Re: Red eyes
Oh god when I was there, I did a YOW-YVR-YOW red eye turn and it was a line indoc pairing (poor guy). It left YOW around 8pm arriving at 10pm, then did the return to YOW arriving at 630am. I did it on OT but swore I'd never do that again

Re: Jazz AC FLOW
I wouldn't base my career choice on AC respecting it's flow agreement . Also the JZA reps made it clear it's a fight they want to take and AC made it clear they don't care about this contract clause. Couldn't agree more. I would be planning my path to AC by going somewhere I'd be happy to hang my h...

Re: Jazz AC FLOW
I am not sure those numbers are accurate. You do not hire 600 pilots for the 120 vacancies identified in the latest bid (projected 12 months in to the future). Peak block hours are the summer months so most projected staffing is for June-September schedule factoring in DBM maximums. I haven’t seen ...

Re: Jazz AC FLOW
I don't know the details of the PML/flow specifically, but in practice, ground schools at AC are filled by Jazz pilots Between I believe September and January. This year the projection of new hires is 450-600. About 20 every class with roughly 2 classes a month with the exception of maybe the summer...

I remember a time when the DEC's who parachuted in and took upgrades away from FO's wanted separate seniority lists so that when the FO's did upgrade, they'd maintain their seniority over them.

Re: Flair Pilots Better Starting & Top End Pay Now?!
Definitely good for everyone. Question is...are AC Pilots pulling their weight as the largest pilot group? And being a legacy carrier? Or do they need to rely on broke ass carriers to do the heavy lifting? We should be concerned that a ULCC is setting the bar, not the flag carrier AC. As mentioned ...

Re: Flair Pilots Better Starting & Top End Pay Now?!
I am happy for the Flair guys! As they should get a raise. In fact I wish they got more! I truly don't mind that a newly minted Flair FO gets paid more now because it just raises the bar for all, even though it should have been us 2 years ago. AC negots start in Sept with a CA expiration of Sept 202...

Stock price soaring
Any ideas as to what's boosting AC.TO? I see we reset our 52 week high. I've heard speculation that the market seems to know who the next CEO is going to be but I can't find anything on google. Oil, war, labor stability with the majority of contracts under TA's, all of the above?

Re: Interview -> Medical -> Job Offer Wait Times
I have heard of several different timelines for the interview to medical to job offer wait times. To those who have recently been hired (or rejected), what was the wait time between the different stages of your hiring process? There really isn't any rhyme or reason as to the variable wait times. So...

TC owns this not AC. There is a presumption that a government document that is presented is valid and correct. Therefore I don't think that it is reasonable that AC should be held accountable for accepting a document that the presented fraudulently altered. What should never have happened is that i...

Probably flat bid. The April bid was cancelled because they wanted to cut and reduce, but someone had some sense apparently and kicked the cab to June at least... No direction or leadership...

It takes at least a year to get to YVR, bottom of the 220 list. 2-3 years to get bottom of either the 777 or 787 RP in Vancouver.
