Any info on who VK holdings is/are?

Actually the complaint had nothing to do with departures/parkbrake; rather the aircraft doors were being opened prior to the beacon being turned off - implying that the doors were being opened with either the engines still runing or the parkbrake not being set. The pilot, an F/O, thereafter filed a...

Voted...and no I'm not telling tee hee.

Agreed. I for one need to chill out

5yr=X
Training outside the window=X
pay scales=X
wet lease=X
stock options=X

WTF is right! The beginning of the end is here.

We'll just have to see.

The cost of living increases are great...how about the 5% that everyone else got last year to bring the salary bands to industry standard? :D Well, everyone else except some of the people in this article: Globe and Mail: March 14,2009 Wow, those people in the article work for Westjet? :prayer: I gu...

The cost of living increases are great...how about the 5% that everyone else got last year to bring the salary bands to industry standard? We'll just have to see. I consider a 5 year agreement a bit on the greedy side too though. Until I know more, I'm going to reserve judgement instead of making th...

I don't mind a five year deal. they addressed your concerns express. You will see why this week! 50 k to start now (first year) plus an average of 8 percent profit share and 10k share match should put you over 65 k first year. not bad. I hope so bro. I have enough stock already! Please no more stoc...

I for one am very skeptical of the new agreement. 5 years is an automatic no. No years of service. No options of 0%. If any of these rumours are true, we'll be voting again in the summer. I hope I'm wrong.

The lost art of hands and feet...

modesty is a virtue that i respect in a person congratulations on turning a profit guys but if i were a former canjet, zoom, cargojet or jazz captain i might consider your posts distasteful perhaps a different venue is more suitable for your celebration Welcome to the internet. They're discussing W...

Trucks Rule!!!

There's some real hotties in the restaurant in Regina.

anyone know how much was put aside for profit share in Q3??? Revised estimates???

how much is profit sharing going to be this november compared to last? anyone have an educated guess???

Ohhh, I didn't see where in your post you made reference to North American carriers. :roll: CONTINENTAL MAY 2008 2007 Change REVENUE PASSENGER MILES (000) Domestic 3,792,761 3,949,056 -4.0 Percent International 3,567,213 3,334,158 7.0 Percent AVAILABLE SEAT MILES (000) Domestic 4,495,504 4,678,730 ...

There's no money in long haul right now. It would be a big mistake at this time. I think they'll reassess the economics of it all in a few years. Don't hold your breath. WTF? No money in long haul? Quarter after quarter who are the most succesful airlines worldwide? Cathay, Singapore Airlines, ANZ,...

I don't know why the 787 comes up in every topic. There's no money in long haul right now. It would be a big mistake at this time. I think they'll reassess the economics of it all in a few years. Don't hold your breath.

Years of service will never happen, the cost to the company would be tremendous, especially if it retro-active. Plus I think there is little incentive from most of the pilots to actually try and negotiate this. Instead I think we should look as extending the FO pay scale, as well as the captain sca...

YES. The stock options are crap.
1. 0%
2. 2-3%/year increase
3. years of service
4. more straight forward ovetime trigger's

YVR chris (potato!) : SOB pm me, you changed your number dude...

IMHO, there'll be bases within 5 years. The port system isn't working that well and there obviously is not enough will to make it work beyond the token system that it currently is (not quite sure why, maybe that signal's a disconnect between upper management and line crew). There'll be a few ports a...

...they are firmly still encamped together. Don't kid yourself. There's probably a webcam out there in someone's smoke lodge to verify it.
