Air Canada Employee Buddy Pass, Common-Law Question
Any AC employees here? I need to clarify the buddy pass regulations:
1. To my knowledge, you can change the nominated buddy twice every 365 days (as opposed to "every calendar year"). Is this correct?
2. Once you declare a common-law partner, you can't change to a nominated buddy anymore, or back and forth. Is this true? I had been under the impression that once you declare a spouse/partner, it is easier to switch to a nominated buddy and back and forth.

Nooooooo, do not ask that here!!!
Golden rule, discretion, stay quiet, don't ask for anything, draw attention to yourself. You have a toll free number for that and when you log in, it's right there what the rules are......this is the wrong place.

Why not ask the employee? Is it possibly because you want to try to persuade them to make you a nominated partner, when they have given you information that they 'can't'?
If you are the employee, you should know better than posting here. If you aren't the employee, you don't need the answers to the questions you asked.

Déjŕ vu all over again

I can think of at least two better sources than FT for getting answers to the questions raised: the airline employee and the airline.......

Anyone who has info as an AC employee can PM me. But I've been getting wildly contradictory responses. Half are saying that you can change your nominated buddy twice a year, the other half are saying that you can have two nominated buddies per year and switch back and forth between them limitlessly.

OP: stop fishing for policies so you can hopefully score "free" travel from an AC employee you have yet to meet. As stated in the 5 pages of replies, if you knew an AC employee it would take 2 minutes to find the info on the intranet.
Stop pestering AC employees to make you a nominated partner when it is clear that their reluctance to give you information means they don't want to.

Thanks to those who sent me a PM with info. I spoke to HR Connex and worked it out, and I'm very happy with the results. It turns out that the intranet is not 100% clear and is open to interpretation, and that a lot of employees misinterpret the rule.
