Air Canada Rouge reviews

***THIS IS FOR AIR CANADA ROUGE-GLASS DOOR ISNT LETTING ME SELECT THE PROPER AIRLINE. Management is literally bullying you every second, the contract (please look at the contract online before applying, it’s available to all) is absolute garbage. They give you the opportunity to do an airline switch from Air Canada Rouge to Air Canada after about 2 years of service but what they fail to mention is that your salary is going to be frozen once you flow through for the amount of years you’ve been at Air Canada Rouge once you’re at Air Canada. When your pay gets unfrozen, you don’t have a pay jump, you just keep going as a normal employee would. Meaning you’ll always make less than new hires. Always. I wish I knew this sooner and would’ve accepted the job offer from Air Canada instead a few years ago when I applied at both airlines. I thought I was winning because Rouge had offered me a base in YUL whereas Mainline was sending me somewhere else. Biggest mistake. The company overworks their flight attendants with absolutely no recognition AT ALL. Crew Scheduling will harass you and talk to you as if you’re 5 years old. They will give you attitude if you call in sick and management will ask for a proof of said sickness. Trust between management and employees simply do not exist. I’ve left Air Canada Rouge now thankfully and I’m with a much better contract at Air Canada (although management is still very much bullies over here) and let me tell you I absolutely don’t miss the ridiculous flights they make you operate, the 0 pay compensation after 15h duty days that are frequent recurrences by the way (excluding the time it takes to get to the airport, the unpaid showtime and more). Rouge does not have credit protection when flights get canceled. If you’re on call (reserve), there is no limit to airport standbys, they will ask you to be in charge (service director) after a month of service which is absolutely unsafe, will put a flight with one “senior” and the rest of are new hires (unsafe, again) and they will expect you to say yes to everything. You will get drafted at the end of your day for the next day, you won’t be able to say no because you will be called into a meeting and get threatened to be fired. They have literally no concept of respect whatsoever. I wish I was making this up but it is truly one of the worst company I’ve worked for.

Low cost airline business model that was never designed to keep employees long term, in order to keep their costs and salaries low. When you hit the highest pay scale you are constantly being harassed and suspended so that they can replace you with a new hire paid 23$ per hour. (Only paid once the airplane is flying). You get layovers but can't afford to do anything but eat instant noodles in your room. Poverty wages and toxic environment. If your goal is to travel for a few years apply for Emirates.
