With narrowbody & reserve rules being among worst in the world, I would say you just avoid that all together. Unstacking is still rampant and I haven't seen much improvement since the new world class contract. So that leaves you with Widebody but being RP leaves you being the lowest paid global airl...

A union volunteer position is a very thankless job with many more hours not “paid” than what they might benefit from. I thought about running for a rep position long ago and realized, it’s not worth it and the reality is I would have been in hot water no doubt, I’m not afraid to tell someone that t...

Hope you are all took advantage of ESOP...at least you can count on the Execs making some coin here for the shareholders

As this "World Class Contract" ages like a rotten diarrhea dump fermenting in the tank of a B777 out of Delhi, what should the members that voted 'Yes' do? Resign? Get recalled? Go into hiding? Post a selfie about some shit about "Moving Together"? Maybe another video from the hills of the Taliban ...

Not as happy as we would have been if this had been a 10yr deal. Take solace in that. Some might say it’s not the deal you wanted or expected, but it maybe it’s the deal you needed to get you through the next few years. Remember the Americans have been following pattern bargaining for almost a deca...

For the TLDR crowd:

Angry old ACPA hack that instead of just enjoying his time at the cottage and his hefty pay raise...would rather reminisce on the good old days of failure

Lt Dan,

Ex-ACPA shills posting only unites the pilot group.

Keep it up. You're doing the Lord's work here.

Cdnavater,

What is the acceptable Canadian discount in your view?

50%? Since you think Encore didn't have anymore leverage

Exactly. Even Castlegar used to be served by a 737-200 Pretty much all these places can accommodate a 220, 319 and some NG/MAXs depending payload, except probably Masset when it’s wet/standing water. Even if WestJet was going to do this and fly 737s into Castlegar which is laughable at best, wouldn...

Honest question: When was the last time a major US airline was allowed to strike? Under the Railway Labor Act, can they? So US ALPA pilot unions have been extremely successful in their campaigns without striking...why can't Canadian pilots with their better leverage under the Canadian Labour Code p...

ALPA just released their Economic & Financial analysis report on record profits in the airline industry compounded with a pilot shortage and here we are with marginal gains with a whopping 5 yrs deal. It's astonishingly ridiculous how under performing this profession is doing in execution Enjoy flyi...

Why do so many people hate on “flat pay”? Flat pay is not the problem, it’s the amount they pay that’s the issue. Your initial pay should not be based on luck of the draw. You draw a 220 and buddy next to you gets the 777 on day one and makes a pile more. Type pay is actually stupid, what is actual...

Sorry to hear that dude. Rates are high right now also. Hope you can make it work. Thanks. If this new contract isn't great I will most likely be forced to leave in search of better pay/lower cost of living. I don't regret trying the whole AC thing its just not sustainable these days on flat pay wi...

Yeah, good thing we won’t fall for that again!! Wait, this just in…….. The chair and vice chair of the alpa negots committee that are at the table right now, today, are the same fools that brought us that trash. Then JR went on the most f’d up hard-selling, angry, condescending, disingenuous rant t...

The group of posters on this thread are interesting... they (with their extensive backgrounds in labour law, contract negotiating, corporate finances) seem to know more than the people who were actually in the room. Where does all that knowledge come from? Reading and writing on internet forums? Yo...

Wow. Just wow. Pretty astounding to think that ALPA was at the table. Those guys need to give their heads a shake. What a disappointment. The aviation industry in this country is really, really sick. Good luck. Hard to not agree with Ripple here... ALPA made some speeches about how the discount on ...

Are Air Canada pilots debating if the starting wage is poverty or not?

Lol!!!

Yup...

I got an interview with Emirates and I can't afford to live on Air Canada wages in Toronto or Vancouver Does anyone have an update on negotiations or should I assume these Air Canada managers are incompetent and out to lunch like their On Time Performance, bag tracking or ability to take care of wh...

This move from the MEC makes no sense. All it does is drag the process out mean while we are getting paid the same and under the same conditions. While they keep labour cost low. Also there is a good chance of no retro active pay. The company is winning lol. If an impass is called June 1st. We woul...

The only thing I learned from reading this thread is that AC pilots have an irrational obsession with lanyards….? Lol I've learned that we still got boomers who think once you've done one thing for the profession that gives you carte Blanche for the rest of your career to not have to do anything Or...

Did any of the YVR reps make it to the YVR Picket??

I didn't see any shills oh I mean ex acpa Reps at the Toronto picket either

5 pages triggered by one pilot's view of the middle east

Not a single post on the largest pilot picket in Canadian history on September 29th in Toronto
