3385.jpg Be honest you're an ALPA rep aren't you? Given the corny username and the being all butthurt. Great way to motivate the membership. LOL ya sure man. You got me. Cry harder. Which base are you an MLO? Explain to me how calling out the farcical communications coming from ALPA is crying? CPU2...

One guy interviewed but the drunken reps accosted him and basically harassed him because he didnt like the world class TA. That's not what I heard. That individual is one if the most prolific online critics (I wouldnt be surprised if he was one or several of the posters here). But when confronted i...

I love how the latest communication is "we're shocked and appalled the company is exploiting all the weak contract language we allowed to pass." They aren't being "fair" and "respectful." "We made a bunch of weak handshake agreements on the implementation of the contract and the company is ignoring...

This "we are on the edge of needing layoffs" and "too poor to pay for fuel" narrative also works to the company's favour as the AME's and rampies contract is up and they will be entering negotiations this summer. You can never count out dirty games when it comes to AC management. The summer bid will...

So, if I’m reading that correctly, for every AR that stays, someone under 65 retires? This has always been my opinion on the matter, I plan to retire at 60 which offsets one who wants to keep going, I find this “get out of my way” attitude to be extremely selfish and part of the generation coming u...

Anyone know how many AR pilots are actually on the roster? 50 currently. 25 non AR guys retired in 2025, another 25 to add to that this year. 200 eligible in the next 3 years. Also, not everyone retires right at 65. I know a bunch of skippers who will leave at 60, so upgrades are definitely coming ...

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...

I don't see a situation where there are big layoffs due to this. If you look at what happened during covid when the whole world ground to a halt, AC still only laid off ~600 pilots. In early 2020 we were sitting at approx 4000-4500 pilots on property I believe? So give or take 15% got a lay off. Thi...

I believe it's calculated in Jun or Jul, paid out whenever the company feels like it. Last year some didn't get it till Oct/Nov. Another expertly negotiated article.

Anyone know of any calls for a May / June PIT? I also have heard they have added a few courses for the remaining of the year. Just heard today, the target is 480 new hires for 2026. Courses every 2 weeks but class sizes can vary a lot from less than 20 to over 30. Training dept and crew planning tr...

368k CAD Inclusive of Company 401k, per diem, profit sharing.

(This number is triple what I made in Canada in 2024.)

Through what avenue did you get right-to-work if you don't mind sharing.

On a slightly different topic is it just me or does anyone else think the use of French by ATC in Quebec is a bit of a safety issue? I totally understand the history that has made Quebec a mostly French speaking part of the world but that always seems a bit unsafe to me It's a bad joke that this is...

Would love to see Mikey get the boot, but this whole thing is beyond ridiculous and more insulting to the victims than just leaving it alone. These stupid language rules are just fodder for fake outrage. Reminds me of the idiots who took AC to court because the seat belt buckles have "LIFT" engraved...

Yeah, my buddy just got hired he interviewed last July and just got the call. Slow process rn. I couldn't tell you how long base transfers will take but its been up and down in the last couple years. In the grand scheme of things it won't be long. Still a decent amount of widebody growth to facilit...

"Too much taxes"...ie blaming AIFs Despite Air Canada having the lowest % of labour costs to operating expenses of any major North American airline. What do you attribute the cross border pay differential to? Frankly a lot of it is pilots knowing their worth. Well actually more just Americans menta...

Can you quantify that "costly" concession? How much has it cost you? Because there would have been ZERO profit share in 2024. And for 2025 it would have been around $3K? Meanwhile my T4 pre and post contract differs by nearly a hundred grand, same metal, same seat. Hmmmm Hmmmm 100k pay difference.....

A few guys bitching and they haven't even called their reps with their questions... let alone showed up at a meeting. Or are we dwelling on the past here? It's all pretty vague innuendo about a conspiracy against the membership. What's your problem exactly? Be specific. There are always problems th...

The same stooges were just reelected on the negotiating committee. Lots of chatter going around about how some younger guys who wanted to run were directly mistreated/intimidated/disrespected because they voted no to the current contract. Any opposition to the actions of previous MEC labelled as "d...

One of the few people here speaking any sense instead of making excuses for the failures.

Been here for 15 years, I’ll take the guaranteed money over a profit share. Too many geopolitical uncertainties and an overall weak economy. The previous profit share was tied to a 2% a year raise, and we got hosed during those times while everyone else made out very well. Lol...you do realize you ...

I’ll take guaranteed money in my pocket every year, with language still in the contract for profit sharing if we have an excellent year. The profit share language isn’t gone, but the triggers have changed. That is something that can be changed back going forwards if that is a priority for the membe...
