In addition to lowered salaries (4th year FO on ANY aircraft makes just $67K/yr...which is not enough to live on in Canada when over half of that is taxed and the cost of living is very high), but scope is completely wiped out.

The new contract provides Air Canada with the ability to get rid of 60 A320s and 60 Embraer 190s. The purpose of this is so they can send the aircraft to their new OFFSHORE BASED (yes thats right) Low Cost Carrier. You fellas think the scope erosion on the Delta TA was bad?...

:(

Apples and oranges. Feel free, however, to conduct research into the relative size of balls amongst pilot groups.:rolleyes:

I didn't compare contracts I compared the size of the balls. Our group would have voted it in, you included.

So I sat here thinking, "It's a link to Wikipedia - how bad can it be?"

Not cool, scambo. Not cool!

Tomorrow I start my 12th straight day of flying. All trips with strategic 24 hour breaks sprinkled in. Reserve with no yellow slip activated. I'm already over 60 hours credit with 10 days to go. CS said to expect the reign of terror for the rest of the month. We are out of pilots in my category. After my 3 day I'll be at 14 days straight flying with no end in sight. I've never worked this hard in an airplane before. My guess is 110 credit on reserve when they're through having their way with me.

Bring on the new hires before this place starts melting down further!!

There are some 320 people without it as well, I'm sure. I've got an SIC type in it (I was the second to last class before the PIC types started).

It's simple. Don't vote parties, always vote against the incumbant. That is the only way to have term limits. Both parties are filthy, scumbag liars. At least voting them out after one term they can't make it a lifetime job.

Even AC units on a 100 AMP sub panel, garage door openers, cell phone chargers, kitchen appliances, shop equipment. The file server was on a battery BU, behind a surge protector, still got blown to smithereens. Hoping the company network nerd can get data back off the RAID.

Good news is ... the house did not burn down and the musical equipment was unplugged.
