The lack of movement and growth in this bid is purely due to negots.

4-5 years for a Q upgrade? Somehow I doubt that…

Re: Should I go to Jazz?

I’m sorry, but not really, show us how you are currently paid better than AC pilots for the first 5 years. Usually when I make a claim, which I’ve seen you make a couple times, I back it up with actual facts, not hearsay! Turns out that I was close, but wrong. Encore pilots are paid more until year...

Recent ex 330 RP. I loved it. Crews were great, layovers are all great. Just try and avoid the Bogota for the lousy credit.

Wild guess, but sounds pretty similar to an operation out of The Pas that goes by MA?

Re: Negotiations

If the new F/O wages at Westjet are even close to true, I suspect our YYC base will be left in shambles. Might even see some leave AC. Again, of true, it destorys ACs 4 year flat pay concept. People will still be filling AC classes, I don't expect flat pay to change much while that's still happenin...

Re: Zone 5 for boarding on POS DH

Yes absolutly this is an issue and it should, and I hear it is, on the table if bargaining ever starts again. The issue is not just low zone number. But we should really get business class travel for deadheads. In addition our standby seniority will hopefully improve. Business standby passes would ...

Re: The Air Canada OTS thread

If one got a call offering a GS spot what would the reaction be if the applicant asked to postpone the offer and ask to sit in one a few classes/couple months later? I assume they would say ok but would they really just bypass you indefinitely or permanently? Recently heard you can defer up to a ye...

Re: How long until you hear back from AC?

If you’re not bearing back after 3 weeks from the interview date, just know that they have placed you in a pool of low hours or low competitiveness. They’re getting back to people with lots of hours, command, teaching, degree…etc way faster than those who are at or slightly above the minimum requir...
