That was just to funny ! A bit of sunshine ! No matter what side of the issue you are on.....You had to enjoy that. There is so much talent and imagination within the whole pilots group....I /we thank you for this JayDee !!

Hi Mamba, Since no one seem willing to answer your question...I'll come out of lurking. :oops: At the last Tribunal, Air Canada stated that the average age of the new hires was 34. Good luck.............Just remembering how excited i was when i received the phone call......good memories. Max111 Befo...

I was part of the 243 pilots that were laid off..and yes the senior pilots all over the system took a large pay cut [% of flying pay] to keep us flying....a much greater amount than junior FO's. They also agree to a second round of pay cuts to keep us from being laid off but Hollis Harris [CEO at th...

600RVR, No offense meant...but seriously you have no idea what you are taking about. It is not entirely your fault...the union has only presented one side of the question. Mandatory retirement is not allowed under the provincial labour code period. But common sense will tell you that is only part of...

LATEST NEWS Issue 51 September 22, 2010 “Mandatory Retirement Update” In our last bulletin regarding mandatory retirement, we let you know that given recent court decisions, it was our expectation that Air Canada would be reviewing its mandatory retirement policy. We also committed to seeking legal ...

I think one of the sad things about this possible agreement is that it very confrontational to our fellow pilots at Jazz ....not withstanding that some of them are trying to sue us. It would appear that the MEC believes it knows what's best for us. Why can't we build bridges. Collectively, the profe...

Why don't you call the Air Canada doctor...If you need the name ....let me know.

Hmmmmmmm...You do have a sense of humour, I liked that!
But appears you need some help on your math skills.

So lets see Calgary Guy..........It wasn't about the money....... approximately $100,000.00. Then maybe it could be about "character".............Ahhhh, no that couldn't be it...thats impossible...You must be right !

So i guess it wasn't about the money !!

I would love to answer your questions....and i have for these past five years..and its makes no difference....There are solutions out there that would benefit all...they have been presented ad infinitum. It's a waste of time.

Since you're part of the brain trust of the MEC.........Why are they paying him the 777 rate.......Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmm.....Don't let that worry you.

You really believe that will happen ???

The evidence presented at the Tribunal by way of subpoena, not hearsay, was that all big and small airlines in Canada allow their pilots to fly to 65 and some beyond One of the amazing things that happened at the latest Tribunal was that all the airlines that Air Canada subpoenaed allow their pilots...

Yes ...You are right....They do and did draw a line in the sand regarding reinstatement. It was agreed among the parties that Air Canada would have a three month window before pilots would be allowed to return due to a number of rule changes. It was also agreed that this time period would not apply ...

Today, the federal government Minister for Seniors, Ms. Diane Ablonczy, issued a statement indicating that the federal government is planning to eliminate mandatory retirement in the federal sector. A Canadian Press summary of the statement can be found at: http://dailygleaner.canadaeast.com/rss/art...

It's been very quiet here.....Realize that as a group we are very divided...so maybe the solidarity and the tentative agreement of the Jazz pilots have left us speechless.....


Anyway...Happy Canada Day !!

Thanks for the spell check.............Just my opinion but i believe the majority wants this....not only the senior 777 Captains........The 51% would include pilots that realize that the world has changed and this is a rights issue................Anyway be well....Max111

Yes! Because the roles might be reversed next spring perhaps. Maybe it is time to bury the hatchet and support fellow colleagues looking to better work conditions? How about supporting the 25% to 51 % of the active pilots that want to have the option to fly past 60...ops forgot.....You're very sele...

I and "We" have answered these four questions many, manyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy times. It never makes a difference, so the time has come to leave it alone....Let the Courts decide.

Regards,

Max111

Where is "yycflyguy".........No apologies ??

600RVR No offense meant...But you have no clue as to what you are talking about ! The collective "We" have been telling "you" for years what is happening and ways to lessen the impact...if any....but you want what you want. The senior pilots have been helping the junior pilots all these years....but...

Sad to see that you can't read........Like most of your posts its 100% Buffalo Burgers. These are from ACPA's actuaries..........But don't let the facts get in the way of a good rant. It is the text of our pension plans that currently includes the language for mandatory retirement, which is included...
