Re: Flair Pilots Better Starting & Top End Pay Now?!

"Without lifting a finger" Absolutely! Imagine coaching pilots through endless additional training meetings, the parade of disciplinary meetings, fielding every "CS is screwing me" call at all hours, all while trying to hold the company to account. Never mind the bottomless inbox and the DARTs. The...

Re: Flair Pilots Better Starting & Top End Pay Now?!

Looks like it's 4:25 per day in the contract, not 5:00. I don't think you can work on Union release days either... hmm... and I see guys working many more than 5 days? I'm not sure it sounds totally accurate from whoever you're speaking with about it... I was told they just take the hours and then ...

Re: Flair Pilots Better Starting & Top End Pay Now?!

Looked it up... "up to 8 ALPA business days" for each of the 10 status reps. Can be redistributed by ALPA as required to other ALPA reps or volunteers on each base too. Not sure how many "up to" means is typical, but it's paid by the company not member dues. I don't think doing OT is a good look fo...

Gains were the highest year 3-4 FO and then 1-2 FO in the last deal... then in all FO seats NB, then WB, then NB CA, then WB CA, - except all 767 which took big gains coming off cargo scale.

Re: Flair Pilots Better Starting & Top End Pay Now?!

I've heard the stories on how the MEC treated volunteers.

Nah...Im good.

But we should still hold them to account.

As the post said...how many times did Allegiant/Spirit/Sun Country get paid more than United.

The answer is never. What a joke that TA was.

Re: When will AI make pilots obsolete or less critical?

Hello, I’ll offer a perspective that’s probably less comforting than what you’ll hear from people already invested in the profession.. but I think it’s important to be honest, especially given your age and the cost of entry. 1. Is flight training a sound long-term investment given AI and AGI? If I w...

Re: Strike outcome desires

Or have your Great Leader preach about unity before they threaten to quit if you voted No, make it an issue of "confidence" and then build a posse of yes men around them to demonize anyone who voted No.

Really sad showing at AC by some people who are still somehow involved.

Re: Recall of MEC Chair & Vice Chair

Then they got those displacements so they can enjoy their 95 hours of pay. Awesome. At least they took care of themselves! At the very least you could keep the retoric correct. A10.09.01. 90 hours. And it is on the low side for ALPA. The average ALPA duty release at other properties is closer to 95...

Re: Recall of MEC Chair & Vice Chair

It's an interesting proposition. Less divisive than 50 pilots, less than 1% of membership, getting 20% (or 30%!) of the vote on the MEC. How many reps does Winnipeg have versus other bases? YVR & YUL have the same amount of voting reps as YWG YUL & YVR have a thousand plus members so 20 times plus ...
