Re: Recruiting Video

Pilots trying to get sympathy by not knowing when they'll retire... making hundreds of thousands a year.
Cry me a river. Pathetic.

Re: CTA launches formal probe into Flair

Flair grew an airline in violation of foreign ownership rules.
They did it knowing they were in violation.
They now need 18 months to "figure it out".
Nope. Good night Flair.
F*ck around and find out.

Re: CTA launches formal probe into Flair

More info has come to light according to a recent story in the Globe and Mail. Flair wants the CTA to grant it exclusive dispensation for 18 months to operate with a competitive advantage unavailable to all others who scrupulously follow Canadian foreign ownership rules. Hmm. What would happen if 6...

Re: Anyone see any parallels?

Transat can fold as an airline and operate solely as a vacation tour company.
Buy seats on WJ.

Zero investment required by WJ.

Re: Will Westjet survive?

All this WestJet optimism is wonderful. Even though it strikes me as a bit delusional. Fact check. 40% of WestJet traffic flows through Alberta. That’s in and out of Alberta. When they’re back in the sky they’ll be starting with close to a 40% drop in domestic traffic. Ouch! That’s going to impact ...

Re: WS/WO Layoff Mitigation Agreement

WestJet pilots are nothing but a bunch of whining babies nowadays. Nothing is good enough, everything is always bad. You guys are lucky to have jobs right now - every other group has taken massive hits and you're still left relatively standing.

It won't be 787.
787 will only do flying out of YVR, YYC, YYZ.

Re: SWOOP OTS Captains punted from left seat...

Check your procedures gentleman. The only time a pilot at WS is required to groom is when they are travelling under the employee standby promise which is the umbrella for the "assume you'll groom." NOWHERE in our COM / FOM etc does it require any grooming. It is also why our MEC has expected exactl...

So you are saying it’s ironic for Encore pilots to have an opinion on a thread like this? Are you implying that Encore pilots lowered the bar? Last I checked we had nothing to do with our current pay standards. There are many of us here fighting to get better WAWCON. I believe the majority of Encor...

Re: WestJet pilots to fly Swoop aircraft

How so? Personally, a red pass is required for safety. Anyone can get a job at wj, get their wj id day 1 and hop in a jumpseat. If I can’t show my family where I work, I’m not showing a stranger. How so? Nobody gave you the right to decide who flies jump - there's a policy in place that decides who...

Re: They were going to lock everyone out and shut the doors?

I still find it very hard to believe that CB and/or the bod would "shut down" the airline. A very successful profitable airline shut down and closing shop over this? In my opinion Westjet has played alpa good. But I am also glad to see this come to an end. Everyone can move on and keep the airline(...

Re: They were going to lock everyone out and shut the doors?

I mentioned this when the strike vote happened but a strike vote is not a just a negotiation tool, as was repeated here a few times. It has real and immediate consequences to the company. WestJet was losing millions in bookings under the threat of a strike. Did the pilot group really think that Wes...

Re: Exit Polls Showing Over 90% Strike Mandate Support

Apparently the 787 will be revealed tomorrow...good timing with the pilot picket tomorrow as well. Good timing? It's a great way to build resentment against the pilot group sure. That feeling is growing outside of the FA and pilot ranks. Take that to the bank. Leaders in the company? Not anymore.
