Just wondering what fleets have been on offer in the latest pit classes.

How was anyone afraid of arbitration? Flair and Westjet have set some benchmarks. I honestly can’t see how an arbitration process would leave you worse of then you already were or are now. The 67% is no shocker…. They were all happy to either vote 10 years ago for the crap or that went there in the...

To: All Air Canada Pilots From: ACA MEC Re: Upcoming Compensation and Benefits Proposal Fellow Pilots, As the voting process commenced, it became apparent that within a span of six hours, the Company requested an update on the voting participation among pilots. The response rate was an impressive 7...

What’s the worst that could happen if you disobey government orders to not strike? I only ask because I hear all this talk and fear about oh, government will do this & that, so what if you choose to walk out.

I seriously cannot envision a well qualified pilot jumping ship to AC at this starting rate. You gotta have a serious infatuation with looking pretty walking down terminals. Might as well remove the AtPl and 2000 hrs requirement because there ain’t much out there.

Junior FOs needed this the most and once again gets @#$!’d by their union and will get fcuk’d again by the senior captains. All that hype for what…

And what is it that makes you think ACAMEC will get a starting salary below Porter, WJ and Flair? That’s just delusional 80k would put them below flair only. WJ and porter start lower than 80k. And even Morningstar pilots starts above 92k on day1... 85-86k I believe, 120k by yr 4-5. They got a good...

This article is toxic, insulting almost! I hope AC had nothing to do with its contents coz now I really wish you guys strike and leave stay home until every single demand is met…it’s not like you’re asking for anything unreasonable anyways. I hope everyone understands that you will eventually get wh...

RP does not at all necessarily have a better schedule. The RPs out of YYZ and YUL have most of the Europe trips that operate one way and DH back (unaugmented flight one way) which with 50% DH credit make those about 12-13 hours for 3 days. The result is the "famous" 18-21 day blocks at Air Canada b...

Thanks

I don't think WB FO spots have been offered in PIT since late last year.

I've heard if you have jet time they would rather give you WB FO rather than WB RP even if you wanted RP. This changed? With flat pay WB FO is a lot shittier than RP.

How recent was this happening?

Any word on fleet choices in the last PIT class? Are there a lot of WB FOs in that mix or mostly NB FO slots? And what was the general experience mix in that last PIT? PIT classes for the past several months have been almost all NB FO with the occasional WB RP spot. Of the NB FO spots I'd say about...

Is that a Jan 2028 pay rise, am I seeing this right. Geez with this economy that might not even be enough for min wage.

Not a lot of positive opinions out there on Flair, I hope it’s really not that bad because god knows Canada cannot be left vulnerable to two predators on the market. I rely on Flair heavily for my commute and would donate ( not pledge haha) a couple bills to give them a lifeline.

If AC ALpadoesn’t get this sorted out this time around we’re all fcked! Every pilot everywhere. You get it right you’ll open a floodgate of times never seen before in Canadian aviation.

He’s just angry that no one can post the details here yet. If they had any idea how negotiations worked, then there would be no bitching. Posting the TA is not happening right now, it you want it now you’ll be looking at tons of sheets with signatures, scratched out wording, etc all over it. How ab...

I think we all (especially the westjet guys and girls who were planning to be on strike today) need to see the actual TA before any comments are made on whether its a good deal or not. 100%. I never understood why the union gets to agree on anything before sharing details with the pilots. In the re...

No layoffs and no forced base moves. With potentially 4 less aircraft then planned for this year the hiring will slow. Anyone awarded an upgrade will continue and, if we are heavy slightly, so be it. Flair has always treated its pilot fairly and that won't change now. The 'shrills' on here with the...

What’s the pay, work schedule like. Anyone know, I thought I saw someone up there I assume to be an insider, can you update or PM me on pay and work schedule etc. I only assume if conductors make as much as they do then pilots should be killing it!

Hello folks, I am happy to share that I got a call for interview in Jan but quite anxious as what to expect. I have been following all the threads regarding FAQs and what are asked at the past interviews. According to the mail, I will be going through a computerised assessment before in-person inte...

Totally honest question, with most airlines looking for pilots why would someone pick Flair? Seems like the highest risk option out there besides maybe Jetlines. Totally honest answer. Pros; 1- Competitive salary, one of the higher starting FO pay and the new tentative contact captain pay is on par...

Hey Guys, I am 2000+ 703 captain with ATPL right now. I want to hear your opinion on my career path. I have a choice to make whether to go to Jazz or ULCC set up in YYC. I’ve been talking to many pilots in the industry and older pilots who have been in the industry for a while tend to tell me to go...

Lots of qualified F/Os at the company that don’t want to bid the left seat due to a rotten schedule as well….. Seniority is everything at Jazz. If you’re near the bottom you’ll work almost every weekend and holiday and/or be stuck with reserve or continuous duties aka stand ups. And they are horrib...

Do you Jazz guys remember sometime back in early summer when you got an email from your CP about AC starting flow, and that everyone interested should redo their AC application and forward copy to Jazz. Well, that was just a test to get a sense of who wanted to go and the numbers. Thts about the tim...
