Update: A small win… AC ALPA listened to the concerns brought out by this issue and has successfully negotiated a transportation allowance for pilots ($100/month) at all bases upon receipt of a parking pass.(Or just ask for it if you don’t drive anyways) This is a battle won in a war towards fair an...

For everyone complaining about subsidizing airport worker's trips to the airport,... Let's not forget that at nearly every airport there is a surcharge applied. Rental cars are often cheaper off-airport, taxies charge an airport pickup/dropoff surcharge and city busses also charge differently to go...

My thoughts on this.. that not one asked for. Airport employees should be offered a monthly pass at a rate that is affordable at minimum wage, or at least affordable to the average wage received working at YYZ. The Skytrain in Vancouver is $104 (and includes the rest of the city's transit, but that...

Alright, This is a complete waste of my time but if it keeps this topic at the top, it'll get more views for the petition so what the heck. As someone who's advocated for cheaper public transit for airport employees for years. Who's actually taken those fights out of this dumb forum and to city cou...

They can take TTC to the airport. Same rationale for the 407. Its outrageous, but I save a ton of time using it. Time or money. Cant expect both. IF UP was the only public transit option I would agree with this thread and your post. When I travel to YVR, often, I can take Uber to where I stay, but ...

Students, seniors are groups of people who get discounts at public places too. As they should. No one should ever argue that! Again, Why? I’d argue it. Seniors are the richest demographic out there. By far. Look it up. Not always, but in aggregate, massively. Students, I agree. Ps: I noticed you ha...

My $.02. We can’t afford carveouts. Anywhere. The system is broke, from transit agencies to cities. I am an advocate for (modest) user fees across the board for public services. To see a doctor, for an ER visit, and parking. For road usage, including by EV’s. Parking is stupidly underpriced in most...

I agree with rookie. End of the day, the service has an operating budget. If the people who ride it don’t pay for it, this means someone else picks up the tab. These transit systems are already overly subsidized and expensed on those who don’t even use them. My question would be what right do you h...

Let me know when you answer the question in my first post. Why special treatment should be justified for one group? Hmmm… let me see. I have family abroad who served in the military… they get some discounts at their local stores My girlfriend used to work at starbucks and police officers got a disc...

Says who? You? :roll: Everybody who has a YYZ RAIC gets a discount, I don’t say this, it’s literally on the website https://www.iamtorontopearson.com/offers Let me know when you answer the question in my first post.

This is also a service for anyone who has a YYZ RAIC.

https://www.ttc.ca/trip-planner 1 HOUR 10 MINUTES ON TTC. 33 minutes UP. Not 2.5 hours. Both measured from Union. Still don't see the case expressed for special treatment. Unlike me when I take the GO, you still have a nice discount. Its just less than it was. Countless people commute an hour. Life...

I am curious why any selected group of employees should get a continued deep subsidy for their living / commuting costs. We all have them. Who should pay, if the user doesn't want to? Its 10 bucks to take the Go train each way from the suburbs downtown for everyone else. At least. Like to hear the ...

Im with rookie on this, if the UP costs “X” to run then that should be the cost. The bus runs to Pearson as well and is cheaper than the UP so if cost is an issue then you can use the bus. Thanks for your reply Fish4life Similar to the lack of fishing spots in downtown Toronto, there are a lack of ...

YYZ UP express commuters… I’ve had enough of the random, unjustified price hikes. Please take a moment to sign below, I would insanely appreciate it:) https://chng.it/2zBtwvbrpq I like many airport employees in Toronto, rely on the UP Express to commute to work. The fares are set to rise to $7.41 fo...

Hey Avcanada peeps! I have some great slides for the IATRA exam. So far, shared with many people who are passing with seemingly no issues! For anyone looking for additional support on concepts, I offer one on one tutoring for the exam. So far everyone I've helped has passed with flying colors! (In p...

Yes the salary is laughable. Its crazy how many non aviation people think we are all making big bux. No an FO salary will not buy you a house in Toronto. That being said, what salary nowadays can? Does everyone have to be a doctor to buy a 3 bedroom townhouse? People are literally buying houses with...

Hey peeps,

Send me a pm with your Gmail and I'll link ya some super helpful slides I used. I only used these and was happy with my mark!

Happy new years!

Hey! They have a plane based in YYZ at the skyservice FBO. C-GAGE. The owner/chief pilots name is Greg Street. Don't have much info on pay or anything, but I think its a mix of flying for a family and a bit or charter to offset costs. Was only him and another pilot, the FO. Don't remember if they fl...

Hey peeps,

Avcanada has helped me over the years and I would like to give back

I have some very very helpful slides I used for the IATRA. Studying those were honeslty good enough for the exam. PM me and I will link you the drive!

I'll give you my 0.02.... I was working for a 703 based in YYZ and surprise surprise our charters started slowing down like crazy. Having already completed 2/3rds of my FI rating in 2019 before I got offered the 703 job, I contemplated finishing it in case I got laid off. I went ahead and got it don...
