I doubt that the TA details nor the debate can be bottled up. But that is up to the ACPA pilots.

Good luck.

Sounds like a great deal for AC pilots. Guys with a career there sure have a bright future. Thanks Rudder for posting detailed information.

Highlights of the New Agreement
• EMJ stays at Mainline
• CPA still limited at 76-seat jets

That can't be good for Jazz..

$10k signing bonus? Why? I must be missing something here...

$10,000 x 3000 pilots = $30,000,000 (that's $30 million???? unless my calculator is on the frit$$)

Take it, run, hide don't tell anybody

to compensate for the pilots they'll lay off soon ?
just trolling... sorry.

Layoffs? Hardly.

900 hour pay annual guarantee for 2014/2015/2016.

While this has the appearance of a lopsided deal, I highly doubt that Calin suddenly decided to empty the vault without getting value in return.

Keep watching, the show is just beginning.

I for sure will believe that CR knows what he's doing. And I wish all the best to AC pilots, truly.
question is why such a deal all of a sudden ?

I'm also genuinely curious to know what is about to begin

So every current pilot gets 10k in December? Would a new hire get this as well? Just don't understand it.

Rudder, thanks for posting.

Well done AC pilots. I am curious why the company wanted to open the agreement and why it is all of a sudden so generous.

The company gets a stable workforce for 10 years and can get better financing on jets. From what I'm told.

- pilot labour stability
- pilot cost certainty and partial avoidance of compounding by paying lump sums
- template for pattern bargaining with other AC unions
- ability to substitute aircraft at Rouge
- ability to implement AC Express fleet plan
- ability to implement JV and codeshare plan

I'd think labour stability = $$$$ and everything else rudder said.

This is a great sign for the future of a career at Air Canada for everyone.

Don't be blinded by the signing bonus. There are some details coming to light that seem to indicate this may not be quite as good a deal as some think. Lots of questions still left to be answered.....

That should make a lot of people's ex-wives very happy!
