Re: Are the working conditions / is the pay that bad at air canada

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..!

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..

Re: E2 days off

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

Reserve on WB

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

Re: CBC - A shortage of pilots is making travel chaos in Canada even worse
