My post is in response to the comments in the article that suggests that Canjet's apllications have put in a "strong negotiating position" and that Transat is in a "tough" position. Sometimes those kind of corporate manoeuvres backfire. Hopefully, for the hundreds of employees of Air Transat that wi...

Hopefully, canjet has done us at Transat a Big Favour!!!!

FAs have voted in Favour of concessions in support of Air Transat operating a Narrow Body Fleet!!

I work at Air Transat and have for a long time. We operated the Virgin 737s for a couple of winters and Star Airlines 320s for one winter. Those ops had nothing to do with our ability to run a profitable Narrowbody fleet but rather it was to help out a sister company in Europe that had no work for t...

Wow!! It always amazes me how things can be understood so differently.When I listen to what the man says, it is clear to me that because Air Transat has 3 A310s on a power by the hour lease and because they are fully crewed, there is the ability to easily adjust capacity as the market fluctuates. In...

I can see TS buying Thomas Cook Canada and letting the Jazz contract run its course like they have in the past when they have purchased a tour operator. After all these years,TS has always made it clear that they have absolutely no interest in domestic operations. A Canjet purchase is a more realist...

Relax Boys! I never said anything about Canjet losing their contract with Transat next year. My posts refer to us at Air Transat operating 737-800s. The process is underway now.The pilot group is presently negotiating and the FA's are next. The word is by the summer of 2011 or at the earliest next w...

Mr. Eustache denied the model was broken, and said the company was already developing a plan to bounce back next winter. Although he declined to give any details of that plan for strategic reasons, he said Read more: http://www.montrealgazette.com/business/fp/Transat%20strategy%20didn%20work/2672409...

"The changes coming have a lot more to do Transat Corporate business strategy and positioning themselves and their products in a structure that will be able to compete effectively with their Main competitors now and in the future than ALPA concerns about foreign pilots.Do you really think JME will s...

Personally ,I do not feel Canjet has been slagged on this thread. I do not like the fact that Canjet is doing "our" work and in particular many flights that we operated in the past. It's not the fault of CJ's employees that the company is doing traditional Air Transat work. If the shoe was on the ot...

My post has nothing to do with the ALPA article and as a matter of fact I have not even read it yet. It is from information being provided by the company and sources within the company.The changes coming have a lot more to do Transat Corporate business strategy and positioning themselves and their p...

Canjet has 4 737's contracted to Transat until 2013,the other 10 "Flex" machines can be replaced by Transat at their discretion.We will operate 5 permanent and 5 flex machines that will summer in Europe eventually.Sounds like 2013 could be Canjet's last year doing our work if things go out as planne...

There is stuff going on. 16 yul mechanics going on 737 course and in house courses start in june 2010. It is going to happen but lots of things have to be in place before the birds are on the ramp

10 Birds and many unhappy and disappointed passengers.It is called controlling your product that has taken so many years to build up.Anyway, I am sure Canjet will still provide some lift, just not 14 Birds worth.Ultimately, it is the big guys decision and apparently he is not happy with everything.I...

If you work at AT, haven't you signed a letter about confidentiality?

I do work at AT and I did not sign a confidentiality agreement

A321 does not have the legs we need. The Canjet contract has a 30 day cancellation clause in it just like the Westjet contract had. The word at Air Transat is Transat AT has recently cancelled 60000 seats with Canjet.The wonderful world of vacation Travel. I have to disagree with your theory of a 3...

and 737-800s

Word from someone in the know is that the company is considering over the long term to eventually have Canjet or another operator slowly takeover the widebody flying at a much lower crew cost. Like the narrowbody's, when TS doesn't need them, it is the other operators problem to find more work. Tha...

Hey Invertedattitude!! I take exception to your comment "I say the Canjet guys are living the dream, living in the best part of the country standard of living wise, and flying transport category aircraft, and working with hands down the most professional and friendly people in the industry." I am fr...
