Re: So over at TransAt.......PAY ATTENTION!

Working with you sounds like working with a dictator. I wear my red lanyard, but I might just start doing VO whenever I can so I can watch you seethe. Dictator? :lol: For real? Is that sarcasm? Surely thats sarcasm. If you feel that distressed by red lanyards, toss yours in the garbage, put your Ai...

Re: So over at TransAt.......PAY ATTENTION!

I honestly think this constant lanyard posting does more harm than good. You might be right, pathetic that it's even an issue, but that is the Air Canada Pilot way. ALPA has not changed much it seems to me.. I honestly think that soon you won't have to worry about it. Lanyards are the very tip of t...

Re: So over at TransAt.......PAY ATTENTION!

Sorry, new about the whole reserve stuff. Is sliding day on RSV seen as bad ? In a word, yes. Things like sliding days, sim vol, VO, selling vacation, extending duty days may seem insignificant to many, but think of it this way. Anything that seems good for you in the very short term helps the comp...

Re: ACA starting position

Thanks to acpa, a complete overhaul of the contract needs to be done. This won't be a quick process, but both sides are meeting frequently and actively engaged in continued negotiations. Ahhh, well more accurately; Thanks to an overwhelming majority of Air Canada pilots, who from since around 1998,...

Re: So over at TransAt.......PAY ATTENTION!

A lot of talk about professional pilots here.

These are the professionals pilots - with professional pilot actions - I want to be associated with.

Re: ATC Failure - Alaska Airlines - Horrible ATC service

It all worked out, that’s the most important. I agree the pilot transmissions probably contributed to some confusion. I agree that had the words Mayday (or PAN) been transmitted — if in fact the crew believed it dire and with loss of craft or life as imminent — this incident would have resolved in a...

Assuming you are on flat pay, you will also have the pleasure of hanging your head in the customs line knowing that you are one of the lowest paid wb pilots in the world! Yes, true.

I spent 25 years at the bargaining table. rudder With that type of experience, let me ask you. In a few sentences, did you ever discuss pay for outbound delays during those years at the table? With more and more responsibilities being dumped on us outbound, it will be a non starter for me when it c...
