Re: Upcoming Compensation and Benefits Proposal

Fellow Pilots,

As the voting process commenced, it became apparent that within a span of six hours, the Company requested an update on the voting participation among pilots. The response rate was an impressive 79.7%. The rapidity of this voting suggests a significant inclination towards opposing the current proposal.

In light of these developments, Air Canada management engaged in discussions with the ACA MEC, expressing a desire to secure pilot support. They acknowledged the financial obligations faced by many pilots, including debts, mortgages, and familial responsibilities.

Recognizing that numerous pilots under the flat pay structure possess considerable experience, the Company has come to understand the necessity of ensuring that these pilots do not seek supplemental employment in various sectors, such as ride-sharing, grocery services, culinary positions, construction, and call centers.

In consultation with legal advisors, the ACA MEC has accepted the Company's proposal, with the stipulation that an additional 40% salary increase be granted to Trainers. The conditions agreed upon are as follows:

All pilots in Years 1 and 2 will receive a Cost of Living Adjustment (COLA) of $12,000, to be disbursed in monthly installments.
All pilots in Years 3 and 4 will receive a COLA of $9,800, to be disbursed in monthly installments.
Air Canada will provide a family stipend of $9,500 for the first child, $6,800 for the second child, and $4,000 for each subsequent child, up to a maximum of $26,000 per year, payable in monthly installments. This stipulation applies to pilots in Years 1 through 4.
The Company will grant eight B1 passes to all pilots, though retroactive passes for the year 2023 will not be provided.
We welcome this initiative and appreciate the Company’s effort to recognize and value the contributions of Air Canada pilots, thereby establishing a solid foundation for a world-class contract. Further details will be communicated shortly through a video message from the MEC. Please remain vigilant for updates in your email.

In Unity,
ACA MEC

I know right?

[dontcallmeshirley]

I'm calling BS. ALPA is supposed to use a system that doesn't share results until the vote is closed.

Good turnout is not indicative of a vote in either direction... it's indicative that people have cast a vote.

I thought the post was hilarious. One of the funniest things in a while. Then I saw the responses. The fact that some people took it seriously is definitely funnier.

My thoughts exactly.

I admit I'm one of those who fell for it. Says a lot about how ALPA is perceived these days though
