Re: Lanyards?
Good post Texarcana, also for anyone curious, not once have lanyards come up or been discussed on any of the flights I've operated. Seems to be a weird social media hangup. You don't notice the lack of communication from the union or the fact pilots are roaming around with clips & AC Lanyards? Sear...

Re: World Worst Reserve Rules
DBM is 70 for many fleets this month
A whopping 68 hrs of pay for reserve
Most airlines have mins of 75 / 77.5
AC is a 900 hrs guarantee for the YEAR

Re: Play The Long Game
Well if this sticks I guess AC captains better get used to flying mostly single pilot and doing constant unpaid line indoc because with the starting pay AC won't attract any experienced FOs. AC will never have a shortage of qualified applicants. They know this and use it to their advantage. Hilario...

Re: Air Canada is Not WestJet
Hopefully Pilots can see the reason for the video
Air Canada will want to anchor low with the "Canadian Pilot Market"
AC Pilots need to anchor to US Airline Pilot wages for historic gains
It's strategy. Nothing personal against the colleagues at WJ

Just make sure you know what you would be getting yourself into if it isn’t AC. Don’t be relying on a recruiter to paint a realistic picture. Think about your life in total and longer term. Getting enticed by the shiny carrot can be a regretful move. I just don't see anything shiny at AC I have fri...

Re: Is the ACPA Motto: "We will get'em next time" gone?
Serious question. So the BOD told management that the priority was to “ protect the summer.” Makes sense. So my question is, would it be possible for us to go on strike in June when we have the most financial leverage? My read of this mediation is the earliest we could strike is Aug. Is this the ca...

Re: Is the ACPA Motto: "We will get'em next time" gone?
Honestly I'd probably be homeless if we went on strike or lockout now. So from a personal perspective this is great for me. But I don't think we should have delayed job action until September. The risk of a downturn in the economy hurting our bargaining position is too high. A bit of advice. PLAN B...

Really a poor taste comment. Nobody at TS likes the bond. But why would a pilot take a job here knowing the pay and conditions and then leave for AC shortly after? Why come to TS and waste our time if you’re waiting for AC? That’s just as disgusting as your comment. Why would a pilot stay at a subp...
