Re: It is imminent.......be ready.
I get it 100%. But literal translations of comments made by clearly frustrated individuals is just silly. Management makes "similar dramatic comments" that no one takes too seriously. No, I don't think its literal. However I am not HR of a multi billion dollar company that takes their public image ...

Re: YUL flight cancelled because pax asked for a blanket
Any internal acknowledgment of this incident at AC? Hopefully she has been suspended/fired by now. Suspended? Fired? Are you mad? There is clearly more to the story. Having done flights to and from Morocco I’ve had more than one occasion of unruly passengers. I will bet 100% there’s more to it than...

Re: YUL flight cancelled because pax asked for a blanket
^ What sort of d!ckhead comment is that? Air Canada has always been, pretty much, *the* destination for Canadian pilots.. Sure, but that doesn't mean every new hire is a competent pilot. I personally know multiple individuals that were turned down at WJ, TS and SW, only to be picked up by AC. Anoth...

Re: Is Air Canada just a 703 Operation with 777s?
Selfies are unmatched. Problem is I can’t post them anywhere because of the social media policy. Anyone that already works at AC knows it’s a bush operator that flys Airbus and Boeing. Crewsched has no idea and often pushes things that are very grey if not illegal. It’s only a matter of time until t...

Re: Starting Pay $215k now at AC
The funny part is they don’t even need to say it. Because anyone applying for the job already knows what the compensation is.
This is 100% just for public posturing. Company is starting to negotiate in public and expect it to get worse over the next few weeks.

Re: Starting Pay $215k now at AC
Where do I sign up? I'm a CA and don't even make $215k. My mortgage application letter from my MLO was under 200k. This is just so when you search Air Canada Pilot Salary, this pops up. This is just the first phase of the company trying to make us look bad. "Oh look you can make 200k+ within 3 years...

Re: Air Canada Pilots need tips?
Seemed like a joke to me. It doesn't matter. When you put on that uniform in front of a camera for your company, you're representing 5500+ pilots and need to be cognizant of what you say and how you say it, especially during the most important negotiations in the last 25 years. I guess you can't ex...

Re: Which sh!tty operator is advertising internationally?
Wait, you don't think the standard of living in Canada has declined in the last 15-20 years? I think it has declined. I disagree with the analysis that this has been significantly influenced by one side of the political spectrum. Europe has a variety of countries, each with a different type of gove...

The RPs out of YYZ and YUL have most of the Europe trips that operate one way and DH back (unaugmented flight one way) This caught my eye... can you explain how this works?

Complaining is one thing, but these statements are just silly. Appreciate what you have, it could be much much worse.

Re: It is imminent.......be ready.
They will not allow us to strike. That would leave assets in random locations all over the world. A logistical nightmare. They will need to wind down the operation in an orderly fashion, ensuring the aircraft are "where they want them"......not where we leave them. So, yes, they will lock us out, 1...
