Re: So how actually is at the other side of the fence?

I joined Avcanada way back in the internet dark ages. It used to be a different place. Well, that was before all the YouTube aviation channels started. Used to be a place where you'd go to get a discussion about the latest incident or industry news - because there was no place else to get it. Gradua...

Re: So how actually is at the other side of the fence?

Crazy some of the logic people put in on here to "justify" their views that the young are the ones who are crazy! I didn't say they were crazy - just telling you what I've been told. You decide if it's crazy or irrational. Yeah you are right- Delta, American and United pay the worst because they ar...

Re: Did Air Canada pilots really take concessions in this negotiating climate?

Air Canada pilots sound insecure if they need to assume every pilot who is critical somehow got PFO'd To be fair this is pretty common over on the Transat page as well. Canadian aviation is full of fragile egos. It's not completely unheard of. It's human nature that if you've been rejected from a c...

Re: So how actually is at the other side of the fence?

Instant gratification, that’s what some of the new hires are looking for. Great schedule, great pay from the onset. Not from everyone but from some I've heard it like this: They want the pay to be equal or greater to any other company but also want the career potential that comes from a large estab...

Re: So how actually is at the other side of the fence?

Look, the early years will suck. Being at the bottom of any seniority list sucks. There is no way around it. This is the often misunderstood aspect of the job. I recently talked to a junior, new hire bus driver for a municipal transit system. He told me it was a pretty good job after you'd put in a...

Re: Did Air Canada pilots really take concessions in this negotiating climate?

Exactly. The MEC chair has 2 major accomplishments: merging ACPA into ALPA and securing a CA, that, admittedly is not perfect, but is a 41% increase above the last CA. For that, this clown insults her "charisma". Who cares about charisma. Managing the transition to ALPA is a significant achievement...

Re: Did Air Canada pilots really take concessions in this negotiating climate?

So Bede in your opinion was the AC contract a touch down or a fumble I know you're weren't asking me but I'd like to give an answer to your question. Was the latest contract a touchdown or a fumble? It doesn't matter. In fact, it's a meaningless question. Some people will think it was a win others ...

Re: Did Air Canada pilots really take concessions in this negotiating climate?

I can say with confidence 2/3 of the pilot group is not happy with this contract, even many who voted yes. Is it possible they’re just politely agreeing with you so you shut up? Without a doubt. It's a common tactic - ask a few questions, find out what the other guy's "thing" is and just serve him ...

Re: Did Air Canada pilots really take concessions in this negotiating climate?

Is it possible that Transport Minister threatened the MEC with jail time? I think that's unlikely. If anything it was a suggestion that striking would lead to government/CIRB intervention in short order. Actually, I think it was even less than that - just having the Labour Minister present in the h...

The difference being postal workers (and LCBO workers) are unskilled workers not requiring advanced licences, certifications, or years of experience. AC pilot had much more power than both of these groups who elected to follow through on their threat of strike. Would the government have intervened?...
