Re: No Bailout for Bombardier

Not a fan of bail outs. But the cost to the taxpayers if bombardier goes down the drain won’t be cheap. Let’s say you give a billion dollars to a company with 40k employees, that’s 25k per employee. Now if these are good paying jobs, you will basically get all your money back in a year of income ta...

New Employee Travel Dress Code

Am I reading this correct. As long as it is not stained, dirty, transparent, torn, revealing, or otherwise compromises a neat appearance, it is permitted. Will we be seeing employees in sweat pants and flip flops travelling on passes?

Re: Question regarding, manifests, airlines and regulations. Boarded a plane, fell asleep and missed my stop

Yes, legally speaking maybe the weight and balance was off by 220lbs, however, I suspect that: If you use standard weights on an atr size aircraft, you're already off by more than 220lbs. And, I don't think the aircraft performance wise or C of G position wise, will care about 220lbs in row 7C. I d...

Re: Gender X weight

I feel that "Gender X" is identity appropriation. It's far too similar to "Generation X", "Gen X", etc, and unfairly associates/confuses with my age identity. There are 23 other letters to choose from, plus infinite numbers, or just plain old something else. Gen X came first. Those incels better pi...

Re: Gender X weight

If your having a weight issue just ask everyone to self identify as female. You can then usually get all the passengers and bags on.

Re: New hire bids

You're fooling yourself if you think otherwise. I haven't seen the lifestyle at Encore, but I am right to be skeptical about Jazz based on the fact that they make you agree to move somewhere before telling you where. I don't mean to pick on you specifically, plausiblyannonymous, but being a recent ...

Re: August Equip Bid

Now that AC bid is out Jazz will need lots of pilots if AC needs to fill each GS with 60% of Jazz pilots. I think Jazz will need to give AC 480 pilots ... ouch That assuming the 600+ Transat pilots aren’t filling a bunch of them I doubt very much that AC will park all the TS planes. Under ACPA rule...

Re: August Equip Bid

Isn't the YYZ Q doing a lot of that eastern flying? or is it mostly YUL? I don't look too closely at their bid pacs anymore. I also wouldn't be surprised if they didn't run an august bid again.. That eastern flying is being taken off the Q and given to rouge 319 There is lot of eastern flying out o...

From my understanding, Jazz has been cancelling an absurd amount of flights which are Air Canada paying passengers and Air Canada flights.
Define absurd. Because I would dispute the accuracy of that statement

Re: August Equip Bid

Once Rouge takes over all the YFC YSJ flying there’s not much need for a YYZ Q base. Do YYZ crews continue to DH east or west to start every pairing? YVR Q base will continue to grow. Out east do we open a YHZ Q base? Way more flying there for the Q than YYZ but open a base or continue to dh crews f...

Re: Gate checking carry on in Canada

I heard it from a friend who heard it from a AC agent that at check in you can check a “carryon” size bag for free regardless of ticket type. This is at check in not the gate. Nothing about this on AC website. Has anyone ever heard/experienced this.

Re: Commuting In/Out of Uniform & CATSA

Only at certain airports. This is not a Transport Canada rule but rather a rule invented by a security clown-in-charge at one airport and copied by others. YYJ, YEG, and YUL are the only ones I can think of off the top of my head. It’s a TC rule. Crew in uniform are only exempt from the liquids and...
