Air Canada strike
- Thread starter nobbie48
- Start date
last was over in 10days
Two AC pilots got into an elevator with me this week , both wearing orange lanyards that say “strike ready” . F them, if they want US wages go live in Ohio , wear Trumps refugees will eat your pets . These twats have ruined plans for a least 4 of my friends that are cancelling trip because you may not get back. I own shares in AC and they do not pay a dividend. They make tons of dough , the idiots flying want an extra 25% and they cant pay a dividend? Must be a Canadian airline , propped up by our idiots in Ottawa.
My buddy is a TO based 777captain , he’s already calculating his increased lifestyle . I’ll fly Porter every chance I get . I hate westjet , but it’s not worse than AC .

FWIW I ask because a relative is scheduled to fly in Air Canada in early October. Auckland > Vancouver > TO returning to NZ via London and Singapore. She's booked some side trips for when she's here.
Welcome to Canada sis. I hope she bought cancellation insurance, not that they're up front about what you get back.

And Pearson is such a wonderful efficient place to transit.

Air Canada pilots threaten to continue operating Air Canada flights until their demands are met
Air Canada insists that its pilots are already paid a fair rate for the grim work they perform.

I may be wrong but my understanding for airlines is seniority does not follow a pilot when they change airlines. So if you are 15 years in at AC and decide to move to delta, you go to the bottom and start over.
If so, what is the exact threat? "I will quit my 150K a year job and go work in the US for 56K"

We have a cruise booked out of Vancouver Sept. 21.......... Fly out of Pearson early AM 21/9 on Air Canada, board at 1, ship sails at 3. Not looking good.
Our saving grace, financially, is that we always book the flight in with the cruise company. If we can't get there we're covered for both the flight and the cruise. Once the strike starts we will contact cruise company to see if alternative carriers will work. We'd be willing the drive to Buffalo to catch a flight. Whole thing is a PITA and somewhat negates the pleasure of a vacation.
There isn't enough space here to tell you what I think about AC and the GTAA.

Once carriers like AC contracted out bagagge handling to a third party GTAA contractor , all bets were off. I've only lost luggage twice in 40yrs , but its enough.
Pilot buddy says, 1 million people in thbe air every day and you lost a suitcase, boohoo. Well if your going to the Arctic and leaving TO, and your Muklucs are in the lost bag? yeah that sucks. F you AC.

You should fly WestJet
When I was going on a trip where specific things mattered, my carryon had hiking boots and a sleeping bag. Everything checked would have been easier to replace if needed. I always assume the checked bag isn't going to make it. It's sad that so many don't make it and airlines do a completely shite job of reuniting passengers with their stuff.
I bought a vest that has a ridiculous amount of pockets for this reason for one flight. I had my camera, ipad and every other valuable inside the thing.

A friend had to do a service call in Nova Scotia, taking his high voltage testers and sharp pointy things that had to go checked. He landed in Halifax, his tools in Germany. I don't know who paid his down time.
Link? On the salary top up
Those details wouldn't get posted until ratified by the pilots. Only insiders will know those deets.
Air Canada, pilots reach tentative deal, averting work stoppage
Passengers with plans to fly on Canada's largest airline can breathe a sigh of relief after Air Canada said Sunday it has reached a tentative agreement with the union representing more than 5,200 of its pilots.
