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.

Dear Mainline Members,

Air Canada has been determining the entitlement to statutory holidays of those on special assignment based on an incorrect application of the Collective Agreement. Air Canada is stating that members on special assignment are considered to be “off the payroll” and allegedly disentitled to statutory holidays, contrary to the Collective Agreement and the Canada Labour Code. Furthermore, Air Canada is improperly clawing back what they believe to be overpaid statutory holidays.

Dear Mainline Members,

Air Canada has still not implemented an automated process to ensure members are paid out their contractual night/special dinner entitlements. In addition, Air Canada has not addressed how members can be paid out their owed night/special dinner entitlements prior to implementing a manual process to do so as of the January 2024 block month. This allowance is specific to night dinners you would be receiving when operating pairings that comply with the all night flight pairing definition in B8.18 (departures between 0300-0530 and arrivals between 0300-0430).

Dear Mainline Members,

Air Canada has violated the Collective Agreement by applying an incorrect rate of pay to Mainline cabin crew personnel who have flown through from Rouge. Furthermore, Air Canada is failing to address the queries of affected members, as well as the queries made by the Union on their behalf. The Union claims that this is an abuse of management rights. Errors in pay need to be rectified immediately.
