Re: Grievance update for the 285ish former Jazz pilots affected by Flow
Altiplano, your posts are usually well thought out, this post is not that! AC controls every aspect of our collective agreement, we just didn’t know to what extent until recently. Our pay is the result of years of driving down costs with competition we didn’t face before, you know the history of th...

Re: Grievance update for the 285ish former Jazz pilots affected by Flow
Exactly. That's why reaching into another company's seniority list won't happen.Article 4.01.02 contains guidance for a CIRB order. To think a CIRB order for an unfair labour practise would result in another is daft.

Re: Grievance update for the 285ish former Jazz pilots affected by Flow
An arbitrator reaching into another pilot group's seniority list, a group that have nothing to do with you and aren't a party to your contract with your employer that isn't their employer because you have a problem with an item is a pipe dream. That in itself would be unfair labour practises. Maybe ...

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...
