2026 official numbers were 6500 pilots. This number has already increased by 500 recently.
Source?
Failed MOA had these numbers published in the document or maybe the ACPA supporting documents but it was there.

Re: Is it that bad at AC for pilots? I mean food stamp bad!

Very easy. Once you go widebody CA — you can’t compare a 737/E192 pay scale, Your career earnings go up exponentially. A WB upgrade on the 767 has gone as low as 5yrs until the reduced and A330 is about 10-12yrs right now. Long term AC is the best career path in Canada. Also as far as the comment on...

Re: Is it that bad at AC for pilots? I mean food stamp bad!

If you’re in your 30s — you’ll have a great career with great pension. If you’re younger you’re gonna do even better. Just avoid having ex wives and paying alimony. If you come in your 40s and do 25yrs — you’ll still have a decent career with a great pension. If you’re in your 50s — 15yrs will bring...

Re: Is it that bad at AC for pilots? I mean food stamp bad!

It is bad. The guys who made the sacrifice now tho will reap the benefits. Upgrade times here will outpace everything by the 2028-2030s when retirements hit record numbers. 170k now is good but your future at AC is still much better especially once the contract gets settled.

If anything - the social media pilots should be wearing their Red lanyards proudly. If they are wearing it they stand for the union. Stop creating these stupid posts when clearly most of the pilots seem to admit they don't understand the power of social media. These are time wasting posts. Focus on ...

I see a sad Yes vote on this unfortunately. Canadian pilots have been taught to not have a backbone. Senior guys happy to get what they can get. Junior guys completely disenfranchised and don't care. Sad to see what Jazz has become. A Yes vote to a MOS that the Union doesn't even support will be the...

Re: Approx Net Pay - First Year Q400 Captain

Porter doesn't have a union. That’s correct. And, they don’t have a union because they have a good working relationship between them. If Porter started going outside the posted agreement/ wage bands, doing “special favours”, etc. a union becomes more likely. There is no such thing as a good working...
