Jazz is getting bought and integrated, extra 1100 pilots on property will ensure a good surplus :lol: Only been hearing that one for 20 years now. 😂 On the other hand, hiring has slowed to a trickle, fins being removed from fleet, no new orders on the horizon but they are hiring F/As for some reaso...

I'm generally laid back. But a 2000 fpm VS climb to the yellow band will elicit a comment from pretty much any captain. Nothing in the SOP about this? If nothing in the SOP- then it should be covered in Line Training. SOPs can't cover every scenario. I agree that I would be saying something as well...

Crazy idea, but how about avoiding it laterally instead of trying to top a CB where the turbulence above the top can extend another couple of thousand feet. If there's that much time to mess with the climb, someone should have keyed the mic and requested a deviation.

One thing is for sure, the FA group is far more tenacious and headstrong (ballsy) than AC pilots can ever dream to be. Your FAs have now made you look like wimps and your sudden capitulation at the wrong time in your own negots are revealing of the inadequacies of your group and the false confidenc...

I think the new pay scales are fair, ive been told it would be a salary of 30600 a year on year 1, plus approx 15 k or more in perdiums plus additional pay benefits aswell. A year one FA would be looking at 46-48 k a year or more, for only around 12 days of work a month and thats only year one, the...

Likely wouldn’t apply to AC is they are governed by Federal law and are technically a YUL corporation.

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...

To each his own. I’d much rather do 3 legs a day on a NB and be within 2 time zones than do a long red eye, stay up, reset your body clock, then do it again on the way back. How come you guys didn’t go for a WB cap on the last world standard premium elite contract ? Because of the word "seniority" ...

6 crossings a month ???!! @#$! that junior schedules seems to be that, bunch of CDG / LHR , 24 hour layover, good thing is you are gone 48 hour, compares to the brutal 4 dayer 12 legs pairing we get on narrow body. To each his own. I’d much rather do 3 legs a day on a NB and be within 2 time zones ...

I can’t see how someone on an approved leave of absence for reasons such as compassionate care, parental, etc, gets a ‘phone call’ about being in trouble… seems like a far reach to create speculation and rumours. Even training failures on probation have a process in our contract… if by the time tho...

Hate to be a Debby Downer but checked roommate's training report and it looks like PIT 9 disappeared and PIT 10 says "Potential CX" Might be a while Advance transborder bookings are down 70% YOY, but advance capacity is down just 3.5%. That is not financially sustainable. The Commercial departments...

Like Calin Rovinescu? Yeah, he was pretty bad for the share price. :roll: Nationalized Canadian. He was born in Romania. Even though he was tough on pilots and pilot contracts there was never a doubt with the direction of the corporation and his ability to finance it. I'd take him back in a heartbe...

Stock hasn't done shit in 5 years. Notorious financial commentator in the US has a saying, "never invest in anything with a Canadian CEO." Ouch Like Calin Rovinescu? Yeah, he was pretty bad for the share price. :roll: Nationalized Canadian. He was born in Romania. Even though he was tough on pilots...

IMO the stock price wont go anywhere with an accountant CEO. There is no corporate direction, vision, with obvious cost cutting operations and no employee buy-in. I'm surprised the entire leadership group hasn't been turfed with analysts putting the value at $30/share yet the market holds it below $...

We don’t see anyone single engine taxi Or rushing to make an on time departure.. They made us not care. I honestly wish we were not pushed this way but that’s the way management wants it now 🤷🏽‍♂️ Yeah, another example of lost "motivation" is how I used to hang out in the FD until the snail paced r...

The "logic" was that the profit share was an unknown certainty and the guaranteed pay raises accounted for the occasional profit share. I’m for it. Pay me today on a negotiated scale rather than maybe a bonus once a year based on conditions someone else controls. I wanted both. The EBITDAR floor is...

The committee is P2P and it’s been called that for a very long time. Check it on the ALPA app. Help is available if anyone wants the service of pilot volunteers Except it’s not. What you’re referring to under ALPA is Pilot Assistance. P2P does not provide support for pilots going through a hard tim...

Being a RP sounds like a dream if you want to have a passion project outside flying Exactly. I'm a top 25% RP and I work 9 days a month. I have a side hustle. However, with the new TA, we've been left so far in the dust. It's become hard to justify the pay differential versus the other 3 pilots in ...

Oh, they’re full of it…

You can. It’s called seniority. So the 35 year old captain with 2 young kids at home should be on the road 18 per month so the 60 year old can only work 8. Got it. Makes sense. Not an expert, but isn't part of the attraction of Air Canada the ability to bid for lifestyle over pay? I heard that the ...

That 60 year old CA was once junior too. Difference is, not many had the career chance to be an AC Captain at 35...
