Re: How will you spend your ratification pay?
That one went so far over your head... No, the position will be eliminated because you placed no value on it. If you don't value it, you can bet the company doesn't and will invest in lobbying regulators to eliminate it. And for the years leading up to that elimination you may as well be alone caus...

Re: To our furloughed pilots
I’m surprised they settled it and those 12 should be mad as hell, that is the part I find ridiculous and a huge F you. AC could have garnered some good will if they just included all of them, so yes it was a win. They don't want good will they want to demoralize. This is the company that wants to e...

Re: Encore's TA2 with some numbers
Respectfully, that’s a pretty simplistic and revisionist history take on that time period and that contract at AC for someone who wasn’t on property. You’ve been around long enough and should know that. -Jimmy Fair comment. Care to expand how it’s simplistic and revisionist? It was only an example ...

Re: Encore's TA2 with some numbers
I don't get it, are you for or against pilots getting significant increases? JBI's facts and logic are good, but the reality is that pilot groups have been driven by fear for far, far too long in this country... And this is a perfect statement that shows that. Nobody had ever gotten anywhere withou...

Re: Socialized bidding
We typically run between 85-90% satisfaction scores. The satisfaction score is the number of points you get divided by the maximum number of points you could get if you were awarded everything you want. So basically, on average, you're getting 85-90% of what you bid. I'm curious for those in senior...

Re: Ten year deal
It is indeed complicated, however… Is your new AIP not good enough to to retain jr WJ pilots? What about flow from encore? Not good enough to attract them either? You raise a good point. I don't know the reasons for why younger pilots choose AC over WJ but my guess is that the upgrade times play a ...

Re: Ten year deal
Fact is, there is a growing & worsening pilot shortage. There are simply not enough pilots to meet demand. Jazz is shrinking.

Re: Agreement in Principle reached
I hope they are, but 15% generally won't cut it from the wage tables I've seen. 145 ish YR 1 CA at WJ 175 ish YR 1 CA at AC. First year FO a different story. I do hope the gains are better than they sound though! No one makes YR 1 CA at WJ though, with YOS, most WJ pilots start at about YR 10 CA Ex...

Re: ACPA LOA?
Pilots account for roughly 5-10% of variable costs. Adding overhead costs makes that less than 10% overall. Any savings the company can get from pilots is a cherry on top in relation to other potential cost saving areas. AC needs your cooperation for the planned growth next summer. Don’t think ther...

So you guys are all convinced AC will be back at the table to offer more if their MOA gets voted down?

So exactly what kind of "gains" where or are you expecting, what would be considered a reasonable gain at this point?

Re: ACPA LOA?
The 17 year deal at Jazz that you are sh!!ting on included a 60% flow and a max 10% PFO rate. Prior to that Jazz people were PFO’d at a much higher rate. The JAZ MEC used bargaining capital to increase flow that you have clearly used to make it to the NHL. So you might want to thank the ALPA Canada...
