Re: Grievance update for the 285ish former Jazz pilots affected by Flow

All the best of luck on this, but what a ridiculous deal, pay cuts from your employer now and scorched into the future so you can have an increased chance of going to another employer. Seems a little tricky to me. No group should get an advantage on service date or pay progess, show up and get on th...

Re: Emirates or Air Canada

I’ve a few friends currently at EK and 15 M doesn’t sound too outrageous with compound interest and if a very aggressively well managed group portfolio is taken into consideration… TPC If you invested $26,500 a month, every month, for 25 years and realized an average return of 5% compounding throug...

Re: Emirates or Air Canada

15 million saved? In 25 years? You'd have to sock away/have your investments perform to a tune of an average of $600,000/yr in accumulation. That doesn't sound realistic.

Re: How long until you hear back from AC?

Are you suggesting waiting until you hit at least 3000tt? No. I would apply the day you hit the minimum requirements listed on their employment site. I just wouldn't expect to get hired at the minimum. Total experience is an issue right now. AC is reactive and right now they are reacting to Transpo...

Re: How long until you hear back from AC?

HR is probably doing ritual dances and sacrifices praying that people with more experience apply. No doubt they are scratching their heads and wondering where the 5000 and 6000 hour pilots with large airline command experience and jet time went. But I doubt they are doing a single thing about it ot...

Re: WORLD CLASS CONTRACT: ALPA

And this MEC is doing the lifting.

Most pilots are doing the work it takes. Expectations and unity have never been higher.

Look at the resources we are seeing from ALPA. We've never had a more prepared N C or better communications.

A World Class Contract is ours to lose. We decide.

Re: Is the ACPA Motto: "We will get'em next time" gone?

Serious question. So the BOD told management that the priority was to “ protect the summer.” Makes sense. So my question is, would it be possible for us to go on strike in June when we have the most financial leverage? My read of this mediation is the earliest we could strike is Aug. Is this the ca...

Re: What does it really take to make a career destinaton

They had no regard for a safety culture beyond lip service and completely inadequate training... Anecdotally, that's 90%+ of non-705 commercial air service in this country. Too bad Transport is too busy hiding behind SMS to notice. Nothing screams "career destination" more than having some ignorant...

Re: What does it really take to make a career destinaton

I don't care about work beyond safety above all and then quality of life, and pay mostly that order so I can enjoy my life away from work. This. But I would argue that these three things are all actually safety. If you have no quality of life, you will be stressed and fatigued. If you aren't paid p...

Re: What does it really take to make a career destinaton

Safety. It's all safety. In my early years at this job I watched as a bunch of friends and colleagues died around me flying 703. It was pretty sketchy... As I moved up to larger turbine aircraft I felt safer, but as I got more experience and my eyes opened wider I no longer did. Inadequate maintenan...

That's it. Behave like United and Delta if you want United and Delta like results. It's really fucking easy. The MEC has asked everyone to do something very very simple here: wear the lanyard.

Re: So over at TransAt.......PAY ATTENTION!

No deal is better than bringing forward a bad deal. With the amount of work we have tasked this NC with, it's no surprise that this takes a lot of time. I think we all know how deficient the AC Pilot contract is and in how many areas. Also, look to the South, United took a couple years to get a deal...
