Re: Flair Suspending Growth Plans amid Delivery Delays and Debt

I’m 99% sure we don’t use Sabre or Radixx, ours is processed through Amelia. Your numbers, below, illustrate in perfect clarity why pilots should fly, and leave the bookkeeping tasks, to bookkeepers. I won’t say everything is fine but I will say you should shut your yap when spouting off on topics y...

Re: Are we in a Business Model Transition?

I agree, entirely. It’s time for Steven Jones to pack up and set sail back to NZ, and take Eric Tanner with him. Get back to our core routes, and resist the temptation to reinvent the damn wheel.

Re: TA Passed

Man you guys are so out of touch to reality like its not even funny. Can someone post that pay-scale picture that encompasses all airlines? Pay levels are within single-digit percentage of Air Canada's narrow body scale. -- DO YOU REALIZE THAT AC PAY SCALES ARE NOT INDUSTRY STANDARD?! Do you honestl...

Re: Foreign DEC

Tell me you know nothing about negotiations without saying you know nothing about negotiations? The only question right now is this. Will Flair put enough good faith forward to skip the need for mediation? And that’s really 2 parts, the 2nd part being do they believe strongly enough in the business ...

Re: Commuting

If you have a job, I wouldn’t leave it to commute at Flair. Obviously a different story if you don’t have a job, gotta do what you gotta do then. You will lose most of your time off due to commuting, that is a fact. With more bases being talked about constantly, wait until there’s one near you. Just...

Re: CTA launches formal probe into Flair

Some emotional arguments ostensibly from Flair crowd which is understandable, but in final analysis none of it matters. Imagine if it were United pumping billions into Air Canada, and controlling its board, you will likely feel differently. The issue is control of the airline and its board, not wha...

Anybody’s guess to some degree. There are min requirements and a matrix that takes into account various possibilities regarding your time.

Certainly quicker than wja though.

Re: Hiring- B737 FO's CYYZ & CYVR/CYXX

YYZ has more flying and, apparently, will grow a lot this spring and summer. Right now there are day turns , YYZ-YVR-YYZ, which are popular, and two day pairing with overnights in YVR and YYC. The long day turns are popular since 8 or 9 of those and you have hit your max hours. The max they can sch...

Re: Lots of new routes to the US

The 737 400s In YLW no longer belong to Flair they have been returned to KFC. But that being said Current pilots are looking for options elsewhere. No communication from mgmt and constant changes. Flair had its chance and is blowing it.

Re: FA STRIKE LOOMING?

FAs were offered nearly everything they wanted however the company wants to pay new hires market wages rather than 30% more than competitors. All current FAs will keep their current payscale and be grandfathered in. CUPE has a conflict of interest representing other FA groups and has made it politic...

Yes Unifor represents Morningstar, Sunwing, CargoJet, Perimeter, to name a few so It was a legit option to ALPA.

UNIFOR because ALPA did not seem to enthusiastic with such a small group. Busy with WestJet etc... and tincanflyer if the company can't treat employees with common decency and workable conditions then....so be it
