Seems strange that they are offering 787 fo spots.. what’s the reasoning behind that as im sure those would get snapped up in a bid

Is there any rule to have more LEC reps at our bases, something that proportionally reflects its members.

Something similar to, I dunno, our legislative system.

I tend to agree with what thepoors posts. His comments seem pretty logical to me. Hopefully he is part of the union in some regard, because he seems like he’d be a great asset. He’s right, Winnipeg base needs to be addressed. Another thing to consider as well, cost of living varies drastically betwe...

Any idea what the schedules are like at emirates/fly dubai?

Is it a rotational type gig or is it similar to the airlines in canada?

Giving up profit sharing for pay raises is an improvement I’d agree. It’s just shifting money around imo, and I would argue it’s just contract restructuring vs anything close to a wcc or 2.1 billion on contract gains or however they worded it. If our biggest win was pay, we got bamboozled. Hard to d...

This would be a great feature for other AC documents like the FOM, FAM, AOM, etc. Heck, integrate it into aeronet as well.

My previous post wasn’t meant to be disrespectful, sorry if it came across that way.

I was just curious since you aren’t unionized, could things like training costs and perhaps YOS from a different carrier be negotiated prior to being hired.

Any way of getting out of paying for your own accommodations for training since you guys aren’t unionized yet?

What’s the eta on new hires to get YVR base?

Any news on Alberta bases?

Any improvements with your latest contract?

Cheers

Heard they are going to start focusing on ops related apps vs customer apps

New wide bodies from Boeing and airbus are +5 years away, whatever they decide to choose

AC lounges getting upgrades

737 transitioning to rouge Q4

Just what I heard..

Just over 253 vacancies for the next 365 days.

So 21 new hires per month

I’d say the ACTUAL projections have things being slow for the next year.

This unicorn monster bid could change that, but that’s just speculation and apparent plane delivery issues.

No idea what upgrade times are currently.

Yeah WJ does seem like a no brainer outside of Yvr/Yyz.

Even more so if quick upgrades are a thing of the past

Fingers crossed on the Moab 🥕

WJ kept both… not sure why this concept is defended of taking the guaranteed money in improved pay-scales….

Would you still work at AC?

Any leads on the new uniforms coming out?

[quote=30westpirate post_id=1329262 time=1735750858 user_id=107088] Instant gratification, that’s what some of the new hires are looking for. Great schedule, great pay from the onset. I’ve yet to meet anyone that has put in 5-10 years and are regretting they came to AC. [/quote] And every pilot I’ve...

Hey,

Just wondering if anyone in here has left AC prior to retirement?

Whered you end up?

Why’d you leave?

Any regrets?

WJ contract > AC contract

After the sunwing merger through most of 2025, whats next on the horizon for WJ? 42 max 10’s on order… are the 700’s getting retired? When does your current contract expire? When can you expect a new deal? Hard to expect much more gains when you can’t really leap frog off ac with their current deal....

Im curious how much of the AC salaries go to whom in the payscales. For example, if 30 percent of the pilots are on flat pay does that account for 15 percent of total pilot wages? How much more from that 1.9 billion would it have cost the company to put everyone on formula pay? Double? Was it ever r...

Does it cost Canada Post that much to go on strike? Similar to other government jobs like teachers, nurses, etc. The main expense would be labour I’d assume? With AC, there is a lot more hemorrhaging going on if a strike did occur, no? Hence, making a strike a lot more effective as the employer has ...

Flying two days a week, with stats and weekends off?

What kind of vacation is offered?

Any flight benefits?

Any health benefits?

How long for an upgrade these days?

Sounds pretty slick

Good to hear you’re happy! Thabks for sharing
