For AC, aren't their current hourly rate somewhat reflect the fact that they will be unpaid for some hours? I doubt they would've passed their last CBA if this wasn't the case.
Sounds like they want an increase in hourly wages + increase payable hours, so it's going to be really tough for any company to accommodate such an increase, and I don't even like AC.
Obviously this is only one sided ( https://www.aircanada.com/media/air-...negotiations/#), but the hourly wage, if true, certainly feels like it is subsidizing the unpaid hours: Quote:
Pay example for Flight Attendant hired in 2015:
Starting wage in 2015: $25.13/hour
Present wage in 2025 if Flight Attendant remains working in the same Flight Attendant position: $63.07/hour, more than 150% increase in pay since beginning career
Present wage in 2025 if now working as a Service Director:
o $73.03/hour on narrow-body aircraft, more than 190% increase in pay since beginning career
o $87.01/hour on wide-body aircraft, more than 246% increase in pay since beginning career

That’s a sweet fucking gig making $73 an hour on a narrow body if that’s what it comes to.
I get there are all the safety aspects, training, etc. but let’s face it, for the majority of the flight ya ain’t doing much.

If you have enough seniority a flight attendant can do 2 australia trips and a winnipeg day trip and they are done for the month. Plus you can sleep half of the flight time while getting paid. That's only 8 days of work a month. If you use your vacation time, you only work 6 months a year.

I'd say that's the one thing I hate about AC, the stewardesses are old and ugly.
It was especially jarring earlier this year when we had a boys trip down to Colombia. All the flight gals on LATAM were easily 8/10s at minimum.
Coming back on AC from Houston, they were all old, fat, crubby ass ladies with chubby arms and legs that kept bumping my damn shoulder while they trotted up and down the aisle.

There's a reason we see grumpy old cunts here in Van/BC
The union operates on seniority... Vancouver is not the biggest base, but the most people want to live here, but you can only get flights here if you have a lot of seniority ie: you're super old.
My ex-wife used to have to commute to Toronto to fly because she was 27 at the time and everyone from across the country was maintaining these weird condos in Etobicoke where someone would rent to anywhere from 4-8 flight attendants to use as a overnight stay since they're never there more than like 5-6 nights a month so she was in on one of those... she was told that maybe after 15 years she might be able to get a transfer to Vancouver as her home base. Maybe.
Inside AC the stewardesses call the Vancouver base "Jurassic Park" hahaha
In short, if you want hotties on your flight you gotta go out of Toronto.
