AC already operates a higher ratio of CPA:Mainline departures/flying than any other legacy airline in North America.

C-series are AC aircraft. Period. There is no battling required...

I don't take that comment re"psych test" as seriously "vilifying" anyone. I think that's is a tit for tat type poke as two forum members get going at one another. "AC pilots are elitist pricks" "Go blow yourself" "99% of AC pilots are a joke. "Couldn't pass the Psych test, hey" "Whatever snowflake, ...

It's important to keep the source in mind. About Payload Connector is the official blog of the Regional Air Cargo Carriers Association (RACCA) which has 56 member companies. RACCA represents and serves the interests our member Part 135 and Part 121 cargo carriers in the United States. Of course they...

Wow, very inappropriate remarks especially from those who profess to represent a corporation! Especially inappropriate are the remarks regarding people's psychological profile and somehow relating it to their worth in life and what they deserve. Perhaps Air Canada's job is not complete with the ini...

Because I had to, you should have to also... nothing should get better in this industry. Great argument.

That's not the argument.

How many days would one be on RES and are you able to bid days off for the days off you have? Sorry may be the wrong thread... You get 12.25 days off per month on reserve. You bid them based on seniority, but it has to fit a pattern, and often that results in seniority not being respected in the bid.

American pilots somehow manage without trans-con turns.

From another article: The incident resembles one Delta faced in 2016, when the airline questioned the credentials of Tamika Cross, an OB/GYN. About two weeks before this flight, Stanford had actually interviewed Cross at an event about gender bias in medicine among physicians and patients. Bias in m...

First of all, if these FAs really accused her of not being a doctor and flashing false credentials than that is BS and they should be disciplined... But I think this is probably slightly ignorant, clueless FAs, and an innocent misunderstanding... and as is the trend these days we love to get behind ...

Do they actually move your days off around within the month? (Mind you AC does this with grey days as well)

AC can't move your days off... pay protection for cancelled or lost flying has to fall with in a window based on the original flying and when it's lost.

Not my report. It was done by two independent outside experts. If you don't want to believe it fine, but be prepared for repeated results. The 10 year deal was also approved by a strong majority of pilots. I was not a fan either but it went through. In 2009, AC was broke and had only occasionally p...

What fit us into FOS? You are already at chicken, before the egg. Vocal minority? TA1 was voted down by the majority. The leadership was recalled and resigned. Had TA1 not gave so much, had we not had an out of touch leadership populated with daddy know best wannabe managers, the things in there wou...

This is pretty much how it goes when the company deals with ACPA and our contract...

a $2 tip with our own money and we say thank you...

Had to do some digging to find what the TA had for scope improvements. The ACPA website has been erased of those now embarrassing newsletters highlighting the proposed changes to the ACPA contract in 2011. Simply put: -new ASM ratios restricted growth of Tier 2 and 3 carriers -new ASM ratio calcula...

Sold? What did we get for SR on the island? Specifically what?

AC pilots used to hold those keys as Jazz was the only approved teir 2 carrier. The TA1 crew and a dubious survey put an end to that and we gave it away.

To get it back would cost AC pilots and I imagine the company would say that it's a "no go item" anyway...

Can't hurt to renew it... except in the bank account... If you're applying for jobs that will need a PPC... that will renew your IR... I remember I was out of work and broke and my IR had just expired, I just kept applying places with group 1 on my resume, I got a King Air job and mentioned that my ...

Decoupling.

It is a somewhat shortened course, same type right to left seat, whether EMJ or 777...

I'd have to pull up the exact footprints if you wanted to know by how much, but it would be similar.

First command upgrade has extra sim evaluations, "command sims", separate from the type training/rating itself.

320's will be with us for a while yet... well past 2024 I'd suspect.

As mentioned there are newer ones still with us at Mainline, plus rouge got 5 new 321s just a few years ago, and the trend is upgauging regional routes to the LCC where they have unrestrained fleet growth opportunity.

Seems they are hanging people out to dry on this screwup...

Thanks for clarifying the BOD vote. It does say the ALPA Canada President sits on the HQ Board as a non voting member. Is there a EVP position as well? If so that could be filled by a majority vote of the ALPA-c Board or by roll call? Let’s say the largest group had a real issue with a candidate fo...

It was recently mentioned to me that NorCal ATC Ops requires lighting for both 28 runways to be active to run the Bridge Visual Approach program at night.

If so, I don't know why that didn't come up. Maybe it's not true, I don't know where one would find that info relevant ATC procedures.

So anyone who disagrees with you is a dickhead? No, I said I was trying to be positive and not come off as a dickhead. I don't see the arbitrator handing down a windfall like Spirit rates, but aerobod said: I’m sure WestJet will pay a base comparable to Spirit after the CBA is sorted So to paraphra...

As far as I can see outside of stated information in Airline Pilot Central, the RSU, Stock Option and Proifit Share components have not been captured. Spirit does state a profit share program, but no evidence in their financials of any significant payout, they also have no evidence of special share...
