Re: Recall of MEC Chair & Vice Chair

I was flying with the FAs and they are still wearing their green lanyards. What a great crew!

Whatever happened to all those World Class Contract lanyards?!

Re: Flight Attendant strike vote opens on July 28th

Aren't you a funny guy, I don't know any Pilot that was in a position of strength to negotiate anything for their first job. The fact of the matter is, almost every single newhire FA's job options, are minimum wage jobs. How much do you think AC should pay a 1st year FA? Boomers UNITED! I think Fli...

Re: Grievance update for the 285ish former Jazz pilots affected by Flow

If any Jazz Flow Through Pilot thinks the existing Seniority List is going to get changed - you are completely delusional. Alot of the 285 already know it's not gonna change. Those numbers are lost till we retire, they are only seeking a fair compensation without hurting anyone else not involved. I...

This is amazing! Jazz pilots getting seniority over Air Canada pilots

Next it will be Endeavor at Delta, Horizon at Alaska, PSA at American, Mesa for United, Encore for WestJet!!

Re: Moonlighting while at AC

Wow hopefully that doesn't happen again to the cwipp pension. Definitely no guarantees with a target.

Pretty happy with MPU increases from the last round. Combine that with the $100k final few years pay increase for me, Im sitting pretty. Good luck!

The Negotiating Committee legal advice came from CaleyWray, a Canadian firm. They know Canadian labour law and political system better than ALPA legal in Washington.

Re: Does ALPA ever strike?

Do you somehow believe that it’s “Big ALPA” that somehow decides whether an airline strikes or not? Because if you do, you are out to lunch. Rather it’s the voting members of the MEC(who are elected at the LEC level by the pilots in that base) who decide whether to send an AIP(agreement in principl...

You are the embodiment of the stereotypical Canadian pilot that doesn't know their worth. You make the company's job of keeping WAWCON suppressed easy.
