For those in Alberta bidding single day pairings the whole month, how many days off are you getting?
Also, separate from single day pairings, can you be blocked for the month as low as 11-13 days per month regularly if you bid in such a manner?

Re: How will the ATPL changes affect the industry?
According to TC’s explanation, for someone upgrading “in house”, as long as everything else is in place (hours, exams), your command course PPC would meet the requirement. The unknown there is processing times to actually issue the ATPL… The real problem will be someone without the ATPL but with ev...

Re: Pay Calculator
Never mind, I rotated the screen and it shows the breakdown. Does not include per diems in net. Good.
Great job with this.

Re: How will the ATPL changes affect the industry?
I think this is where the confusion lies. You will not get a restricted ATPL for a 705 FO ride, or any FO ride. Restricted ATPL applies only to a PIC ride in a single pilot airplane. A 2 crew aircraft FO cannot meet the skill requirement, even restricted, without a captain PPC. So what happens in t...

2nd or 3rd time hearing this about the 220. Smooth course etc.crystalpizza wrote: ↑Fri Jan 02, 2026 12:03 pm
Airbus is Airbus, 737 is a 737, 777/787 are pretty much the same airplane procedurally and I've heard the 220 is an easy machine to learn. As stated above though that's all secondary over the long term.

I just read that there will be long call reserve. Absolute win. How will that be awarded? Junior-most = short call?

Numbers only…. Even if you ask for delta wages in CAD, year 1 of 125.50 cad = only 90 usd.
Hope you all get some QOL and legacy gains.

Re: Recall of MEC Chair & Vice Chair
They voted down their contract and will be commencing arbitration. We voted for ours. We sure did... Did the FAs give up their bonus?! You do realize a new hire FA gets more value out of shine points than their bonus? I’ve seen year end pay stubs of new FA’s in the 24k range that included their bon...

I have a question as an outsider, I was surprised that even though both the pilot and FA group work for the same company, there weren’t really any pilots at the strike? For all the people complaining about section 107, it was weird to see not much solidarity Even Jazz pilots attended the FA strikes...

Re: Flow timeline after new fleet orders?
Mainline is not overstaffed. If they were, pilots would have much cushier schedules, double time wouldn't be offered for overtime, and reserves wouldn't be called all the time. Was the recent bid not to balance the bases, reduction out east, followed by vacancies out west? I ask because by appearan...
