VO on full displacement while in negots... and the day after your base votes to put you up for recall? Seems more like a good time to resign. This is right up there YUL vice chair taking VO to go to the MEC meeting with 600 on the street "so he didn't have to ride in economy." All these guys are kun...

Not seeing him on the YWG position award list.

Because he's 100% displaced.

To represent 50 people.

What a waste. Back to the line.

Min 25% is at the top. Flat pay should be limited and at a dramatically higher rate (min 6 figures second year). The point to illustrate is compounding. It is no different than compound interest. Done correctly a new-hire 2023 with 30 years of service should have a near astronomical career earnings...

I'm getting up there in seniority on the NB side and still working max days. Inefficient 16 day months, plus training some months, plus maybe a travel day for training... I mostly do the type of flying I like, and often get most of my days off requested, but It's too much. I won't be satisfied until...

As chopper posted, this is a Canadian forum with different licensing, different career paths, and a different job market. UK/EU is riddled with pay to fly schemes that cost upwards the value of a home mortgage to put ab initio guys into airliners - ie. buying your job. Make sure you understand the c...

Did they consult the local band council too? Jeesh...

He's within the law, loophole or not.

It's a dock in front of his property, who cares, I've seen plenty worse up in cottage country.

Who could have imagined that this would happen? WHO? Pilots "undermining the collective efforts of other pilots for over 20 years". Great new slogan, maybe a bag sticker. Pretty good show though! Only a month ago........WE'RE GOING TO SHOW YOU A THING OR TWO! WE'RE ALPA NOW, WE'RE SERIOUS! Right. T...

Who has the most to gain from an ‘industry’ contract? A newbie. A 25% pay uplift is worth way more over a 30 year career than a 10 year (remaining) career. Educate. 25% is fuckall im sorry... we can do alot better. Especially at the bottom end. The company can easily afford to pay every captain 50%...

Just passing by - had a lunch today with a good friend who is FO at Air France, year 2: made 11000k€ net this month (includes overtime - basic is 6900€ net/month). He couldn’t believe the salary offered at AC :shock: And the average years in the industry of an FO at Air France is likely a fraction ...

An education campaign needs to begin. Courtesy of the MEC. All about collective bargaining. The process. The timeline. The objectives. And perhaps - the strategy. It has been so long since there was a legitimate pilot union at AC and so long since normal course bargaining has taken place it is poss...

We all need to engage the guys next to us every pairing. The company managers are pretending that they don't have anything to address with us now or in the incoming negotiations, they think that status quo is good enough. The company will not do anything without us forcing them. Not covering the fl...

I can certainly empathize with those that can not survive without VO. But how are you going to survive a strike? The way I see it, is that if right now, today, this week, over the summer, everyone stood together and showed the company that we have the strength, then a strike will be averted. Right ...

"Productive relationship" For the company that means we work more, make less, shut up, and just be happy to be here. It's been completely one way for the past 20 years, we keep giving and giving to this operation thinking next time it will be different. I hope someone told ALPA we're going to need s...

"Adams said there's nothing in the labour relations board's decision that could compel workers to accept overtime."

Enjoy your summer. Don't lift a finger outside of your block. Fock VO & draft. No sim seat fills. No extending unforeseen. Follow the contract. No coordinating other departments' problems with STOC. This place won't function without us going 110%. That's what they rely on. This makes it easier for o...

I will add: Pilots only in the jumpseat. FAs can figure out their own commute. What benefit would that be to the pilots? Don't pilots already get first bid for the JS? Getting an FA to work in the flight deck helps a coworker, but it helps the company too, I'm all out of motivation to help this ope...

You guys should be doing the same, if not better than us in the US. I'm a junior Alaska Airlines captain, and hustling this year I'm going to make $370,000 (usd) Awesome that you joined this group three days ago. Send us a pic of your pay stub. Of course, blur out the personal info. :) Here ya go. ...

If you haven't figured it out yet, Canada's "free" healthcare is almost non-existent. Can't get a family doctor. Can't get in to see a specialist. Months, even years long wait for imaging. No access to effective treatments and drugs for many diseases. They're encouraging suicide for many as a more v...

Who is getting the $65K every level starting pilot salaries this guy is talking about in the article?

Is he including the second job that's required to make rent?

I didn't break $65K until my 3rd year at AC. Maybe 13 or 14 years into my career.
