I wouldn't be surprised if it's an Air Canada Pilot.
There are a little over 400 737max pilots at Air Canada not working.
MAX is all we have, no NGs to go fly...
Company has a force majeure clause to not pay monthly guarantees on fleet groundings out of their control and doesn't want to reduce the positions to other fleets in case the grounding is lifted tomorrow.
Union got scared and quickly agreed to a short sighted very minimum pay among other concessions... yet these are usually the busiest, best paying months of the year... Captains are easily going to be out $50K+ if it goes to the end of the year.
Not to mention we have restrictions on type bidding... When you burn your upgrade on the 737, it's tough to switch to the 320 or another narrow body or vice-versa.
So stuck on the lemon with little certainty in sight and at a take home pay below what I made as an FO on my last type.
