Re: Transit passes

No transit subsidy. However if you opt out of the parking you get an additional 100$/month before tax.

Re: Leaving jet job for Q400?

If you still intend on going to the regionals to get to AC quicker, do not go to Jazz.
You will be held back by Jazz/AC and will see all your friends getting hired while you wait for your seniority to be allowed to join the mothership.

Re: 5 pilots on 737 laid off

I dont know if its specific to my fleet or not but there's a high number of guys are apparently failing their 1st recurrent PPC after their initial. Most likely due to training fatigue. Unfortunately, failing a ride is pretty much a guaranteed probation extension at AC. It sucks but on the upside it...

Re: Prospects for a new hire in 2025

Strictly speaking from a seniority point-of-view; YES, now is a good time to join AC (if you can afford the drop in income). AC is expecting 90 new fins to be delivered in the next 5 years (a good mix of 220s, XLRs, MAX. and 787-10). This means probably between 1500-2000 new pilots required. The new...

If you still think there is no QOL in this TA go listen to episode 15 of we fly the flag. The ability to DROP AND PICK UP from open WITHOUT CS approval is a MAJOR QOL ITEM. You can basically remodel your awarded month after it's published.

Go talk to a FACTS member before spreading inacurate info

Everyone is entitled to their opinion on the TA. However before you go on here or on other platforms spreading misleading information, do your due diligence, and validate it with a union/FACTS member.

This was a public service announcement.
