Re: Air Canada Captain didn't have required license

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...

Re: What's the plan?
Threads like this make you wonder who in their right mind would want to represent the membership. Management treats staff with contempt and you blame elected reps? 90 filed grievances that wouldn't be filed if legal didn't think the language supported them. I would be upset if ALPA wasn't filing gr...

Re: Air Canada CEO summoned to Ottawa over English-only condolence video for LaGuardia crash
Where? To only other countries where English is the national language? Because if you've flown to europe you'd have heard multiple countries speak their language to national traffic. Same with Asia and latin america. Unless you were making shit up about canada being the only country that does it to...

Re: Widebody fleet replacements?
I’ve heard that the earnings report on Feb 12th (or shortly thereafter) will be the same time the company announces their future widebody replacement plans. Through the grapevine it sounds like the company is pushing more towards the A350-1000 rather than the 777-8 or 777-9. What are you guys’ thou...

Re: True Story
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...

Re: True Story
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.

Re: Flight Attendant strike vote opens on July 28th
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...

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...

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...

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...
