I’m a full time AC pilot.

I also work a second job.

Phone calls.

No paper trail.

What region you in? I sent mine in Dec 6th, Prairie Region.

Nothing received yet.

Just a quick calculator I built for myself to visualize the different pay increases compared to Porter and WestJet (in this case)




Even with a 40% increase, Porter will beat us in year 2 and 3 (all else being equal).

About 12 resignations on this bid alone... I'd have to go back, but I think that's the most I've seen maybe ever... There used to almost never be a resignation, in the last couple years it has been increasing. More on every bid.

I count 14 resignations. Hmmm...

That....is brutal.

Air Canada is $65.03/hr.

$65.03 * 75 = 4,877.25/month or $58,527/year.

Is this for the mainline? Lower than Jazz MMG 82.5, 5364.975/mth or 64380/yr?

I mean Mainline.

6 days til it goes offline. So every time you want to chk weather you will have to log in pain in.

Yes.

$52.51 * 75 hours per month + $850 (MOA4) = $4788.25

$57459 per year. Estimated take home around $40,000 /year.

I had a 2 Crew restriction years ago.

I wasn't applying for jobs at the time, but it wasn't an issue for me. I was already flying 705 machines though.

I don't have the restriction anymore, so keep the faith. It can come off.

I remember applying to Calm Air back in 2011. Hawker. ATR. SAAB…. YTH. YYQ. YWG… I didn’t care. 3000 hrs, ATPL, multi turbine PIC, worked for another EIC company….. crickets :lol: The only company I ever applied to and didn’t hear a response. Must of been something I said. Sorry to side track the co...

Here we are. A pivotal moment is before the Jazz pilots to send a strong and decisive message, not only to Management, but to your industry peers. Ultimately we’re all in this together. The outcome of this vote WILL be used to open upcoming negotiations across the industry. Don’t think for a second ...

I'm trying to sell my townhouse in Leduc. If anyone knows commuters or newly based YEG pilots (especially after the recent WJ bid), please share. I'd like to sell it, but if anyone is also looking to rent... I'd consider it. 8 minutes from the airport. https://www.realtor.ca/real-estate/25738480/183...

This thread has averaged 518 views a day since its inception, currently exceeding The Air Canada OTS thread average of 231.

There's a lot of interest in ongoing negotiations.

Unfortunately, this interest in negotiations doesn't mean diddly squat.

In the recent First Quarter Employee townhall, Mr Rousseau said two things that caught my ear: “Problems with jazz that will be resolved soon” and “I won't go into details about Jazz“ All indications seem to suggest AC Senior Management is either playing a good game of poker or truly not worried abo...

I take it nothing tangible has really transpired (other than dialog between the four parties) since this thread was created 7 months ago?

Pretty slow moving.

I hope the Calm Air pilots ratified gains that reflect the prosperity of the EIF, as they just posted record 1st quarter results. https://finance.yahoo.com/news/exchange-income-corporation-posts-best-215000657.html As a long-term investor of EIF, it's always a delicate balance for me. I for one woul...

The silence and lack of details around what was voted on is not reassuring. Huge opportunity missed for the pilot industry. I just picture Manager John Schneider looking at the lineup in the dugout. Flair. Porter. Sunwing. Calm Air. Keewatin. Pasco. AirSprint. All walked up and batted. Hit singles a...

Everyone in my class was hired less than a year ago and many are already fed up. Anyone else sick of surviving on canned soup? I am curious Yolked, maybe tell the audience what your major complaint is? Not a Triple 7 Captain yet? News Flash - only a short time ago it was a couple years "ramping" in...

Rudder I agree with a lot of what you have to say in the majority of your posts, but I’m not sure I can get there on this one.

I’m also a big rudder fan.

I too am having trouble getting behind him on this particular thought.

I was hired in 2019 and laid off in 2020. I'm on LOA till Q3 2023. When I return, I will still be on first-year pay even though I was employed for 13 months before the furlough. :lol: Continued to pay employer and employee pensions, so I'll be at the 4th-year scale for pension contributions. I've mo...

I tore my ACL back in 2006. I didn't get surgery until Christmas 2014 (too busy flying). I was off for a couple months while it healed, but was back in the cockpit shortly after. It wasn't a big deal. Just know your limits. I was flying a 737 at the time so it wasn't a very physical job. I do rememb...

2. The company may try to argue that a lump sum payment is not a change of total compensation, but the fact that EVERY pilot will be receiving extra money on their pay cheques from an MOA talking specifically about compensation, an arbitrator would have to do some mental gymnastics to conclude that...

Given I am willing to go anywhere in Canada and that I am willing to go on a road trip to knock on some operator's doors, will I be able to find a first flying job eventually with effort?

6/10

I failed one 8 years ago. Flew at WJ and AC since then.

Excellent opportunity to explain what you learned. You learned something, right?
