So looks like we would have gotten profit sharing AGAIN this year if we didn't give it away?

Doesn’t affect the majority but how the shit was long call reserve missed Good question. I can't imagine going into negotiations with the same group and expecting different results. Long call reserve would be a game changer for many pilots and arguably good for the company too.. they would have mor...

Impressive! Long call reserve too. I wish we had this at AC but happy someone in Canada finally got it (not aware of anyone else that has this here). Well done TS! WestJet has long call since the last CA. Best fit reserve instead of seniority is a concession imo. 100% DH pay is great, same with the...

While it was great to see some pilots picketing in Toronto, this isn't a strike. It's the same old ALPA playbook where pilots stand around with signs before they sign something in the final moments....Not hard for any management team to figure out the game plan after doing the exact same thing over ...

Ponzi schemes lure people with promises of high returns. The scheme's organizers use the funds from new people to pay returns to the older, more senior people.  Ponzi schemes require a constant flow of new people to thrive. When new people stop coming, while everyone suffers, it is the newest people...

Wow FNGYYZ you really hit the trifecta of AC boomer angst :lol: 1. "You're talking bad about AC, must've been pfo'd" - because no one who actually works at AC would say anything bad about it, they just eat the shit served up by the company like a good boy 2. "You don't like AC's contract, go work s...

The MEC Chair doesn't do the negotiating. To be fair - the dumbest, least informed and least engaged members are usually the loudest. Especially on an anonymous forum where there's no social cost to being an opinionated moron. Exactly Aerkavo...this F'n idiot thinks the MEC Chair doesn't do the neg...

The truth is AC management played the negots expertly and these duds in the MEC are a bunch of all bark, no bite losers. She just put out a Christmas/year end video that is nauseating and repulsive. First time she's addressed the pilot group since Oct. Hard to believe we were actually duped by this...

But isn't Air Canada like the only airline on the planet with just short call reserve?

Being the noob I am, I'm going to be working like a sucker for no extra pay tomorrow and have to ask...are we the only fools in the industry working holidays for nothing extra?

Jazz, WestJet, assume United, Delta all get paid extra...I mean even the FAs do...

So all is well? I thought all was lost

Mikey seems pretty happy these days! From his statements about the "mutually beneficial" deal to the stock back on track to pre Covid levels to his promotion to head of the Star Alliance to him handing out Shine Points! We are all Winning as One! (Except for the junior suckers...we eat shit for a fe...

Air Canada pilots are so important that the strongest federal government in a generation would, of course, order them back to work. It's not like there are other airlines or cargo operators in this country. You see, when Canada Post workers go on strike for over 3 weeks during peak holiday season, ...

90 hours is too high.

I could MAYBE buy 85, but really think it should be closer to 80.

90 hours at Captain pay and Steak Dinners.

No wonder they pushed that Yes vote hard!

With the new pay scales, does there happen to be anyone freshly hired in their 40's that would be willing to share their earnings simulator? Can PM if you'd rather. I know it uses a min upgrade, chasing metal scenario, but I'm curious what sort of pension you can end up with if you can give 20 YOS....

I still can't believe my luck with ALPA. I am getting a nice $85k check, plus a $100k a year raise and my stocks are ripping. I don't know why people are upset. One day you will get this too. I didn't have time for any of the events and stuff but to all that did, thanks! My bank account appreciates...

Blueontop With respect: 1. Bare minimum would have been a 50%+1 ratification vote. 2. Not sure how long you have been at AC, but if you missed the TA1and then the 10 year framework roadshows, you can't imagine what "finger on the scales" looks like. 3. Given a 66% yes vote, it seems fairly unlikely...

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??

Hilarious to see the company share buyback program announced this morning and profits that will be just low enough to avoid any bonus for the pilots under this new contract :lol: Didn't ALPA say they weren't expecting the company to perform well enough for a profit share? At least the flight attenda...

What lanyards are we supposed to be wearing?

I am seeing the return of company lanyards and clip ons

I thought we were unionized? Brutal

Great job MEC

I've been doing reserve as a junior guy and have to ask...does Air Canada have the worst reserve rules in the world? No long call but we have "Best Fit". Big quality of life improvements was "better release language"...only problem with that is...you need a pairing or you just sit on short call rese...

The free C2 passes to make us feel like Flight Attendants really was a huge gain that sealed the deal for me. It has me looking past industry worst reserve, productivity rules and bonus plans combined with the 4 yrs Kirkland flat pay & new hires getting less than Flair. Really well done by this team...

Wow!

I couldn't imagine the planning and the size of a team needed for a pilot group triple the size now.

Are there any stories out there from pilots who have had to strike? Did you get stranded? How did the union get you home? Was it stressful? Everyone I talk to is ready to go the distance but just curious about stories of how it was from pilots who have experienced it It’s a shit show. But no one di...
