Re: Air Canada and Transat announce Updated Purchase Price at $5 per share

It’s funny how a handful of individuals, on either side of this proposed transaction although unverifiable because of their posting under anonymous handles, seem to think they represent the majority of their respective colleagues’ opinions...

Re: Air Canada and Transat announce Increased Purchase Price to $18 per Share

Transport Canada’s report is still on Minister Garneau’s desk, and the EU Competition Board (or whatever name...) are still evaluating the dossier.

How can the offer not be extended?

Re: Transat revenues drop by 99%, with 2,000 layoffs expected

Call me crazy, but buying a 750M house in which there’s a safe containing 576.4M cash with a garage full of cheap efficient airplanes with many more coming still seems a somewhat good proposition to me...

Re: Air Canada and Transat announce Increased Purchase Price to $18 per Share

Should be an interesting situation too - Is it really a recall when no one has been laid off yet? I heard from a buddy that since technically everyone there is collecting their meager CEWS, nobody is laid off. Does that mean that the current 321 pilots get called out of inactive status to work even...

Oh man .. you're not kidding sanjet. I'd buy Transat just to watch the pilot beat themselves to death ..
Surely you mean just two or three pilots... and they’re all on this forum. Never heard that kind of speech on the line or meetings!

Re: Air Canada and Transat announce Increased Purchase Price to $18 per Share

Why arent they calling them then? Hmm. Could it be because the program hasn’t even been officially approved yet?

You do realize many of us have been there for well over 20 years and are also close to retirement but not quite ready to pull the plug? Our #1 is a founding member (1987) who still has 5 years of flying ahead of him, and he’s getting a layoff notice like the rest of us If they have been there 20 ye...

Buying an airline that has completely ceased operations isn't what CR signed for.

If this deal doesn't fully unravel, it will certainly take a new appearance.
Actually, I wouldn’t be surprised if CR actually had something to do with that decision...

Re: DOH merge.

Overall if all goes ideally, no one will ever notice a reduction in seniority % or upgrade times if affected. Most, if not all should benefit especially in a new contract. I'm sure when the MECs sit down and crunch the numbers to reflect this most can breathe easy. I'm very certain no one at AC wil...
