Okay so how Jazz will provide AC with the 60% for the next year?

Barring no changes to the CPA with AC or addition of new business (Transborder CPA), Jazz will be getting smaller and smaller...

Vote closes Jan 31 at 12:00 ET. Expect to hear the result later in the day, certainly after the markets have closed. I am certain you will know the result before you go to bed that night.

I suspect this deal will pass but unlike previous TA votes it is not going to be a slam dunk. There has been in my opinion a sense of urgency in getting the message out, especially to the "B Scale" (or as our MEC prefers to say, post 2015) pilots about the consequences of not voting yes. The topic h...

Voting opens up tomorrow and runs for a week. Results will be known Jan 31.

There is no rush... we have an existing agreement to 2025. True this deal would provide immediate short term improvement. The B scale is effectively bridged at 6 years... so if the intent is to maintain Jazz as a revolving door portal to AC, then compensation will always be low. The problem I have w...

Didn't they recently bring in legislation that protects employees during contract flipping? Depending on how the legislation is worded, I'd imagine pay protection, seniority based on doh, and everybody gets a position they can hold with their seniority. So worst case for ggn pilots would be bumped ...

The Q is already operating into YGK That’s good news! Isn't a great airport for the Q though. Especially in the winter. 100' wide runway..if it's plowed to the edges (limit is 98' for the Q in order to be able to turn around) and 5000' if landing on 19. It's tight... CYGK 01/19 is 6000 ft. There is...

I highly doubt there is a TA being proposed that would run 17 years, that would be nothing short of insane and should be reason enough to vote it down.

Westjet and Encore pilots recently voted to join ALPA, their first Union affiliation. While their first contract is being negotiated, their employer, Westjet, decides to create a wholly owned subsidiary, using B-737-800s running in parallel to Westjet's. Same owner. Same shareholders. Same aircraft...

It has been said over and over again. All those who signed up to work at Jazz on the current CA (Post 2015) knew exactly what they signed up for. (...) Bold and untrue statement. New 2015 CA was ratify somewhere in January or February. And Effective July 1st july 2015. But Jazz held GS in March the...

It has been said over and over again. All those who signed up to work at Jazz on the current CA (Post 2015) knew exactly what they signed up for. When this CA was introduced to the membership all the focus of discussion was on the PML. The negotiating committee/MEC presented this as a crisis situati...

Are the new hires today still getting the DB pension? No. All B scale are on a DC plan. Ineresting. And that comment at the top says a lot about what type of person you are, not only did you take the job but now you’re making thinly veiled threats about my DB pension. So you/senior guys vote to mak...

No.
All B scale are on a DC plan.

You also have to remember that you have to be able to hold a RAIC. If you have been out of country for more than 90 days then you have to ensure that you can obtain whatever security checks from whatever country you have been residing in can be accessed by the RCMP. At the very least it is worth a c...

45 at Bear and 105 at Wasaya, this according to the ALPA mag earlier this year. I would not be overly concered about an exodus to Jazz and someone from elsewhere getting tossed under the bus.

The MEC is a disgrace and it's not the first time they've stabbed the newcomers in the back (ie: the 30% pay raise increase proposal). With a 'brotherhood' like this why even bother with organized labour ? Get me my unions dues back and I'll fight my own wars thank you. The newcomers did not have t...

Can someone explain to me how this is fair to anybody at Jazz? Are you seriously telling me that someone hired at Bearskin can basically walk into a left seat after spending a couple years at a completely different company, jumping over someone who has actually been working at Jazz for several year...

This LOU from what I can see is to provide a means to secure a source of experienced Pilots. All of the Regional's are faced with the same dilemma. Jazz would like nothing more than to move those who currently sit at the top of the pay scale off the list and somewhere else. This was accomplished in ...

If your objective is to move up the seniority list quickly and secure a left seat, then YUL is likely the best place to go and of all the bases probably the cheapest to live in. If you have a family then perhaps a move is not an option but if you are solo, forget commuting, make the move and make th...

I doubt the JAZZ MEC will sanction any change unless there is a benefit to the entire group. What would benefit the group would be elimination of the B scale and introduce a 2 year VSP. Extending the DB plan to those on the DC plan is not likely.

If they cared how we look they wouldn't supply MC hammer suit pants (thankfully this is changing now, although maybe a bit too much to the other extreme). If they had a real uniform fitting like some other airlines, with a tailor and actual adjustments made that would be a start. So many pilots wal...

Newchallenge wrote:Just wondering if Jazz has a PIC under supervision program as provided under the CARs, allowing one to accumulate a certain amount of PIC hours when working towards an ATPL without having upgraded to Captain.

Yes

Will we potentially see some new hires (say within the last 6 months) bid onto new aircraft with this bid? Newer CRJ FO's being bumped to other aircraft? Where will all the RJ Captains go from YYZ if YYC and YVR Q and -8 Captains with much higher seniority bid onto the RJ? The lowest RJ Captain in ...

Ski_bum, how do you figure this will exhaust the Jazz PML? 80% of 280 is 224, the minimum is 495 offers of employment, so far about 100 have been hired leaving a minimum of 400 to go. Some will take the buy out but I don't think that will be as high a number as you think. Even if AC hires 280 in 20...

That is the second time I've heard about the bright future at Jazz once the mechanics ratify their contract. I don't get it; is there something in their tentative agreement that is groundbreaking? All scope issues are locked via the ACPA contract so I don't understand the excitement over the AME co...
