deal. The corporate officers can say no. Ultimately ...

Air Canada is represented on your Board of Directors. Ultimately it's your Board of Directors that directed the action. TAs and AIPs aren't locked in deals until they are confirmed and ratified on both sides or replaced with a different deal. Wasn't confirmed, was ultimately replaced. Sucks, but tha...

Re: Does anyone know what the MEC is actually trying to get out of the ULP?

It confounds me why everyone focuses on the flow violation, that is secondary to the actual reason the ULP was filed, AC interference with our collective bargaining and denying us an agreed upon MOU. That is the biggest issue at hand, we had an agreement and AC denied it, resulting in a lesser agre...

The problem is the whole tone and attitude of posters in this site today. All there is is tossing shit and putting people on defensive.

Its right there. From what I read, AC pilots completely have a monthly guarantee, not even just in the first 2 years. You guys dont even know your own contract?!
