There's nothing abnormal about an airline having tier 2/3 regional feeders and not interviewing and hiring everyone into mainline that works at the regional. Pretty normal ops for all major airlines on this continent. Let alone conditionally hiring unlicensed wannabes with $150K to get fast tracked...

Usually you accept the tailwind to land uphill in Powell River, not downhill... Why not take the uphill, in wind runway? Something not adding up there...

Sure... haven't posted in years but started posting 3x a day just a couple weeks ago out of the blue...

So why do you have a new username?

How many usernames do you have?

What the hell did I just read? I don't know, but I deleted like 2 pages of irrelevant and nasty stuff. I wish I had followed this thread more closely from inception, but that's on me.

It's all a facade hiding nepotism, incompetence, human rights violations, slavery... just another shithole wrapped up with a bow.

What?! That's ridiculous... are they doing LOC BC and NDB approaches too?

Mind you around the time I was hired at AC I was pretty recent at that type of thing...

Well... Holds are easy... just go line by line verbally on the FMC page and verify it's on the legs page/mfd.... and put in the EFC time. FMC hold are a piece of cake...

I've noticed the people seeking lots of advanced information for a certain assessment are covering for significant knowledge gaps. Any sim eval at this level, with such a wide variety of experienced candidates coming in, needs to be generic. It's IFR basic skillsets being checked, everything else t...

It was a one time trial program... and not repeated, maybe for a reason, not standard ops.

2011 we were comparable to the Americans. 2012 we got like in government arbitration. 2014 we locked in for 10 years. This is where we were very comparable to US deals. In fact our pay was a little better and CAD/USD was at par. 2016 the first big gains in the US started. 2017, 2020, & 2021 ACPA fou...

Yeah call your reps and get the real story. Otherwise you're ignorant and perpetuating bullshit rumours like school girls. That's what it is more and more from what I'm seeing. Rumours being tossed around in bullshit whatsapp groups and people that feeding off it that don't have a clue because they...

AC Pilots have zero say on hiring or interviewing at Air Canada. All we have a say on is the seniority list and the deal is to get hired and get a number with your group.

No such thing as an "AC career" - at least for most... it's the totality of it.

Jazz to AC career is a pretty fricking easy career. In the scope of career paths in this country there isn't much "tough" in there.

I haven't heard that. Accosted? Seems like there's a story here. Either way, it's one person, one event, and three stories. I still stand by my statement: I don't have a problem with drinks at Union events, who cares? Have a few, fraternize with your colleagues, blow off some steam and get to know y...

A few guys bitching and they haven't even called their reps with their questions... let alone showed up at a meeting. Or are we dwelling on the past here? It's all pretty vague innuendo about a conspiracy against the membership. What's your problem exactly? Be specific. There are always problems tho...

Canadian pilots REALLY dont' understand what soft pay is. Soft pay is not "working your bag off" it's things like draft drop, reroute pay etc. Delta green slips and payback days (look it up you'll cry). These guys pulling 400k USD as NB FOs aren't working their bag off. The guys working their bag o...

Lies, Damned lies, Accounting...

All lies and hidden money anyway...

In the past the Association has tasked a working group to audit the numbers and verify actual payouts accurately. They didn't just flip EBITDAR for EBITDA...

Have you written your rep and asked what they do?

Recall 8% of salary cap at max payout wouldn't be near 30K payout for anyone.

I do see management guidance pointing at 20% EBITDA target in the next few years which would trigger payout under the raised threshold.
