Re: Why everyone runs to AC?
The first 4 years flat pay is dog shit, that's why negotiations for a new contract are underway. And to be honest, even we don't get a "World Class Contract" the majority are staying, and new pilots will continue to join. The unmatched job security and pension benefits at AC are significant factors....

Re: Is being Relief Pilot detrimental to career

The true is, many RP I talked to love their schedule, the European, Asian layover, day off etc. And had no issue transition back to FO or CA. However, I do agree we should get rid of RP position for the next...

Re: Relief Pilot hour logging
:bear: They do the same IPT and SIM. But obviously not takeoff and landing part during IOE. You’re right, It used to be different course, RP used to go through a much quicker and shorter course.
