Ah!!!The magic of numbers interpretation. We could say in the last 10 years over 1000 pilots retired at AC but only less then 150 complain about forced retirement which mean only 15% dissaprove the present system.

Hiring rumors so i think we are getting close to contract negots time...

"Results are in: 90.6% of the eligible pilots voted with 98.73% voting in FAVOUR of a strike"

Congratulation first on voter turnout which is excellent.

If management do not get this clear message then they should be replace.

You guys are all on the same page, great show of unity.

Good luck.

Prop2jets: ''I suggest you take some time and watch the Frontline documentary that outlined many issues faced by regional pilots south of the border'' I did watch the program. The worst case of 'abuse' is the ridiculous low pay new hired FO in the US have to start up at (pay 21-25/h X70= X12= 17500-...

Captn Flex, are you saying because the U.S. regionals pay crap its justified? Or are you saying that you think the current pay scale is good? Merlin what i am saying is look aroud what the competition is paying as you do compete on many transborder routes with those US regional airlines. I do not k...

Prop2jet: ''The current cash distribution is $0.60/unit on an annual basis and JR has said he wants this to continue as they convert to a corporation later this year. One of the most profitable airlines in history, Southwest currently pays a dividend of $0.02 / share.'' Don't you think those numbers...

Merlin i just compare the pay scale of Jazz vs the major US regional flying CRJ and Dash8 and the are in the top tier.

So are they asking for across the board pay raise or what?

Thanks Teacher for the explanation. Many made a career choice to fly at Jazz. It is a personnal choice and i respect it. You now have a status pay system that allow the choice of working conditions whitout having to compromise your pay. You have a good contract (with reserve rules better than those ...

Teacher: What is a "career contract"?

En fait c'est un film par l'AIM (syndicat des mecanos) expliquant le transfert de travail (inspection des avions d'Air Canada) qui se poursuit avec AVEO vers l'Amerique central. La perte d'emploies bien paye au Canada ou les travailleurs payent des taxes, une perte pour la collectivite. Un bel examp...

Pilotbzh, check your source BA pays long haul (747+777) pilots about 17% more than short haul (320+737).
But junior sh Ca alway earn more than senior lh FO.

Derniere nouvelle...
LATEST COURSE OF NEW HIRE PILOTS ( Janvier 2006). THESE 18 PILOTS ARE EXPECTED TO BE THE FIRST OF APPROXIMATELY 240 PILOTS TO BE HIRED THIS YEAR

I presume many 320 FO are holding off for the big bid... (upbid now and you are frozen for 30 months). So yes the EMJ Ca will stay junior for a while. OMO

If you poll Jazz pilots on how much they are the willing to give up to save the mainline pilots job you will most likely get the same results as polling the mainline pilots to how much they are willing to give up to save the Jazz pilots jobs.

Sad reality

[quote]Considering that we all took paycuts and quite a few were laid off (myself included) to keep the company afloat, it is a pretty sad pace.[quote]

We all took pay cuts to save our own jobs either at AC or Jazz.

Une autre classe de 16 pilotes pour Janvier 2006, prevision de 200 en 2006 et 200 en 2007.
