Hi sinkrate.
Great response. Better than anything our PBS committee can tell us. We've been asking for the straight goods to deflect the blame from them but nothing like the substance you've provided. It sounds like it's unrealistic mgmt constraints.
We have a step by step solutions...
We finally got out blocks. Took 6 days of a continuous run. They had to open up our hard 16 day max to 17 and our designated block hrs to -9 to +1.
These are big hour swings. Now we have 270 blocks to run and our smaller bases have no problems. Just YYZ 320 FO.
PBS gives you a lot of...
AdOpt is the vendor. They are using their servers to run our bid because I guess we have reached the limitations of the program.
Priority bid system would be much easier.
I'd like to get some input on how other airlines with (200+ pilots per equip seat) are able to get their block built and issued in a timely manner. The reason....
Here at Air Canada we use PBS. Our largest equipment base is the YYZ 320 (270+ per seat). Our July blocks have yet to be...
They screw up, we pay the price - travelers, crews, and airlines.

Do you work for Homeland Security because that policy sounds like a nonsensical dribble that they would come up with up, except for the profiling part. According to your logic foreign based airlines that fly into the US (if memory serves me right there are a few...) can fly in with these yahoos...
Chill dude. Just take a deep breath and relax. I thought it was funny.
Regardless MESA and all it's subsideries have always been the whipping boy of aviation.
Just lurking here but the BIG questions REMAINS.......when the stock goes back up $16/share do you get to report a $6 Billion gain.
I honestly don't know. I should have been an accountant because apprently a rainy day can be sunny!
Orginal Air Canada mid to low seniority pilots got absolutely screwed in the merger with Canadian. Many literally lost hundreds of thousands in potential earnings as CA upgrades disappeared and some bumped of aircraft.
This is not going to be pretty....
How in the he!! are you going to move up the seniority list. They're recalling 25 guys for now. Chances are 100% that the recalled guys will be THE BOTTOM 25 on the list - guranteed reserve and no life. Sure you may move up to the covented 5 from the bottom if more guys pass but who cares...
Can anyone tell me where I might be if I'd have accpeted their interview offer in 7/2000 and was sucessful. I hurts to think about it considering I was a part of the great Independence experiement..........
Yep, the 705 is a 900 with less seats (70) so pax comfort will be a bit better. It will be operated by Jazz, their regional. But this is definitely short term - it's summer, eveyone is golfing up in Canada, wait until the cold weather comes and everyone bails out - then you'll see the Airbus...
When your in dire straits you're not in a position to control negotiation, isn't that obvious. Getting a billion eh! How many buyers of your regionals are there?????? One potential buyer and the sellers close to bankrupcy.....I smell a fire sale.
Their pilots put down $30,000!!!! to get the job. It was a training bond payable over 2 years - most of the pilots, who will get nothing back, only made $35,000 their first year.
A lesson to paying upfront in this environment. Pay for your job, get paid peanuts, lose your job and your...
