Yes very true, we dont need an ACPA 2.0. My great big idea was only paying us based on our yos at jazz. i.e 2 years at jazz, you go to year 3 on the AC payscale but bottom of the list for everything else. Its useless to dream up these ideas though, as someone said above we got f*cked over, gotta fin...

At the very least.... I would like to be paid for my time flying AC passengers, in AC an uniform, in an airplane that has AC written on the side of it...paid based on your doh at Jazz would help me feel like this wasn't the biggest career mistake ever.

lot of variables based your seniority, position, type and base rn..Junior Captain in yvr averaging 12(min guarantee) to 14 days off so far in 2024. i commute so i bid for afternoon starts and to stack as much of my flying together to try to get larger breaks off at home. I will say it is great to ha...

Anyone hear of ppl getting calls recently? lots of Jazz folks through the interview now, odd they wouldn't fill those empty classes up...

I know AC doesn’t care about jazz and probably sees us as a hot mess but I’m hopeful we will get something for this. You have to go back to the root of the issue. Air Canada did not choose to ignore Jazz pilots and fill new hire classes with “outsiders” … Jazz could not release them. It’s my opinio...

Dozens have left Jazz for other airlines, then successfully come to AC as OTS. This is a lie and they are incapable of exacting such petty revenge in the current market. Vacate Jazz immediately. Don't you think someone has a wee little black book somewhere? Help your fellow pilots out, reach out to...

I wish that, I knew what I know now, when I was younger. You ain’t alone in feelin that way partner!

This would be a dream come true for a great many commuters.

I guess my intentions with the initial post were vague and to be honest I don’t have a great many ideas of how we can start working together, only that I hope we find some. I hope to one day leave this industry better then when I found it, a big grand gesture I know… My opinion, for what it’s worth...

Perimeter. Better pay, working conditions, union, progression the list goes on. Probably less pressure from the CP or the owner to do sketchy shit at perimeter too.

No time like the present

Before I get blasted out of the sky with this hot take, maybe let’s take a moment to think about how both AC mainline pilots and Jazz pilots share a common “enemy”. Both groups are dealing with the same bean counters that refuse to recognize that the times have changed. Yes, we are different compani...

lol there better be.. how much longer do we accept a MEC that isn’t producing result during the one of the greatest periods of pilot leverage this industry has ever seen. Can't force the company to pay more. But obviously things aren't working so great for them either. We will get 1 of 3 updates. E...

Maybe there is a good reason for that. lol there better be.. how much longer do we accept a MEC that isn’t producing result during the one of the greatest periods of pilot leverage this industry has ever seen. You are pointing your anger at the wrong target. Who writes our paycheques, hires our pil...

Honestly though, where the hell is the union?! Over a month since the last communication that negotiations have resumed. How about a status update to the membership you’ve been elected to represent.

Who said that? Seems unrealistic since they went from 20 per GS to 10 per GS Jazz pilots lately.

40 a month from September to December being scheduled rn. No word on plans for the start of the new year.

Apprently AC is in the process of giving 120 Jazz pilots a gs date starting in September. Seems like a bit of a last ditch effort to keep people on property... but it won't stop those leaving for WJ as they never planned on going to AC. YYC domiciled pilots will depart for WJ. Younger YVR pilots pr...
