Every aspect of Air Canada and all unions...yes, all unions have had to give to make the company a going concern going forward. It's straight up competition and thats how the business wor...

Re: Air Canada outsourcing US Regional

So, Air Canada should pay more for pilots and pay the (Canadian) regionals more and then what? Bankrupty again?......Stay focused on the big picture of what Air Canada wants to do....just read the Investor day presentation, look at what's happened in Europe, US airline markets.

Re: ACPA Implodes !

Keep in mind the pilot keeps going up from there. The lead stops at that point. $26.06 isn't that unreasonable for an experienced lead. Not to mention they aren't doing Tim Hortons level simple jobs.
