Re: BA Strike, Canada pay attention
Nah we don't learn. ACPA voted to allow unlimited narrowbody growth at B-scale wages during last reopener when the company is making record profits.

Re: Who will bid the A220?
Domestic early starts we always get a breakfast, and as I said, if I want one, I can always get a meal or snack... but I prefer getting paid vs. the old system of not being paid when flying through meal times. +1 Give me the per diems anytime over meals so I can buy quality meals or groceries to pa...

Re: AC/TS merger ??
If AC does end up buying TS, I don’t think there will be a liquidity issue for the airline. You will be fine

Re: When do you think the 737 MAX will return to operation at Air Canada?

CEO is responsible to the shareholder. Given the share earnings/revenue growth and keeping CASM under control, he deserves it. As for pilots, it's up to the themselves *cough ACPA cough* to also get the compensation they deserve. But hey, during the last reopener, we voted to allow the expansion of ...

Re: Question for YYZ gate staff: can one change YTZ-YUL flight to YYZ-YUL at gate?

Who ever says they’ll be out of cash soon is misinformed.
I was off by a few months.
