Will be interesting is to see how they "register" these planes....

The ones being repainted are keeping their WJ civil registration which is still owned by "WestJet" after a quick search online and there is no operating certificate under a name of Swoop.

If it's a slam dunk then ALPA would have applied for common employer on day 1. The CIRB has clearly ruled before that it's not enough for the two companies to be owned by the same parent to trigger common employer. It's not as black and white as you make it out and a common employer ruling is unlik...

It's time for someone else to retire.

What's the point in even conversing with certain aliases anymore when they can't/won't answer direct questions, their position is a rare one (even the most anti-alpa pilots have come around in the past few weeks) and finally, when they display signature traits of Trump level narcissism. Having diffe...

... "Swoop won't replace WestJet flying" they said. Replace = "take place of". Look up YXX-YWG this summer and see who's flying it. Swoop is replacing Westjet flying. ... Although it cannot always be taken too literally, meaning one has to consider the total aggregate. While one route might be give...

After three failed airlines, this company has given me continued employment for 15+ years. I was hired by WJ, and I am paid by WJ. I did note vote for ALPA, I am not a member of ALPA. The law says I do not have to obey any orders ALPA issues to its members. My loyalty resides completely and unequiv...

Going to be a tense few weeks around here but it is ALL worth it. Company showing up to 2/6 of the days in the conciliation period. Company breaking the law and having their wrist slapped by the CIRB. Company saying Swoop will be good for us all. Even promising faster upgrades at one point. "Swoop w...

Cams memo (last year) also said Swoop would be good for our career growth.

And from the company could mean from a union busting firm. As long as they paid for it, it’s theirs.

I really don’t care which url’s you own/have owned but we should all be asking ourselves why the ownership information to this domain is being hidden.... Especially considering the company has a page full of url’s the own (Including westjetsucks.com). Why would they all of a sudden decide to not be ...

It is still absolutely amazing someone thinks the company has their back when we have friends and co-workers out there trying to represent us. You/I are nothing to the BOD, execs, etc. They'd pay us in biscoff cookies if they could. See confessions of a union buster. Word for word - what is happenin...

I have a suspicion it's one of our own actually behind the website. JS mentioned the $$$ he'd received to "bust" us and has been responsible for the creation of many websites in the past. WJ claims ownership to the site in the about section but if you run a Whois search on the URL, the owner's regis...

I am unable to comment on the CSA’s as I have not been able to find any comments anywhere about what they will be doing. If history repeats we will see a Swoop base pay structure for them if it does not already exists. CSA in YXX said many of them are being let go.... CSA work for Swoop is going to...

Some people need to be involved. It doesn't matter how they feel or what they deep down believe, they just want to be a part of something. Some have a mouth that gets them in a tiny bit of trouble and come online with their tail between their legs admitting they need the resources of a real/professi...

Does the number just send you to the DK desk like the WJPA number did???

A Hint is to start by telling the truth in the weekly reports and you might win a few of us back

Can you back that statement up with proof/facts?

I’d say the company (to date) has been much more dishonest then the mec.

My lunch money is on one of his usernames being a moderator on the site. Would explain the multitude of user names and the change of original poster on this specific thread.

The lease return is another example of the CEO playing fast and loose with the truth. From the analysts call, 10 2-2.5 year old 737-800NG’s are going from WestJet to Swoop. These are not tails that we’re going back to the lessors anytime soon, we just reconfigured them for our new interiors, they a...

The plane being able to fly itself is just one piece of a very large puzzle. Airports will need to be upgraded to help these planes navigate the ground, air traffic control networks will need to be updated to allow them to essentially control aircraft movements, the public will have to be convinced....

P.S. ALPA member or not, you'll be paying the union dues once a contract is in place. So you are only harming yourself by not being involved in the process in a constructive manner. Rushed or not, we will need to vote on it after.

At first I was going to say JS, but he uses punctuation. ALPA can't take their time to negotiate when the company ISN'T SHOWING UP to negotiating sessions and are breaking Canada Labour Code to disrupt the process. Have you taken the time to ask a member of the LEC/MEC if ALPA is pushing for these s...

Edited.

Did you bite your tongue?

So again NCP Today, January 31, a memo was released publicly giving WS pilots a 2 year leave. So you have been given permission to "Swoop" on over to swoop. Will you finally put up, or will you finally shut up? You asked for a leave. You got one. Enjoy the ULCC With the working 20+ days a month com...

NCP You never responded to my post wrt getting a LOA to go help start swoop. You stated earlier that you would like to be part of the start up ( or at the very least buy the swoop pilot a coffee). Have you changed your mind now? He won't respond. He posts just enough to stir the pot then backs out ...
