Apparently Cargojet just increased their payscale and have taken top spot in the industry for base salary. At the other end of the spectrum , TC’s contract is still expired and remains in a pre-COVID era for pay having a solid lock on last place !

Watch the AOG’s and MEL’s pile up if the government mandates no work stoppage ! Westjet has a problem that needs to be fixed , getting the gov involved will only make it worse !

The company has said , the TA that got voted down would have made Westjet AME’s the best paid in the country, is this true ? If it’s true how can money still be an issue ?

Top ACA is 46$ and change , plus 10% ACA premium , plus 20% savings plan , when you add it all up it equals 60$ an hour , which management says is more than anyone else therefore no significant raise is justified .

Any updates ? Has the deadline not passed the company set to have something done by ? Are negotiations still continuing ?

So management is saying maintenance is already overpaid per industry standard, and maintenance wants 20% minimum increase because the pilots won with there contract. Where does this end ? Will there be a work stoppage with Westjet maintenance ?

Word on the street is 20% , you heard it here first !

Much coming for the tech ops team ? Seems the WJ payscale is lagging behind by 5-7$/HR.

With all the Q’s heading out west, is it just a matter of time before the YHZ hanger is shut down and the operation is moved out west as well ?

Topping out just over 50$ for AME - ACA

Seen both Cargojet and Porter have both increased there pay scales by a large margin. Is it time for the major players to pay up finally ?!?!

Official announcement coming Nov 1st ! Big news for YOW !

Anyone know if there’s any truth to the rumour that Porter is about to break ground on a new hanger at the Ottawa airport ?

Outlook is bleak!!!! If you have stable employment now , stay there !! Serious damage being done to the industry in Canada , will take years to recover from!!! Besides from my over 20 years experience in 3 different provinces, most immigrants hate Canada and think very little of working with Canadia...

Swoop doing work for Sunwing ? Is this step one in the exit for Swoop ???

Anyone know what Keewatin AME payscale is like ?

Everyone seems to think that companies can just “switch” to the neos... its not like buying a car where airbus has 1000 neos sitting on the lot in case someone wants to buy a few Not switch , but maybe start a shift towards Airbus , say the MAX isn’t flying this time next year you think perhaps ONE...

How long will ONEX give Boeing to get the MAX in the air before they make the switch to NEO ?? I’m sure AC is kicking themselves for going With Boeing !!!

Anyone here think ONEX will sell off ENCORE / SWOOP ? And if only one of them were to sell which one ???

Anyone have an experience working in YOW with TC as a an Engineer?? See they are hiring , good money ? Shifts ? Traveling? Any info would be great!

Team America in YYC , agreed !! Definitely the biggest problem in Tech Ops !!

At least 25 just it Toronto this year , not including Encore which is more . Is the main issue frozen salaries???

Anyone know of 737 200-500 endorsement courses coming up, or where to look ??

Very true , a lot of the work done out of these third world shops is garbage , do you think a bean counter cares ? All that matters is numbers , if on paper doing these checks in the third world , where most of the people actually doing work on the plane cannot read a maintenance manual, saves money...

Agreed !!! And how long is it till our heavy maint goes third world ? This has to be the biggest cost savings ! Have the SMV's done in Central America , compared to here , this has to be the biggest most obvious way to save big $$$$$ , stock price up !!!!!!!!!
