Ah yes, the usual peanut gallery taking shots at their peers and twisting the facts. Let’s be honest, the FAs didn’t get 42%, or anything close to their topline demands. They were routed straight to arbitration. Exactly what everyone familiar with the process expected. They’ll eventually get a smal...

So if being locked into a deal until 2035(with a full wage re-opener in 2029) is so shitty then why (in your own words) did AC do such a poor job with open bargaining in 2024? Yet another person that just lives to complain and is never satisfied with anything. If you’ve got this whole bargaining th...

I actually think it's healthy that we're finally having these debates. It’s becoming pretty obvious that we have a subset of boomer-era pilots who use seniority as a shield to rationalize what is, frankly, a pretty sad quality of life created by decades of weak contracts. Because the truth is: Our c...

ACPA is back baby! Just more dues, expanded excuses, and an even tighter social club! 7) Eat steak 8.) Collect 90hr guarantee :prayer: Maybe we can strike in 2027 to get that 90 hrs guarantee up I guess the 'survey data' said that getting reps more money than the rest of us was a high priority?

So let me get this straight when it’s rep pay, the comparator is ALPA across North America. But when it’s the rest of the contract, suddenly it’s “Canadian standards.” Shouldn’t reps then pattern bargain off the lowest-paid reps too? By the way, isn’t starting pay at AC now roughly what it is at Fl...

The $800 million in share buyback backs last year after the contract was the best

Don't flight attendants at a global airline often speak other languages, require training in medical situations, pass tests on emergency situations and are literally the face of the airline when dealing with passengers? While I respect the job a flight attendant does, these are not things that take...

What a stupid ass thread

All I know is the Hawaiian prince Claude has to go. 14 years is way too long for anyone to be a Chair. Can only imagine the corruption that must be going on Hearing of paid Lincolns & trips to Hawaii?! Four trips to Hawaii, for allegedly meeting the Hawaiian MEC, about some cargo operation using A3...

Apparently he thinks he is Matthew Mcconaughey when is cruising around on union dues and Gordon Ramsay when he is slicing & dicing up meals in his MEC office while the bar fully is stocked

The biggest smoking gun is the Jazz pilots had a tentative agreement with Jazz management and AC rejected it and renegotiated a lower agreement, they were our employer with these actions. A few other things mentioned in this thread and a couple other things I’m not thinking of You're confusing the ...

Less divisive than 50 pilots, less than 1% of membership, getting 20% (or 30%!) of the vote on the MEC.

How many reps does Winnipeg have versus other bases?

Ouch...looks like record profits for the airline but a record low for profit sharing after giving it away. Would have been max bonus payout based on the EBITA...how much is everyone giving up now? Getting a pay raise on concessions...yikes Don't tell other ALPA carriers about this bold strategy. Yo...

Lol...never

Some Air Canada pilots just can't help themselves with concessions

I would take those numbers with a grain of salt, a lot of those businesses are using other shipping sources so business more or less as usual! The other thing, thousands of businesses losing 76 mil per day vs a SINGLE company losing the same amount is vastly different. Second, did you not get the p...

Did you talk with your rep? How many nights they spent sitting in a conference room talking to a wall( company ). I absolutly have no issue with them being paid 90 hours. Did you present yourself for election? Did you attend every meeting, every picket? Because they did No (volunteer) union rep sho...

The DB is a millstone tied around the pilots' necks. Always forced to negotiate MPUs and terms surrounding it. Give your money to AC to administer and profit with. Rely on AC general revs for your SRP payout. Meanwhile they pay nothing into it. CWIPP pilots never need to ask AC for anything during ...

Management is definitely profiting off the back of this deal and the pilots! Hear Rousseau today at Q3 results? He couldn't stop bragging about this new deal with the pilots!! That’s cuz he probably heard how big his bonus was gonna be come Xmas Ho ho ho! Merry Christmas Mr Rousseau! Signed, ALPA

This is almost everything. It’s like when people emerge from their respective echo chambers and find that the world as a whole isn’t as liberal as Reddit is or as conservative as Info Wars. But I still wouldn’t wear a lanyard for the same reason you’d never see an election sign on my lawn. An a non...

What does one do with all this World Class Contract paraphernalia?

Pins, lanyards, stickers...Put them on the Boulevard of Broken Dreams?

You can get company lanyards sent to your house via UniSync since our union seems too busy and can't get ALPA lanyards to the membership

Company doesn't need to bust the union when the union can bust itself

They deleted Profit Sharing Plan (Company-wide profit sharing) and changed the EBITDAR target changes from 15% to 20% So they essentially removed the bonus plan. Crazy to see Air Canada pilots defending the loss of this like it is no big deal. This will save the Executives hundreds of millions and i...

Air Canada is a $7,000,000,000 Market Cap. Say 500 pilots this year hired for an extra $50k. 500 x $50k is 25,000,000. Market Cap has little to do with payroll and cashflow. These are the types of comments that reinforce pilots stick to doing pilot things. It's embarrassing really. Lol... Market ca...

With the demise of Lynx and Flair floating in quicksand wouldn’t the AC Pilot Recruitment drop box be full of “ talent “ applications despite the starting remuneration. Just because you have a type rating doesn't automatically make you a great employee Also, many simply can't afford it. Do you real...

If Air Canada had a starting wage of a $100k there would be pilots all over the industry jumping. Think about how little money that is for top industry talent. The employees tasked with flying your most important assets. Air Canada is a $7,000,000,000 Market Cap. Say 500 pilots this year hired for a...
