2% is wrong. My bad 2024 rates First Officer Year 1: AC: $87.48 WJ: $84.26 Percentage - 2.75% First Officer Year 3: AC: $118.47 WJ: $116.66 Percentage: 1.54% So in some cases LESS THAN 2% :shock: This is either rage bait or an ALPA conspiracy to make ALPA dissidents look like fucking retards.

Where is that WestJet +2 % coming from? Have you compared pay scales, you’re looking at 5-15% at least… even with the flat pay. Yr12 787 2026 WJ CA - 353.94 Yr12 787 2026 AC CA - 421.78 Yr12 737 2026 WJ CA - 304.90 Yr12 737 2026 AC CA - 337.33 Yr11 787 2026 WJ FO - 213.88 Yr11 787 2026 AC FO - 265.1...

Now getting seats that don't recline. It is one thing for Ryanair to do it when you pay a dollar but WJ has similar prices to AC and Porter, Porter or AC for me thanks. Don't pick that seat. And if you do they are fixed at a slight recline beyond the full upright of the previous seats. WestJet is n...

Instead of 2% of our salary, which adds up to hundreds of thousands of dollars over our careers, I'd like to hire two lawyers. Every time the contract is up they bring us the company's offer and we vote to accept or to strike. It would cost us each $100 a year and produce the same results, if not b...

Negotiations resume next year. A great deal of the current contract is yet to be implemented. This is nothing short of a disaster for the union. Can totally understand why some pilots have lost faith. It's deliberate. That is what the company wants you to do. Give up and lose the faith. Stop fighti...

Can we not all convert to Mormonism or JW and donate our unions dues to a charity ? Asking for a friend.

Was same thing last year. Fall hiring was all Jazz.

I'd rather serve time in jail than work for Jazz again. The compensation package in federal penitentiary is vastly superior to the first 4 years at Jazz. No comparisons. Free housing ? Food ? Gym ? Books ? Sleep schedule ? Reserve ? Rape ? Sure it might happens here and there but so does it at Jazz,...

lol. Lmao even. It’s way worse than even junior AC WB flying.

You’re absolutely tarded to leave a career like this at 28 to go over the sandbox and all its BS only to come back at 38 ? Then what?

If you look at the last 25 years, this is still arguably the best time to get a license. No you might not get on a 737 at 250 hrs like a few lucky ones but you won’t have to do 3 years slaving on the ramp in Yellowknife and clean the shitter either. Wasn’t that long ago that your typical navajo/metr...

Everyone that called the Alaska air landing into SNA a hard landing had to eat crow when it came out that it was only 1.7G and the collapse happened due to improper maintenance

Holy crap dude. Use chatGPT much? Ask it how many girlfriends you’ll have in your life How is this chatGPT? Looks like some solid basic math with clear assumptions. WestJet will be the first to tell you that they don't determine staffing on crews per plane, but rather number of block hours. Nonethe...

Some growth, some retirement will lead to some hiring… eventually. The airline is somewhat well staffed now post Sunwing integration and only taking 20 more pilots from the encore flow and those are mostly because of Sunwing crews going to AC or other opportunities. And remember there’s also 34x 700...

I think the new pay scales are fair, ive been told it would be a salary of 30600 a year on year 1, plus approx 15 k or more in perdiums plus additional pay benefits aswell. A year one FA would be looking at 46-48 k a year or more, for only around 12 days of work a month and thats only year one, the...

Some YUL capts who lost their seat on the integration bid also went to AC.

The union leadership, both local and national were risking arrest, if you were Charlene, would you risk being arrested and affecting the rest of your career because of that?

Yes.

Guess we’ll find out what peak leverage is.

What are the flight attendants issues? They applied, accepted an offer of employment that outlined everything then end up whining. I’d say they’re overpaid for what they actually do. Money can’t be an issue for them, if one is struggling you usually can’t afford make up lol I fully support the comp...

Imagine thinking you still have rights in this country in 2025.

Absolute bucket of crab mentality.
It’s sickening to see professionals punching down on their colleagues during the most critical phase of their negos.

When the majority of flights out west are late due to airport construction and lack of ATC staffing then perhaps 50% ground pay isn’t such a bad idea…

boohoo, god forbid an industry with razor thin profit margins try to fill their bag while they can. It’s only razor thin margins because of the incompetence of certain leaders and their wild windmill chasing (ie the entire cargo division). Scalping your loyal customers to make up for your fuckups i...

Good job to everyone letting the liberals in power after 10 years of making this country into a shithole. It could really matter less who is in power. Did you forget it was a Conservative Government that was in power that used legislation to prevent strike action and impose the 10 year collective a...

The Feds, either libs or cons, don’t give a flying @#$! about your charter of rights, as proven by the last 5 years.

While I respect that the QC/Ufly combo is a great budget friendly option, and that it has the added bonus of doubling as a regular headset for deadheads, if you are flying professionally 6-10 hours per day, 400-900 hours per year, you should be investing in equipment that is designed for heavy usea...
