Pionairs General information

Preamble

This information was primarily created to be printed for Pionairs who do not normally have access to a computer, or to the various associated 'Internet' based information sites, nor to the receiving of any e-Mail based information. After downloading the PDF file it is easily printed and/or distributed to those that don't have computer access. It is also a searchable reference to those that do have computer access. We have included a number of references to computer information sites etc., so that you can achieve access through a friend, or family member who has a computer, or even through the use of an 'Internet Café' or a Library.

The late Gord Dalziel frequently reminded us that we were "Pionairs helping Pionairs" and we dedicate this section to the memory of Gord whose dedication and hard work with the Pionairs helped make this area possible.

Most of the PDF contents have been compiled from the 'Pionairs' e-Mail News' sent out on a regular basis by National, and/or it has been copied from the Pionairs' Internet Website. It is primarily Air Canada company produced information, which we all realize is being up-dated often due to the ongoing changes in the industry. Some of the following will therefore become out-of-date but the majority of it will remain current. We will of course try and keep it up-dated, but with only the important changes. In the meantime we suggest that you keep it readily available, because we have included many phone numbers where you can get your questions answered to information not printed here.

Pionairs National has an 800 phone number with an up-dated recorded information message - CALL 1-866 232-6715

Air Canada has hired outside non-Air Canada private companies to look after a great deal of its Administration. (e.g.) Since early June, 2005 Air Canada has outsourced the Administration work of the Personnel / Human Resources and the Pension and Estates offices to Hewitt and Associates, a Toronto company with offices in the USA.
