I'm a laid off guy, just wondering what's happening with the sick bank program? As 120hrs is the max, are guys planning to use some of those hours prior to the New Year, or just prefer to forfeit them? I can tell you, my unused sick hours are useless to me right now. I can't use them, and I didn't ...

I assume you don't work for Swoop or Rouge? Didn't see a mass protest just a press release as quoted in my post. Asked a simple question :goodman: Nope. By choice. I think there was a protest today at a bunch of airport. No idea how well attended it was or if anyone even saw them since the airports...

Airlines do this all the time, it’s nothing new

When does the new guy start?

Or girl!

Seems to be happening to new engines only. These engines are built to such tight tolerances that anything slightly out can cause an issue. Once the engines seem to get some time on them and “loosen up” they seem ok. It’s a combination software and hardware fix. Word is maybe the fix will be approve...

Has there ever been a confirmed case of Covid-19 transmission in an aircraft? Yes, I know of 3 FAs that got from 4th FA on board. On board ? Not in the Dunkin Donuts lineup, in the parking lot bus, in the crew room or while waiting for the aircraft at the gate ? Yup, on board the aircraft. My wife ...

Pitiful. This government is a real shame; hopefully Canada will get real leaders one day... Yah, lets get that conservative party back in power, you know, the ones that took away the right to strike for Air Canada pilots, remember them ???? Or what’s worse, a liberal government that forced a takeov...

The government told people not to travel, effectively forcing airlines temporarily out of business. When the airlines asked the gov for help they got nothing...(crickets) Shutting down a bunch of regional routes is just sending a message. Help us or there will be more to come. Uh no, most of these ...

AC has never been forced to fly these routes! After the CP takeover they were not allowed to cut routes for 2 years, that was the only restriction

I know I have posted already about this in the Sky Regional Forum, however management at Sky has not provided a clear answer as to why. With Air Canada I could not find anywhere online why they ended the CEWS either? I was therefore looking to see from everyone’s background and industry experience ...

Recall rights are 120 months For a layoff yes, not sure what that has to do with a discussion about LOAs. Ummm, Blue42, you're the only one here talking about LOA. The Thread title is "Layoff Mitigation Agreement" and the news article was about AC laying off it's employees and taking them...

For a layoff yes, not sure what that has to do with a discussion about LOAs.

Unless it is stated in a labour agreement, than it is 12 months. Pilots are protected as your CBA states 120 months. My understanding for this is the law, right now, states that anyone on a LOA for 6 months is then required to be paid a severance from the company. Asking for a let on this is to all...

I believe only the first 3 B787s were sold to and then leased ba k from BBAM

It's the CBC reporting so have a shot of tequila and then some salt. It looks at first glance like ONEX is trying to skirt the law. If so, Westjetters, move to stop this before it impacts other companies. A precedent is all that is required for the others. https://www.cbc.ca/news/business/westjet-e...

Has anybody seen reliable reports of passengers or crews getting COVID 19 on airplanes? I mean from mainstream media or at least not from conspiracy websites? I have seen lots of cases of sick passengers traveling and I guess in those cases the other passengers were contacted and monitored but I ha...

Meanwhile, watch the market opens on Monday morning, I won't be surprised to see AC stock plummets another 50%.

Funny, AC was up over 14%! Good call.

I think that there is no agreement that would ever please everyone, but this agreement smells of bias to some. I’m on the fence. According to a text message floating around, there are 15 people who are members of the Negotiating Committee, the MEC, or the LEC’s. Of these 15 people, 11 were slated f...
