Presidents Message
Dear Pionairs Member,
I would like to invite you to the 35th Annual General Meeting of your Pionairs organization to be held at the Delta Toronto Airport West Hotel on April 29th & 30th 2012.
At the Pionairs Business Meeting you will meet the current Pionairs Executives and various committee members, who are all working hard behind the scenes to help safeguard our pension and our many retirement interests. There will be Financial and Pension Reports from your executive and information on current Pionairs activities and upcoming events. At the same time, this is also a great opportunity to reacquaint with old colleagues and friends and enjoy some of the other planned events.
At the Information Meeting you will hear from the invited Air Canada Executives who will provide current information on Air Canada’s group benefits and employee travel together with details about Air Canada as it relates to our future.
