No, the bump down language in the PTA can cause layoffs at Encore.

I think it’s funny that people think that the PTA is bad for the airline industry. Isn’t this just building unity? Management groups are scared shitless of a unified pilot group. I think I’m the long run, this will raise the bar for Canadian aviation. I think we have a better shot of getting more fa...

And as far as cancelling flights and stranding passengers, every airline has had its share at one point or another, especially Air Canada, including very recently. This just to add perspective. Now, speculation is easy and here's another! It is rather clear that WestJet group as a whole is worth mo...

Details will not be out until after the MEC meeting on April 17-18.

If you are looking for a faster upgrade time, sunwing is probably a better place to go. As far as a career airline, personally I would be apprehensive to go to sunwing. Sunwing is a hotel/resort company that happens to operate airplanes. To the best of my knowledge, they don’t operate airplanes as e...

A couple nights ago I heard a pilot correct himself after saying empress instead of swoop a couple times and then after landing I saw a Canadian North airplane at a gate. Is Canadian north doing uplift for swoop? Swoop had to charter Canadian North because nobody would pick up OT in irrops. Can’t s...

If the company decides to axe the one list, it will cause major problems for them. I know many Encore pilots that will have an “anywhere but here” approach if the one list disappears. People will be leaving for 703/704 jobs vs staying with Encore. As mentioned above, Encore will be the last option f...

It was definitely time for change at the Canada Board.

Well, Jazz passed the BS TA. Thanks for fu#%ing the rest of the regionals in Canada for years to come.

If it makes you feel better, I'm at Sky and still haven't been officially told we're ALPA yet. I found out on here lol If you are subscribed to the ALPA emails, there has been lots of communication on the changes to the national officers and the Canada Board. Most people skim over these emails anyw...

I don't really see anything concretely indicating the status of the "one list". The 7 page release has one mere line indicating: >"One-List" LOU to preserve status quo re: Encore flow/seniority recognition is in progress Just prior to that it mentions that all Encore pilots that have already flowed...

“An adult man”

I'm posting the following on every thread in which John Swallow has raised the issue of seniority at ALPA, because it's pretty devastating to his "case": I don't know why I didn't think to actually do it earlier, but I finally decided to stop taking Mr Swallow at his word that the references he was...

There are 19 votes, which includes my 1 vote. I'm not trying to game the system. I am sincerely curious how people think things will turn out. Nothing here will influence the result of the arbitration, nor will it change the facts of the situation. The rules remain the rules, and the MEC's of both ...

Encore is in the process of bringing a PICUS program in now. It should be in place in the next few months. If I were you, I would just write the Aa’s, because you will need them anyways.

How dare you! HOW DARE YOU!! You willfully participated in this mess, this fiasco, ignoring the (very simple to understand) message I had and you now have the gall to criticize me because I posted (without identifying the author) from the forum where no one ever gets answers??? How dare you! John B...

RidersRule, not to put you on the spot, but since you are so keen on this conversation contrary to my usual practice I share with you that generally speaking angry is one who constantly uses a profane and vulgar language, because one cannot "win" with reasonable debate. That's the other thing, one ...

Cloak, you keep comparing Encore to Swoop. There are some major differences on how these two companies were formed. Encore was voted in by the employees, and swoop was formed by the company. You also compare the job that I took at Encore to an OTS hire at swoop. I’m just not buying your bullshit.

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...

How long to hear back from in person interview? Interviewed end of August and haven’t heard anything. Do they PFO sooner rather than later? Thanks in advance. I waited 6 1/2 weeks for a PFO. Those who interviewed around the same time as me got the “application on hold” email. They have since been g...
