Dear Mainline Members,

Air Canada is failing to pay crew members who are required to report for duty up to thirty (30) minutes prior to any duty period. Air Canada stated that they are having IT issues but have not committed to ensuring proper payment would be forthcoming any time soon. Once again, our members deserve to be paid what they are entitled to.

Dear Mainline Members,

Air Canada is telling members to pay claim acknowledged meal allowances/entitlements because they are not automatically being paid out. Air Canada should be automating all meal allowance/entitlement payouts. Clearly, if Air Canada knows you are entitled to them, why should members need to submit pay claims to be paid out?

Dear Mainline Members,

Air Canada has failed to ensure that Cabin Personnel are being paid the greater of the federal or provincial/territorial required minimum wage. Please check your flight summary and pay statement to ensure that any training or alternate work ground duties you would have performed have been paid at the minimum wage. This affects members as they start their career at Air Canada, so we strongly recommend you verify your rate for all training paid to date.
