Guest The Clumsy Lover Posted June 3, 2003 Share Posted June 3, 2003 60-80 in August then approx 40 a month till the layoffs are complete. I would imagine that retirees are factored in thiese numbers. Best wishes to all Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest The Clumsy Lover Posted June 3, 2003 Share Posted June 3, 2003 60-80 in August and then 40 a month till all the layoffs are complete. Best wishes to all on all sides of the fence. For what it's worth here is th efleet plan from the globe and mail. A new flight path air Canada's restructuring plan is built on a move to smaller aircraft, which it believes will give it needed flexibility. It sees the reduction in the number of the once-ubiquitous Dash-8 commuter planes, and an expansion into more versatile regional jet aircraft.

Steam Driven Posted June 3, 2003 Share Posted June 3, 2003 I'm wondering if your list is already out-dated. In Vancouver yesterday we noticed one 747-400 painted white and ready for the desert at the old Canadian Hanger... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest The Clumsy Lover Posted June 3, 2003 Share Posted June 3, 2003 All the 747's were planned to be gone by the end of June so far as I know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

proview Posted June 3, 2003 Share Posted June 3, 2003 These speculations are always interesting but I find this one hard to believe. This shows the Air Canada fleet growing rather than shrinking. Surely the banruptcy judge as well as the bondholders, banks, and the investment community will have something to say about this. Most of us expect a quarter fewer planes to go along with a quarter fewer employees. It is still interesting, though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pictues Posted June 3, 2003 Share Posted June 3, 2003 I've heard that 385 will stay until the end of the year and the B747-400 Combi's may stay as the european riutes are filling up with passangers and cargo (Cargo on the main deck and underbelly). Could be wrong though but I hearwd they need 385 for at least the summer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest ACav8r Posted June 3, 2003 Share Posted June 3, 2003 Anyone in the know about what seniority list or ruling they will go by? When is this new ruling to be completed? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest ACav8r Posted June 3, 2003 Share Posted June 3, 2003 Lets hope that things pick up and they won't need to let this many go.

Guest Connaught Posted June 3, 2003 Share Posted June 3, 2003 to me parkin the 747's makes sense, Air Canada wants to Streamline the fleet, therefore why have the support, both training and materials, in place for 2 airplanes doing the same job, longhaul large airplanes being the 340 and 747 maintaing pilot and AME currency on type is expensive, maintaing a parts stock is also expensive, tooling is expensive, there has to be some give i see this happening between the 737 and the 320 family of aircraft soon as well, hate to say it it makes sense, as did my layoff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
