Government bought $500 million dollars worth of AC shares. That sounds bailout to me. Wow. I’d be interested to find out how you think that money made it into AC's pockets instead of the owners of the shares that sold them. Did AC issue some new shares for only the government to buy? https://www.du...

Short term gains. long term pain

I know that in the past (7+years ago) it did not matter when you interviewed or how long you were in the pool. Courses were populated by those who had the best scores (interview, testing, etc) out of all successful candidates. Maybe what is going on is nothing more than that.

Let me remind you of your original post with regard to there being "many" rouge captains that cannot hold mainline Captain positions: Is there any concern/talk at rouge that as it grows and more senior pilots are forced off mainline positions and into LCC CA positions that existing LCC guys with low...

Bottom mainline captain is seniority#2628, bottom rouge is 2629. There is one person on the Yyz rouge captain list that cannot hold mainline captain. There are 0 in yvr and 0 in yul. Your original post on this topic refers to mainline positions. The embraer is a mainline position. If you are referri...

Is there any concern/talk at rouge that as it grows and more senior pilots are forced off mainline positions and into LCC CA positions that existing LCC guys with lower seniority will be forced out of the left seat and into a different position? There are many holding CA positions at rouge that can...

If you have only held F/O or RP positions at Air Canada and choose to go to rouge as a captain then you go to the year 1 captain pay scale, regardless of how many years of service you have at AC.

I believe this is the same as westjet and transat. At mainline you get to carry your YOS with you.

Not sure why you think the travel benefits are false. All new hires will go behind every existing employee group. Future "managers" will all go ahead of new hires, regardless of seniority, based on a higher priority. The year 1 "calculation" is fact for LCC767/319CA. It is taken directly from compa...

New AC/Rouge hires travel based on the their seniority date just like everyone else. That's the way it's always been, not sure why it would be any different now. AFAIK Georgian travels on a lower priority, unless that's changed. Hasn't Jazz changed to? After a certain date Jazz employees are a lowe...

Used to do some of that at mainline.

Let the undercutting continue...

Anything to help the bottom line.

I think we can base the future based on past actions.....anyone thinking on staying with Canjet based on what is being posturised by Canjet recently....get the F*$% out...history has a tendency of repeating itself

Keep doing what you are doing Gilles.

The majority of us have your back.

no reserve for LCC....

I wouldn't base any career decisions based on the embraers leaving Air Canada. They are at AC and right now there is no reason to assume they will be leaving. If things do change and the 175's go to a regional carrier then they would most likely go to regional or Georgian or some other regional star...
