I believe that the Executives are genuinely interested in reining costs now in preparation for the years ahead. If that means seeking a concessionary contract I don't know… What I do know is that many walls and barriers and internal "politics" has made WJ inefficient. Doing anything takes ages inste...

When does the Canjet contract expire? April 30, 2014?

CanadaEH, I'm confused are you saying that pilots will go days without food? I highlighted the part that says you "can't" claim the deduction if you are reimbursed and yes per diems would be considered being reimbursed. Also of note, the government doesn't like to advertise, but as of approximately...

You are given a per diem, regardless of whether you eat. You can't claim that.

What does flow look like when wodebodies Are added?

I think you guys should get over yourselves.

If you paint an entire airline on the basis of a single poster I wouldn't consider you much of a professional, either.

That doesn't give you a free pass to be a douchebag.

Then who gets to fly that shiny new Q400 parked in YYJ?

Is it broken again?

I have to ask - what are you attempting to add to the discussion? I get it - you don't like Encore. That's fine. But really.. must you troll every single comment in every single thread?

WestJet has not leased the south facility.

Well clearly with results like these management needs you all to be working an extra day a month. Clearly with results like these it is impossible for them to pay Encore pilots a decent living wage. Jesus guys, if this is the crap your management tries to finagle when times are this good, has anyon...

Don't feed the troll. Note to anyone outside of WJ: There are already predetermined base moves from WestJet to Encore. Yes - it's going to happen and don't stand on your soapbox and say "Aha! I told you so". At the same time of these transitions, WestJet will be growing with new routes, new cities, ...

I would also like to ask about certain parts of their financial statements. Like every airline, they seem to have a different way of interpreting their financial data and, as with every airline, it is sometimes hard to read into. But when I have spent sometime trying to dissect them, I wonder why i...

Should also mention pilots & FA's bought half of the available carts from what I hear.

It's quite sad that this is even an issue. It's embarrassing. I think WJ underestimated the amount of people that would be interested, especially at the price they were selling at. Had they been $75 the FA's would be saying how they can't afford it and how they're being ripped off. Had there only be...

Inverted - the same inverted whose girlfriend at the time (WestJet CSA) had her hours reduced when Westjet cut its daily flights down to once per day? That's always irked you. Must've been PACTs fault....

You want a sample of pairings with just 2 aircraft? Things will only get more efficient as more aircraft are brought online, I would expect?

I guess the 7 pages of union stuff in the other thread is keeping it internal, huh?

Our pilot group has always done a great job at keeping internal politics and discussions internal. Why is this becoming a public discussion?

2 delivered initially, 7 total by year end (June (2), Aug, Sept, Oct, Nov, Dec deliveries).

Rumor is false.

While the WJPA has not satisfied me in recent history we have it very very good, take a look around.

And that's just it - isn't it? Nothing is perfect but we (all employee groups, I think) have it very good compared to our peers in the industry. Great post.

AC was ordered to pay $5,375.95.

A couple that flew AC recently sued AC because they weren't offered 7-Up in French....... for $575,000!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

really?.....come on guys are you that afraid? is it that big of a deal?

Afraid? No. I don't think this is the proper venue to be discussing what I know and what I believe to know about PACT/WJPA, WestJet, and the benefit/salary review processes.

I think you are seriously misinformed about how things work at PACT/WJPA. It would seem there is a misconception and you are pointing that out. Perhaps you could offer information about how things do work at PACT/WJPA instead of just pointing out people are wrong. I don't think I need to educate an...
