If this is accurate, and I have no reason to think it isn’t. Perhaps an anonymous email to an investigative reporter?

Re: New hire experiences

I've found it a bit difficult interacting with the flight attendants sometimes. Maybe I'm too sensitive but negative experiences with people tend to stay with me afterwards. I'm often left wondering what I did to offend them or cause them to act passive-aggressively towards me. Sometimes it feels l...

This "we are on the edge of needing layoffs" and "too poor to pay for fuel" narrative also works to the company's favour as the AME's and rampies contract is up and they will be entering negotiations this summer.

Re: 2026 PIT FLEET AC

Is it true that A330 RP out of YYZ get a lot of pairings that are operating out to Europe and then DH home? Sometimes, however in the latest contract we now have mirror augment pairings, meaning if you operate one way, you typically operate back with the crew. DH would be typical of a type change o...

Had a shower thought and was hoping someone could provide some insight. Why are people bidding RP in their PIT? What is the benefit other than "flying" a widebody right out of the gate? Flat pay.

Some are making $200k/year by the end of their career that's how. What's the problem with that? If someone puts in their time and spends 40+ years at a company they should be very well compensated.

Embarrassing. AC wins again. Did they though? The FAs maybe didn't win a massive gain but what they did walk away with was way more unity than AC ALPA could ever wish for. And that says something going forward into future negots. And hopefully them walking helps make changes to the CLC and the use ...

Re: Fleet offers

YVR has typically been a senior base and difficult to get into. The years of wide open bids aren't the norm. FAs reach a strike position in a few weeks. When that contract finally wraps up I think that we will see an end of Rouge in the deal, or at least not viable anymore for the company. If Rouge...
