Re: Are Encore pilots aware they are accepting 705 wages below PC-12 & King Air captain rates?
First, comparing Northern Medevac wages to regional airline wages is a fool’s errand. Wasaya ATR's regional 2025 - Wasaya starting at +$130,000 - Year 6 Encore :!: Where's Encore pilots try to exceed Wasaya? In America, airline pilots are always trying to outdo the top contract. In Canada we sit he...

Re: Porter vs AC
Speaking from experience, the appeal of flying a big shinny jet fades quite quickly and lifestyle is the thing you start chasing! IMO, if I were in your shoes I’d be staying at Porter. AC management have made it abundantly clear that Porter is a major thorn in their side. It would NOT surprise me i...

Re: Grievance update for the 285ish former Jazz pilots affected by Flow
This should be extended to Jazz pilots that joined AC in 2022 as well. Plenty of Jazz pilots interviewed at AC in late 2019/early 2020 and were in the hiring pool when COVID hit. Instead of AC re-interviewing and hiring these pilots first when hiring resumed in the spring of 2022, Jazz held onto ma...

Re: Do the Executives send former ACPA Reps thank you cards

Re: ACPA Data Tracking
Gotta say...I'm really loving the DART system. Great way for the union to track issues and provide feedback to the pilot group Out of curiously...what did ACPA use?? There were some good ACPA people. But some key players were “afflicted” with “climb the ladder” syndrome. “Purge the scourge” is a by...

Re: WORLD CLASS CONTRACT: ALPA
ALPA doesn't do any promising, delivering or agreeing. That's what the MEC and pilots collectively do. ALPA gives you lawyers, advisors, comms people, financial analysis, etc. Pilots do the lifting. What kind of lawyers? The labour kind. That's a little pathetic for an organization that large to no...

Re: WORLD CLASS CONTRACT: ALPA
Did ALPA Westjet get a North American standard? ALPA seems to over promise and underdeliver. (I still support them) I just hope we have the numbers to vote NO to whatever ALPA reluctantly agrees to and we actually strike this time. ALPA doesn't do any promising, delivering or agreeing. That's what ...

Re: Is the ACPA Motto: "We will get'em next time" gone?
I’ve been struggling with understanding “why” the company agreed to this mediation piece. It seemed like things were going as per their playbook and they were getting what they wanted, but then agreed to mediation… why? The only thing I can think of is they played their hand too aggressively and to...

Re: Are the working conditions / is the pay that bad at air canada
Don’t base a career decision off a public forum. Lots of troll posts which may sully your perspective. Ask someone face to face, and ask several people at that point too. FACE TO FACE. Its your career. Do your homework and then ask yourself where do you see yourself in 5 or 10 years, money aside. Ai...

Re: EXPECTED NUMBER OF RETIREES AT AC.
An important discussion. When people talk about their career advancement at AC they need to keep in mind that outside this hiring boom (which will slow before long here), the advancement doesn't happen quick when 100 people retire out of 5 or 6 thousand. Going to unfortunately be eye opening for so...
