Gonna keep reposting regardless of the level of Carney online censorship... those of you COVIDIOTS shouldn't be allowed to touch an airplane. Our Medical (un)professionals are being exposed as we speak for hiding the fact that those shots were deemed a medical risk and that the idiotic measures did...

“Every month” aka 2 months in 2 years. Flame away. Can’t wait to see some of you gems on the ballot next month. ... I don’t blame him for picking up a trip each month to get more comfortable in the seat ... "A trip each month" aka 5 trips in June comparing his Globe with his block release and 3 tri...

You also do not need to pick up VO every month to "get comfortable" in your seat.

VO at this company is a borderline scam unless you know you're going to be above 900 hours for the whole year. Not worth it for many people unless they fix the MMG issue next contract.

Oh god when I was there, I did a YOW-YVR-YOW red eye turn and it was a line indoc pairing (poor guy). It left YOW around 8pm arriving at 10pm, then did the return to YOW arriving at 630am. I did it on OT but swore I'd never do that again :lol: Still much better than Jazz's shit continous duty where...

The problem is that the wage is not commensurate with the job requirements. AC is not hiring 18 year olds with no living expenses. A lot of qualified people are not interested in starting over in their careers regarding pay and qol. For all the "Well then dont apply" people. Ok AC will just run out...

The Feb bid reflected 787 staffing for the current airplanes plus two 787-10s arriving this summer. Any additional positions will require more airplanes to show up. That being said, it’s possible some options might be exercised or cancelled orders reopened due to the A321XLR performance issues requi...

Lol... yeah... no one with a number and pension at AC or any mainline is leaving for Jazz, thanks.

Is it a safe bet to assume hiring might slow down a little during this whole fuel "situation" ? I was just in the training building and heard 480 new hires is the target for this year with classes every 2 weeks, so for now it seems like full steam ahead. But yes, hiring would obviously be the first...

You probably have nothing to worry about if you want 737 FO in YYZ as that’s still one of the more junior positions systemwide today. Lots of vacancies left in it as well on the last bid. If you can’t get it in PIT you can try to draw a position at a different base (YUL) if there’s any available and...

Delta, UAL etc didn't take 16 years to get where they are. They have had massive gains from 2018-2019 onwards, and in two bargaining cycles saw essentially a 100% increase in pay. This is cycle number 2 for us, so when we dont get anywhere close this time around what will the excuses be this time? ...

A much bigger problem to solve than pure dollar amounts/percentage increases is our entire formula pay scheme down to its roots. Currently our only pay scale that is remotely close to a US equivalent (within ~5%) is the 777 CA scale. Which is good in that sense, but when those airplanes retire and t...

... They make a good point, why can't YYZ/YUL/YVR be the same hubs FRA/AMS/LHR/CDG are? ... Cause the latter airports can actually half function to handle the traffic volume they get. Waiting 30-60+ minutes for a gate or "flow time" is near unheard of in LHR, maybe a 10 minute hold on arrival is th...

Rule of thumb at AC is don't choose an airplane because "it flies to xyz city" as that changes all the time, both on the NB and WB side of things. WB, currently the A330 and 777 are the unproductive eastern transatlantic machines, and the 787 seems to be the airplane to be on especially in YVR. Howe...

We're still running 2 classes per month of 25 each AFAIK. Bid 25-05 also doesn't account for the latest 25 pilots that started on September 24. This suggests that all vacancies will be on property by the end of this month - personally I'm not convinced nor worried, there's likely something either go...

Thanks. That still should have/should be fixed on its own, any raise the XLR brings should be above and beyond that. Plus based on the weight difference I wouldn't expect the XLRs to bring a 5% raise - for a 320 CA a 5% raise would be $15-20 an hour. I've been hearing the XLRs will increase the CA r...

Twa22, All great questions. I chose the 737 because it is one of the cleanest aircraft to use without dealing with type differences, variant difference or targeted pay reductions. First off you can't compare 747 with a 777. We are still paid by formula pay. Look in the appendix of our contract to s...

Keep in mind if you're hell bent on building tax free savings and are willing to move abroad to do so, you don't even have to quit AC, just commute from somewhere with lower tax rates and bid WB flying that spends little time in Canadian airspace (YVR-Asia, YYZ-South America etc) so you can spend le...

Give them a break. The situation they are in is awful. Being left wondering about how your life is going to turn out, for months on end, can make you feel sick to your stomach. nobody-wants-to-work-anymore-v0-642ms80t3hlf1.jpeg That doesn't give you a free pass ignore common sense. When coming on t...

The other elephant in the room here that may be worth mentioning is the (current) uncertain long term future of Encore. Someone in this thread did mention getting rid of the Q's, which is a valid point as some of them will surpass 20 years in service in the next 10 years. Will there be a fleet renew...

I think we should go for delay pay not ground pay. Otherwise we are opening a can of worms. I can see the company trying to clawback bunk time as non-work time for example. "Delay pay" was one of the items in the 2023 opener (whether that's relevant now or not) and obviously nothing came of it, cur...

- “Ground and Cabin Security Premium”
- Narrow body: 60 minutes at 50% salary
- Wide body at 70 minutes same percentage

Is this per leg, or per duty day?

What is DOT?

What does it stand for?

Duty Overtime

we need 5:30 in the next contract and we need full paid DHs. Watch the DHing and unpaid sits evaporate. We need better rigs on THG and DPG too. Maybe 3.5:1 and 1.75:1 or duty -4hrs, FAs have it, should be an easy achievement. And get rid of DPG and replace it with CDG - calendar day guarantee - lik...

From Google's AI bot: Yes, the Canada Industrial Relations Board (CIRB) can modify seniority lists, but typically only under specific circumstances. The CIRB's power to alter seniority lists is generally limited to situations where it is exercising its review powers, such as in cases of reconsiderat...
