If elected, Carney is aiming to put new taxes on flying :

Commuting is already expensive with all those airport fees.

Any thoughts on this?

World Class Airline Pilots shouldn't: - be paid 50% to deadhead - have starting pay less than Flair - have 4 years of flat pay - be the only pilot group without a proper bonus plan - be giving up scope concessions - have the worst average daily guarantee of any legacy airline, and you get that in 2...

If they accept this deal it’s gonna be a sad day for Canadian aviation

On top of that, those 12y+ captains have the best schedules in the company!!

Is it all you can drink? Or only 1?

Hello,
About two months ago the taxes for a jumpseat ticket with AC went down. Now it's more than it's used to be...

Anybody have an explanation?

Few weeks ago I talked with a 787 captain with 30+ years of seniority. He was flying an average of 18 days per month.

Told me the schedule was better a few years back with the flights to China..!

On average, you fly more at EK or AC?

Anything above 15 days per month is too much.

If my memory is good the AIF in KMIA is only 1$!!

With ever inceasing airport fees it's hard to believe canadian airlines will stay competitive for the `international connecting passengers`

Hello,

With the merger do you think all the actual bases of Sunwing will stay open?

It's simple, offer and demand. You can search on google if you don't know the concept.

At "mainline carriers" you fly more than 9 days per month.. Unless you're on top of seniority list. They also have a 25 year payscale, increasing less than 1-2% per year. But people still apply, cause realistically it's marginally better than the regionals. It’s exactly like a regional. Below averag...

Slavery?

Are you flying less days at WJ than AC?

If you're a widebody captain on WB at AC or WJ can you afford a house in YYZ or YVR?

You really think we can compete with other countries for transit passengers when AIF's are doubling every 2 years?

Carbon tax is coming, sooner or later we're gonna pay a lot more taxes on tickets..

Do you know your schedule before the start of the next block at TS?

A lot. When random people ask me how often I travel they think i'm multi millionaire
Priceless.

12 GDOs and Golden ones, does that mean they can move your GDOs if they are not golden?

Also do you bid your GDOs and flights by seniority with the company or by type/position seniority?

Thanks

Hi,

How many days off do you get usually on the embraer per bloc or month?

thanks

hello,
My friend just started with AC and told me reserve is very senior. Is it true? Doesn't make sense to me

Otherwise how long usually before you hold a block on WB?

thanks

Supply and demand.

AC could offer 10K flat pay and still fill all the seats. This is the problem.

A shortage?

I wonder why..!

You pay 100k to get your licences and after a few years of eating sh** you will finaly land an airline job in YYZ at 40k/year.

I heard a lot of ads from AC/TS/SW on the radio lately, are the bookings down?
