Another profitable year for the airlines!

Great to see the profit share cheques but have to ask, what will Air Canada pilots get with the profitability of the company?

Delta is issuing $1.4 billion!!

Profit share was always a joke, I'm glad its gone. I'd much rather have higher salary that means guaranteed pay within my control, vs. something based on numbers that the company can fudge.

Why not have both?? You guys and girls are professionals don't sell yourselves short.

Because both wasn't on the table thanks to the useless union folding like a cheap lawn chair at the 11th hour. It was one or the other apparently, and I'd rather have the pay. What is it you people don't understand?

The "logic" was that the profit share was an unknown certainty and the guaranteed pay raises accounted for the occasional profit share.

I’m for it. Pay me today on a negotiated scale rather than maybe a bonus once a year based on conditions someone else controls.

I wanted both. The EBITDAR floor is basically unattainable. I’ve got zero incentive for the company’s OTP and efficiency. They could’ve incentivized the pilots instead the efficiencies are going out the tailpipe.

Yep this guy gets it. Nobody cares about the profitability of this place aside from the C suite. Why should we?

We don’t see anyone single engine taxi

Or rushing to make an on time departure..

They made us not care. I honestly wish we were not pushed this way but that’s the way management wants it now

Yeah, another example of lost "motivation" is how I used to hang out in the FD until the snail paced rampies would plug in electric. Not anymore. After the parking checklist, a quick call to STOC to notify APU is still running and ME GONE. Not uncommon to get to a plane that has had its APU running for 2 or 3 hours. If they don't care, why should I? At least cabin temperature control has been better lately.
