Not sure if you just didn't read the article you posted, or you're being intentionally facetious. It doesn't matter if the conditions are smoke or fog, if you can't fly an instrument approach into Kelowna, you're not going to be landing there when the visibility is 3/4 mile. What exactly does that ...

I was contemplating whether or not to post it, I know it's a bit out of pocket. Whatever. But I think more people need to be aware of what it seems Reroute is becoming.......... long arm of ACPA? Shutting down all member communication is right out of the ACPA playbook. I find it odd that RG is sayin...

Prob not until after the AC bid is my guess which has now been delayed until next week. They do all the crewing calculations together then AC sends what they need to Jazz.

Are we allowed to compare ourselves to delta though? I thought that was against the rules...lol Only if your Jalmer or MM. How about our regional? Can we compare to them? 2 flight before check in policy, no fault drop if you can't make it. I've been told the reason we don't have one is for our bene...

Delta now has pos commuting and I'm sure they are only just the first to go this way. Multiple regionals in the USA pay for multiple hotels a month for commuters. And I think Endeavor already is doing the same pos space as Delta. Add the CASS jumpseater system and it's a whole different world for co...

A strike committee? Bro what are you smoking. ACPA prepare to strike?

And the boomers will still say "oh 60k that's not bad at all I made less when I started THIRTY YEARS AGO"...

While the wind clearly passes above their head.

What is everybody's take on the bid being delayed. Do you see this as a potentially busier future sched leading to more recalls or extra time to extract concessions? I think everybody is looking forward to having some sort of outlook to plan their lives around. I’m pessimistic. I think we’re just b...

I found the FOS contract, so I added some more numbers into my spreadsheet: C5E8B4DD-CDCA-42C7-A89C-E78A2EF56AD9.jpeg Or for the more graphically inclined: BEC91E1B-5441-43A7-8FC6-B2433981F710.jpeg In other words, by 2015 we still hadn’t got back to the 2003 pay, without factoring inflation! So in ...

http://www.avcanada.ca/forums2/download/file.php?id=17645 That sure reads as "we have a pay schedule, but we're going to pay less on the new equipment because people want to fly it and we can." And it happened again with the EMB and the A220. Similar to a lot of our provisions in the contract that ...

Legal is a joke. But the formula rates are posted on the ACPA website before each April. Well they sure don't do a very good job advertising that. ACPAs biggest ongoing issue is communication with members. And the dumb flight deck app isn't going to change that. Zero chance I'm putting an app that ...

Well when an unelected lawyer has way more control on the flow of information than anyone should have, this is the dumpster fire you get.

Did you know that committee chairs can't just call up an MEC member to have a chat? All info MUST go through the head of legal. Why? I have no clue.

Ok fair enough. I guess a middle ground I could be ok with is revamping formula pay (and fixing the FO % or CA pay) and ALSO have acpa post official paytables based on that formula once a year. It's not a lot of work and honestly the Crewsware guy is already 95% of the way there (there's a few glar...

So now that we've ironed out that there are some significant issues with pay and representation at the NHL of airlines, is there anything actively being done to improve any of the above? An honest question, its currently my 2nd day in a row eating instant noodles. Being able to own a home and retir...

I feel like everyone should read "Flying the Line" anyway... Unfortunately those contracts don’t contain pay tables. They simply show the formula pay inputs. Recreating the pay tables would be a huge undertaking. I don’t think it is realistic to expect someone to put in hundreds of hours to recreat...

The problem is getting a proper understanding of the losses. Since 2003 we have had cuts layered on top of cuts making it difficult. Kind of like opening a credit card statement and initially looking at it in disbelief. Initially it’s denial. No way, I didn’t do that! Then you go through it line by...

Active employees ahead of retirees should be the policy. Just like other large airlines. IMO there is no scenario, beyond a retirement POS pass that someone that doesn't presently work at the company should go ahead of someone that does. That said, agent nepotism had F-d a lot up for all pass trave...

Hello all, as the title says, is it going to block off too much noise that will end up having trouble hearing the radio? I don't want to turn up the radio unit volume, as I worry it will be too loud for other passengers. So just wanna know if passive noise reduction headset + earplugs will give res...

That's still $40k or so more, all things equal.... I am using the pension estimator choosing the highest paid projected status as soon as possible. The pension calculator also accounts for a pay rate of WB CA in the $400s... I'm sure guys in the early 2000's though we'd already be there or close. Bu...

Not sure if you just didn't read the article you posted, or you're being intentionally facetious. He explains the BC Wildfire Service places what’s referred to as a “no-fly zone” in the vicinity of the fire. That zone is also right above the instrument approach into Kelowna International. “Because ...

So airlines can fly in fog but not smoke? More of the same from the Canadian airline sector

Are you dumb?

The only requirement to be pic on any 705 aircraft is an ATPL.

I'm curious to know the status of the march 14th, 2020 ground school group. Since "everyone" is being recalled, this should include those as well since seniority number were awarded. I believe they were sent back home before the 2nd week of their training started. Every Jazz pilot that was on payro...
