Also, many simply can't afford it. Do you realize how bad starting pay is at AC? It's literally poverty Exaggerations like this don't help your case though. It's bad, but it's not poverty. Sorry?? Where do you live that 58k/yr isn't poverty? Especially with a mortgage, or a car payment, or kids, or...

So, if someone puts a loaded gun into the hands of a criminal and that criminal kills somebody robbing a bank, does the gun supplier bear any responsibility? ACPA was the accessory to the criminal that is AC management, the gun was permission use someone other than Jazz to do tier two flying and th...

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...

That's the cost if ALL the trips combined. 8 years of trips. They say "August Trip" because it was always in August. According to the documents the cost of the trips ballooned from $111,875 in 2006 to $535,095 in 2013... Over the eight-year timeframe, the PCO spent $1.24 million on the northern trip...

Second FO spot? Surely they would have to run an augment Captain?

Or maybe we are going to be the first airline with 737 RPs?

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.

Exactly. That's why reaching into another company's seniority list won't happen.

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 ...

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...

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...

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.

You got your quote function mixed up. I didn't write that.

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...

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...

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.

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...

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...
