Yes very happy to be here. With the consensus among the CFALPA execs being SW has the best overall working conditions in the country, we have a lot to be thankful for.

Rogerdodger, If we look at Sunwing; I really wonder what will happen next summer. As you probably know, all the pilots who went to Europe this year won't be allowed next summer. There is no magical issue and don't expect a last minute issue as we had last april. The law is clear and the licence val...

Blah blah blah,
What are you going to do with your time once licence recognition between TC and EASA is a reality. It's coming don't fool yourself!

Your making the mistake of assuming the add is to obtain LMO. You're wrong again. It's to hire Quebec based pilots.

Ok, so it's ok for Gilles and people like him to post slanderous accusations and misinformation in an attempt to slam a competitor to his employer, but I call this site the TMZ of aviation and you slam me?!? My point is there is so much misinformation and lies posted as fact, it's like a tabloid rag...

If you need to read posts on this forum to keep up on aviation in Canada, I feel sorry for you. This is the TMZ of aviation.

Because they want to hire pilots that live in Quebec.

How is that an informative post?

No one is upset Gilles,
Just don't see the point of this thread. It's ridiculous. All of this info is readily available. This thread is SW bashing, nothing more nothing less. Because you and your flock have nothing else to say, this gets started. It's a none issue, like most of your arguments.

What is the point of this thread? All of this is public knowledge. Anyone who wants to know about the fleet can look it up. This thread is nothing but another attempt to slam SW. There is nothing illegal or shifty here. These aircraft wouldn't be here if it was illegal. Anyway, "keep up the good wor...

Depends on who you choose to believe. Some, from Gilles camp, will say they are fake. Some, like myself, will say there is more hiring starting in the new year. Believe who you will... Think for yourself.

Fake ads??? Really??

An employer can require that new hires have an education. Or are you now against those rights now too? I could list hundreds of employers that require university.

Thanks fleet police!



What a waste of time. Do you think you're exposing or uncovering some big secret?

Anyone have details on the Rouge AC down in MBJ that is now a write off? Heard it flew into a thunderstorm and buckled in multiple areas.

Rudder,
Read my post again. I don't think you got it. Gilles has Failed in shutting SW down which is his true goal and motivation.

What charges or fines have ever been imposed on SW?!? You keep saying illegal, just spinning more BS eh Gilles. Despite your best efforts SW isn't going anywhere, more hotels are being purchased and built another 4 brand new plans are on the way, more winter and summer flying planned for next year.....

"Transat values diversity in the workplace and is committed to employment equity by encouraging applications from the following designated groups: women, aboriginal peoples, persons with disabilities and members of visible minorities.

They're all jealous. They wish they worked for one of the fastest growing most profitable companies in Canada. I love the comments from Timel, "cut market prices" what a joke. My guess is you work for a company that uses wide bodies on a narrow body route. Just because your management group is inept...

I love how people like Timel and Tincan slam OPEC without any knowledge on the subject. Tincan is correct that US carriers cannot do point to point within Canada and that's of course the same Canadian carriers in the US. They can however do what SW is doing and fly pax to a third party country, the ...

Obviously it's leagal or it wouldn't happen. What, do you think you've uncovered some big conspiracy here on AvCanada that TC and the FAA don't know about?!? Come on people, think!

So by your logic a pilot who contracts him self out to and operator for three months, has no benefits and has to remit his own cpp etc. can't be checked by the companies ACP because he's not an employee? Any pilot who is going to fly an operators A/C can be checked by an ACP, regardless of their wor...

Gilles tries again in this thread. He clearly does not understand the concept of contracted foreign workers. They are not SW employees. SW, TC, Lawyers and the CTA understand but not Gilles. Or maybe all of them are wrong and Gilles is right? Either he's continuing to twist things around to suit his...

Again you clearly don't understand that contracted foreign workers are not employees or you're simply twisting things around again to suit your position. Sad........

You need to understand the difference between a contract employee and an employee. You clearly don't. TFW are contracted out to SW through their employer. They then do work for SW but are not employees. It's so simple yet you continue to twist it around to support you anti SW position. Funny how you...

Foreign Workers are not SW employees.
