My husband is a 2nd year Air Canada pilot and he makes less than $4000 after taxes. In fact, he has no money left after paying off the mortgage. And he has a second job. In fact, many pilots are not even guaranteed a day off and are doing other things. This is wrong. When he has to commute to another city, other experienced pilots get to sit comfortably in business class, but my husband gets home in uncomfortable economy class after flying 15 hours. I expected at least better conditions when my husband went to Air Canada. We believe it is essential to improve the treatment of pilots with less than four years of experience. Do you know how much profit the company and its executives make? It’s a management problem that doesn’t take into account the treatment of the pilots, and they are trying to improve it, so don’t blame the pilots.

Also, digustingly greedy. Apart from the horrendous effects on travellers, If this goes through, all it will accomplish is to increase the already over-priced flight costs, resulting in (hopefully) fewer people flying with this already terrible company. And, guaranteed, AC will not honor any promises they make to refund anything for flights that are cancelled.
