First, comparing Northern Medevac wages to regional airline wages is a fool’s errand. Wasaya ATR's regional 2025 - Wasaya starting at +$130,000 - Year 6 Encore :!: Where's Encore pilots try to exceed Wasaya? In America, airline pilots are always trying to outdo the top contract. In Canada we sit he...

Speaking from experience, the appeal of flying a big shinny jet fades quite quickly and lifestyle is the thing you start chasing! IMO, if I were in your shoes I’d be staying at Porter. AC management have made it abundantly clear that Porter is a major thorn in their side. It would NOT surprise me i...

This should be extended to Jazz pilots that joined AC in 2022 as well. Plenty of Jazz pilots interviewed at AC in late 2019/early 2020 and were in the hiring pool when COVID hit. Instead of AC re-interviewing and hiring these pilots first when hiring resumed in the spring of 2022, Jazz held onto ma...

AC Management was always very public with their appreciation of ACPA They thanked ACPA Reps at public events even thanking the Association in company memos They are now dealing with a modern day union and aren't sure what to do Little birdie told me they were rehearsing the Jerusalema dance choreog...

Gotta say...I'm really loving the DART system. Great way for the union to track issues and provide feedback to the pilot group Out of curiously...what did ACPA use?? There were some good ACPA people. But some key players were “afflicted” with “climb the ladder” syndrome. “Purge the scourge” is a by...

1 year starting from when you're line checked. Don't forget you have to interview with your managers to get off it as well.

So at least 2 yrs. Some on the union never had this probationary release interview!

Quite the dog and pony show.

ALPA doesn't do any promising, delivering or agreeing. That's what the MEC and pilots collectively do. ALPA gives you lawyers, advisors, comms people, financial analysis, etc. Pilots do the lifting. What kind of lawyers? The labour kind. That's a little pathetic for an organization that large to no...

Did ALPA Westjet get a North American standard? ALPA seems to over promise and underdeliver. (I still support them) I just hope we have the numbers to vote NO to whatever ALPA reluctantly agrees to and we actually strike this time. ALPA doesn't do any promising, delivering or agreeing. That's what ...

I’ve been struggling with understanding “why” the company agreed to this mediation piece. It seemed like things were going as per their playbook and they were getting what they wanted, but then agreed to mediation… why? The only thing I can think of is they played their hand too aggressively and to...

I got an interview with Emirates and I can't afford to live on Air Canada wages in Toronto or Vancouver Does anyone have an update on negotiations or should I assume these Air Canada managers are incompetent and out to lunch like their On Time Performance, bag tracking or ability to take care of wh...

Opener_Document_ENG.pdf Nice to see AC pilots going for 100% deadhead pay, and first class deadheads for all pilots Relief pilots, first officers and captains shouldn't be treated any different when it comes to working conditions. They are all the same crew flying an aircraft. Thumbs up on flight d...

When there are layoffs/freeze in hiring at AC in 6-8 months?

Of course, however it is not the full AIF of 35.00, this might drive AC to use the YUL hub more, keep that 7 dollars in their pocket.

The GTAA CEO needs it for her hairstylist.

Don’t base a career decision off a public forum. Lots of troll posts which may sully your perspective. Ask someone face to face, and ask several people at that point too. FACE TO FACE. Its your career. Do your homework and then ask yourself where do you see yourself in 5 or 10 years, money aside. Ai...

An important discussion. When people talk about their career advancement at AC they need to keep in mind that outside this hiring boom (which will slow before long here), the advancement doesn't happen quick when 100 people retire out of 5 or 6 thousand. Going to unfortunately be eye opening for so...

Kindly wanted to ask what is the rough number of AC pilots expected to retire annually.

Don't ask why I care... Just curious if AC hiring is MAINLY due to expansion or expected retirement.

Thanks in advance!

You sound literate. Quarterly financial reports.

So, is ALPA helping out the poor fella? All over CNN today.

Pretty clear message from our tenacious MEC Chair... WEAR YOUR WORLD CLASS CONTRACT LANYARD Shills are now easily identifiable Shills is a strong word. Does it make you nervous? Better be wearing that lanyard Ah yes, the impersonator. I guess you're the type of guy to pee on someone's leg next to a...
