Lol so many disgruntled pilots who instead of using facts just called names. Told you don’t deserve a raise. All you need to do is show me why economically within The financials you need significant raises. Our market doesn’t support it. I’ve shown you and read airline financials and torn them apar...

Demonstrating yourself as "deserving" means shit. You could be the most productive pilot the ever was, have a superpower that cut fuel burns and boosted payload and these executives would just use you up. As had been stated, we are more productive than ever as group, computerized rostering, lighter...

The wealth gap is growing. Executive salary is significantly higher in relation to the front line worker than it used to be. Does an airline CEO really need to make 100x more than an airline pilot? Does a grocery store CEO really need to make 250x more than a stock boy? Does an oil company CEO need...

Please show me the math how Delta wages (roughly 1.5x your current top end for their top end not including an extra 40% for currency conversion) would only add "a few dollars". I already showed you how at minimum a 10% wage increase across the board to all groups would add at minimum 2.5-3% to tick...

Waiting for McKinley to be toasted and put on the “not in my jump seat” list Statistically you’re more likely to die in a vehicle crash than an airline crash. So by that logic pay the truckers and everyone who drives cars more than pilots in the name of safety. I can't decide if you guys are trolls...

Waiting for McKinley to be toasted and put on the “not in my jump seat” list Statistically you’re more likely to die in a vehicle crash than an airline crash. So by that logic pay the truckers and everyone who drives cars more than pilots in the name of safety. For having a difference of opinion? N...

I haven’t heard one solid case made for higher pay by Alpa. What value do you bring? What skills do you bring? What are risks of your job? What are your responsibilities? You'll make the same joining WestJet with 10k hours on type and thus reduce the risk you mentioned. If WestJet doesn't value the...

OK. For the record I support this strike and especially the pay for entry level pilots. Onex sure sounds like a nice group of people…. :roll: I thought the quote meant “a unique worker group to any in Canada” :roll: My mistake then. The thing I will say, is a ton of other worker groups feel the sam...

Fixed it. Now please tell me though, how pilots are a “unique work group” Because, they are the only group that can shut it down, the only group that has to be employed by the company in order to attain and maintain an AOC. All other groups can be trained in a couple days to weeks or can be contrac...

Wow. If you weren't at the event, all pilots should see what's going on. Even for student pilots, flight instructor or low time FO, what's going on relates to your career. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nSgSk2kP_oM Unfortunately, the general public’s definition of “ exploitation” may differ. I don...

Well, when we thought it couldn’t get more delayed now there’s this … Remember, folks ! The pandemic isn’t over ! Save lives by destroying the lives of others ! Go Trudumb ! Of course, alpa pilots should be in solidarity with these individuals who can’t process pilot medicals in under a year. https:...

How is instructing a backup if you lose your medical? If you're talking about being a ground instructor, then you don't need an instructor rating for that at all. No need to spend 10k on that. It’s not . I believe the OP stated that instructing would allow him to work in an alternate field while ac...

I'm trying to get back into flying after covid threw me off track. I have just over 300 hours. I'm curious what you would pick if the choices were to instruct part-time while working a full time corporate job or to bite the bullet and do a ramp to flight line position up north. My goal is to hopefu...

I hope this goes well…

The public perception of this strike isn’t good.


In my opinion, alpa hasn’t made its case in terms of the reason for the strike action.” Eg. We need a contract that’s equal ..” huh ?


Why not explain the issues ?

:mrgreen: But we got the best dental plan at Jazz. https://i.etsystatic.com/41917623/r/il/9943c1/4784401277/il_794xN.4784401277_77m3.jpg Yeah, hope to god whatever provider does direct billing because your credit card is probably maxed!! Also, hopefully, there’s bus or sky train because good look a...

That’s $8400 per year …… per pilot you guys are paying … guys / gals making 38,000 will be be making 29,600 before tax!! LMAO!!!

What a deal!!! Sign me up.

I figured I’d get a conversation going on this topic … When researching the topic, it was also hard to find something concrete about the minimum livable yearly salary in Canada that wasn’t based on old data, loaded with gobbledygook etc. ( a separate Issue in itself ) What I did find, was that there...

Hello! I am on a soon to be GS and I have a lot of Questions: How to choose my Flight Bag, what are the dimensions availiable to place it in the various Dash, and in the RJ? Will the books given to us fit in a Flight Bag? or should I also bring a Backpack? (And a grocery cart? :lol: ) Is the traini...

Easy. Just pick one of the plethora of shitty Canadian 705s. Work until you can’t and then quit. Pick another one when you’re done. Do seniority numbers and schedule even matter compared to flexibility as you’re looking to leave aviation anyways? Always look out for #1. The issue I have is I’m tryi...
