Simple answer is because the CARS allow it.

A more accurate answer would be because the CAR’s AND the ACPA CBA allow it.

Even if they did it would be open to the entire group, no guarantee the existing residences would be senior enough to hold it.

I don't think so. Even if the ACPPA didn't exist, AC would maintain pilot bases in YYZ, YVR and YUL. YWG would most definately go, but the rest would stay.

Name me a major airline running 3+ hubs that only has 1 pilot base.

In a related bit of news United just opened à base in Orlando and Las Vegas.

If it didn't happen before it's never going to happen now.

Thanks to the acclimatization requirements in the new CAR Flight & Duty times a Western based pilot is almost useless once they get east of YWG for overnights, especially mornings. Must easier to move YYZ pilots out west to cover

This is the big issue for any carriers that do east west with overnights. 100% true

Unless you're interwoven as the YWG chair.

Really good point that I had not thought of at all!
