I don't think that is possible. Your old pension becomes a LIRA and only grows if invested similar to an RRSP account.Transition9er2 wrote: ↑Thu Mar 02, 2023 9:48 am
Are you in a financial position to get through your first few years if your spouse does NOT have a decent paying job.

Re: CNE airshow noise
A lot can be done about the noise. Simply attributing it to “big city” “downtown” is not satisfactory. Much has been written about the issue already. Weather people care is another. Writing people off who have a desire for positive community change shows lack of understanding. Many large and small c...

Re: Take the vaccine, or lose your job - WTF?
Trudeau is not coming back. As far as all the whining and moral posturing on Covid and vaccines it is pretty pathetic. If you can't see through the smoke screen then you will get whatever it is that is coming down. And yes I have had close family members pass away throughout this crisis and had to ...

Re: CNE airshow noise
Exposing 4.5million people to go to a loud air show in an already obnoxiously loud city is not nothing.
Most developed counties have identified noise as a huge detriment to quality of life of their communities.

Re: CNE airshow noise
Noise isn’t simply an irritation or an interruption to peaceful moments. Loud sounds stress the body and can lead to a host of serious health problems, like high blood pressure, heart attacks, and strokes. Research shows that noise pollution in the U.S. is more severe in communities with lower socio...

Re: Upgrade Times and current pool of eligible FOs
If you consider 2.5-3.5 years fast. Most people would say so, considering it's at a major airline. Captain status pay begins at "Activation Date", which is set at 9 months after the Bid Award of position. Training usually begins 9mo-12mo after award, but sometimes less, sometimes more depending on w...

Re: 737 max
This is a tight margin business. I'm quite surprised the airline can afford this whole situation dragging on and on.
My suspicion is that the writing is already on the wall for this type to leave AC sooner rather than later.

Re: Getting a mortgage as a Pilot
Yeah that's the problem I'm coming up against. The annoying thing is that I certainly can afford the repayments, I'm paying more now in rent, it's just that to qualify they use a much higher rate than you actually get once you have the mortgage. Thanks for the info though. If you think simply compa...

Re: First few years pay
2017 shows $75k.
25% year 1, 75% year 2 on flat pay on narrow body.
Flew a bit of overtime every other month. Could have easily done another 10k.
Sorted out pension in fall 2017 contract agreement was a huge relief for the long term.
Awesome awesome job, simply put.

Re: NewLeaf using Enerjet ?
Shell games and ricky business. Building a business plan on the supposed idea that customers are being unnecessarily gouged is arguable at best, considering some of the highest load factors the various Canadian airlines have ever seen. This has to be one of the weakest business ventures that has com...

Re: New CPA and flowthrough to Air Canada?
If that were true, there'd be no chance of ratification by over 1400 pilots. Mostly because there's be no future for the remaining 900 pilots unaffected by the Migration Agreement. Furthermore, current pay scales would just remain the same and the same problem to AC & Jazz would exist in 4-5 years.

Re: New CPA and flowthrough to Air Canada?
I think the above post accurately summarizes things unfolding in the near future.
Beyond that, I wouldn't expect any real information for at least another week and a half. APLA does things a little differently than ACPA.
