I very much enjoy your historical recollection and photos. I have shared them with Gary Wieben (Mr. Wiebens grandson),One of our pilots at WestJet.I call him Porky whenever I cross his path.

Wow, that is a great shot. I started my career in YPL and know Al and Tony well. I was a generation after them but always appreciated their great stories. One that stands out, is Al’s recollection of the demise of Pat Air. It all happened in the span of a month with two crashes in one day and then t...

Was the public info from these guys?

GROOMING UPDATE: JANUARY 11, 2019 The Pilots’ contract which came into effect just before the holidays has caused some impact on the line directly impacting Flight Attendants. Following the advice of their own union, Pilots are completing their safety duties before “volunteering” to assist with gro...

John, wtf are refering ro the wjpa was trying to negioate 1 for 1 scope with swoop....I was under the impression they had no idea of its existence? Cloak, our ALPA negot team tried for over 9 months to do exactly what you said, negioate with managment who no showed them most of the time or would sh...

He will be missed. A friend texted this to me today. Fitting and true!

That’s only if you’re eligible for apilicable tax credits. See note 2 on website. Pilots should stick to flying and saving money. Both of which they are good at.

When your tax rates reach over 50% of the dollar YOU earn; there is something Wrong with the tax laws. In Ontario, 52.5% goes to Little Justin and Catherine. Neither has the slightest clue of anyone that actually works for a living. I wonder how Justin survives on his daddy's trust funds. That's th...

Not sure why at every airline I have worked at, Pilots think they are all at the top of turd island and should always get top dollar and be looked at as the highest level as of everyone in the company. Tough sh!t. Put your head down and do your job. You don’t like it, Go else where. You want to tur...

Your comments are more relevant to a bubble Philosophy of communism than reality.

Well WestJet has long done a masterful job of controlling the media, just witness today's CBC headline: IMG_3930.PNG No, I would say that the people’s airline, the equivilant of a flying CBC has done a masterful job of controlling the media and hammering our stock price today. You mad bro... Yah th...

I'm not sure who you speak for but it's definitely not "AC" pilots. I don't think any AC pilot wants to see a WJ colleague suffer. In fact I think every professional pilot in Canada is hoping they get their scope figured out which will in turn help the entire industry. If you don’t have a dog in th...

Great post. Don’t think for a second that AC pilots are not loving WJ pilot turmoil. Remember they had a rumour going around that they would join ALPA too? What happened to that game plan? Must have been more of a playbook than a gameplan. They would love nothing more than to see WJ burn to the gro...

I also grew up in a mining town. Heavily unionized town. My parents and grandparents worked for the company. I remember strikes and family’s suffering. These companies had big pockets and made large margins depending on the London metals exchange. Our industry has slim margins. Very slim margins. So...

This decision never NEVER would have happened with the WJPA at the helm. They wouldn’t have fought that battle. Thank you MEC and ALPA. G Maybe the WJPA wouldn’t have had to fight that battle in the first place. Maybe Westjet pilots would have been given the flying. Collaboration compared to what a...

Why don't you guys keep the internal sh!t internal. You make all Wj pilots on both sides of the debate look like idiots carrying on like this. Who are you trying to convince here, the kid flying a beaver in Butthole, NWT who is trying to figure out how to apply to Encore? Seriously. grow the f-up a...
