She achieved far far more for AC pilots than anyone else maybe ever, and she did it in less than 2 years. ALPA, unity, pickets, and above all she raised our expectations of what we could achieve. She did but then she didn't. So we got WestJet plus 2%. An arbitrator wouldn't have given less. Minus l...

I'd rather see ALPA focus on straight salary gains going forward. I'm happier with money in the bank every month. You want ALPA focused on giving out profit sharing concessions. Apparently you don't like Delta's contract or their 10% bonus they just got. Air Canada pilots just gave up $75 million. ...

Hi all, I wanted to put something out here that I found useful for pilots. Its a tool to search information within collective agreements like AC's and it comes with a chatgtp like chatbot to answer questions. Here the link: https://airlinecontract.com/ Cheers I like how the Delta contract is in the...

Dude. You sound rather angry. Take a day off from avcanada. Go play in the snow. It’s a weekend after all Not angry at all, just asking people to back up their claims Its a fact Air Canada pilots have the worst contract of any legacy pilot group and it isn't even close. Worst part is that it wasn't...

Are 67% pilots really that happy having the worst legacy pilot contract in the industry? Honest question. Not the ones who know their worth. Delta just got their 10% bonus on top of their vastly superior pay & quality of life guarantees. They would never entertain giving up their bonus for percenta...

Only did see the profit share pay out a handful of times around here... Going into a recession now? Weak leadership and direction? I'd rather see ALPA focus on straight salary gains going forward. I'm happier with money in the bank every month. Does this mean other ALPA pilots with already superior...

Air Canada pilots will always be the butthole of the big global airlines if they continue to come up with excuses & acuse colleagues of being "entitled" when they know their value.

It is tragic the opportunity that was blown with this MEC.

5 days & counting...

Appears the government is steering clear for now

I see them picketing out in the elements. Good on them

Can someone honestly explain to me how the company announcing a share buyback program a week after the pilot contract worth a billion and how a much more costly strike with the Port Workers that went on for over a week isn't validation the MEC didn't completely settle too early?? You can't. Pilots ...

Did you really think we were going to get a bonus ? I’ll take my 330CA pay ( 381/hour + 17/hour Overseas ) over the meager profit share all day long. It’s hard to hear the same rhetoric from the same muppets crying over the contract they thought slipped through their finger tips…….ugh let’s give it...

They need to go

There is no way this crew can build unity ever again

Pilots struggling to negotiate big gains in this country during good times...

Imagine how they did during bad times...

Murray is full of more shit than a 16 hrs flight returning from Mumbai

It's incredible anyone listens to him

"Recalls in 2023"

Our MEC Chair who is possibly the best chair Air Canada pilots have ever had, is on the negots committee

I completely trust her moving forward in negotiations. Not to mention the committee is essentially seven people plus any deal would have to go through the MEC before any member sees it

My favorite is seeing former ACPA Reps on Company social media

They did such a good job fighting for the members the company puts them on their social media

Of course no union lanyard to be seen...

Imagine the Leafs need a 4th line fwd and they have no draft picks to develop because they’ve traded them all away. There’s a player with 6 years pro and years of film and data on. There’s also a 18 year old playing midget. Let’s bring him in for a shootout to make sure he can play hockey. Your rin...

There have been pickets at YYZ, YYC and YUL. One coming up in YVR. Not sure how anyone can say this MEC is doing much Did Air Canada pilots even picket before?? gettyimages-51431656-612x612.jpg They were striking here... So...no?? That is the difference between the ways of the old and the ways of t...

China contract quality of life paired with Canadian pilot wages

Ouch!

SO, what's happening with the MEC when one of the "leaders" of the revolution resigns from the company? Doesn't sound like unity to me. Baghdad Bob, is this the best you could come up with? I know you're still upset that the worst union on the planet is gone. The days of passing on management folkl...

A small handful of these guys who sport more usernames than pubes have degraded this forum to dust. It's a real shame. I've been on here for somewhere around 15 years. Got my first job through a member. The arguments and debates then were epic and relevant, and between people with 20k hours about T...

Cdnavater, We get it. You filling up this message board has made your point loud & clear...you're a rat Not quite a scab, sure you would be given the right circumstances Rats take what they can get. Drag everyone else around the down as they scurry around looking around for their little piece of che...

And we wouldn't have them on speed dial if we weren't ALPA

Follow Charlene's lead. You can start by wearing your ALPA lanyard the moment you get it, if she says to. The thing is, it’s not allowed in the FOM. She will have to get that changed if ALPA wants us to wear it. We can take off the company lanyard as an option. When Delta did their "no hats" campai...

ACPA's strategy or lack of has left AC pilots in the dust on nearly everything

Everyone focuses on the wage delta to Delta, but the scheduling / QOL rivals a northern bush operation

The sad part is that this is actually true.

There is a small contingent on the Facebook page complaining about the cost of stickers with hundreds of millions at stake with negotiations
