My dear airline colleagues
I am making this general request in hopes that you will come to the aid of your Air Canada Flight Attendant colleagues.
As we all know, the world, and especially the aviation world, has changed post September 11. We are all trying to return to a normal semblance of life, as we had it before, but unfortunately, there are those that seek to profit from tragedy.
Our management has made changes in our working conditions to reflect the "status quo". As an example, our Crewing factor has changed. We are now flying with only 5 Flight Attendants on a B767 that seats about 200 people. With full service, to boot.
Management is constantly telling us that "The crewing-to-load standards are comparable to other major carriers". We would like to prove them otherwise.
Also, our Personal and Partner Pass Travel privileges, are changing as well. Management's statement is "The (Air Canada) Personal and Partner Pass Travel Privileges are among the most liberal in the aviation industry".
Once again, we would like to prove them otherwise.
So, I would like to call upon your help. If you could please provide me with official documentation answering the following questions, we would be forever grateful. Any input would be appreciated.
Crew Complement:
1. What is your crew complement policy, and can you send me a crew complement chart?
2. Is crewing to load part of your contract?
3. Are you compensated when you operate short crewed?
Passes:
1. What service charges are there on your passes?
2. Can your partner pass buddies travel unaccompanied?
3. Does your company charge you an administration fee if you dispute a pass charge?
You can email the information (and rest assured that your anonymity is guaranteed) to Jetwaiter@hotmail.com.
I thank you in advance for your assistance, your cooperation and your support.
