Re: 2026 PIT FLEET AC

Is it true that A330 RP out of YYZ get a lot of pairings that are operating out to Europe and then DH home? Yes and have fun in economy only captains and first officers get confirmed business class seating on planned DH so have at it. that was changed on last contract, stop spreading lies. Mirrored...

Re: Leave TS for AC?

Genuine question. Would you have been as happy / satisfied with your move if you had to wait 7 years to be a nb captain? I think you were among the tail end of that narrative of guys holding command within 18 months and being trained up by year 3. Now it’s likely 5 years to hold, and 6 years to be ...

Re: 2026 PIT FLEET AC

no Why not? I have ATPL I WANT TO APPLY It’s simple, in order to hire DEC, there would need to be unbid vacancies for the left seat, not likely to happen anytime soon. You're too polite there, it will NEVER happen. everyone that is hired already has the minimum requirement to upgrade on day 1.

Re: January/Feb calls

290-100 retirements is a net increase of 190. 190/5800=3.3% increase in pilot population. A slightly higher percent increase in total flying positions when inactive pilots are removed from the calculation but still very modest. Perhaps somewhere out in mid to late 2026 the picture for 2027 will bec...

Re: Upcoming Ground Schools

Hiring has really slowed down lately. Unless there are more classes below you, your base transfer could range from weeks to several months after you finish training. I personally don’t agree with the assigning of bases after you start. Bases should be offered during the interview. Then you can make...

Do you really need the data? A median salary in the 90s would afford you a detached house and a couple cars in the driveway. Now you'd need at least $350k/year to afford that. I’m not sure where you came up with that, I just bought a house in BC and have two newer vehicles in the driveway, a few to...

Re: Does anyone know what the MEC is actually trying to get out of the ULP?

The big one was when they sent back a pay table. They completely blew past every line, making it clear we were never in negotiations with Jazz, but rather AC. So if AC pilots want to be mad at someone, be mad with AC management. We are just playing the cards we were given. We would have much prefer...

Yes if Air Canada is dictating our wages and and many other facets of our employment at Jazz then who really is our employer? Very deep question. Call ac crew sked about a specific pairing. Call ac payroll for a pay claim. Also call ac duty pilot if you have any issue. I think everyone know who you...
