Best answer in the entire thread!

How about "Prime Minister"?

Your insults belie the typical self aggrandising, impertinent attitude of your neo-conservative heroes.

Delusional !

Perhaps there is a better way to illustrate the point. Deferred benefit systems are just that. A "system" made up of many elements, of which mandatory retirement is only one. The elements of the system work together for an objective. The objective is specifically higher pension income. The system i...

If it's the same incompetent that's been advising ACPA since it's inception, that can only work to the advantage of the FlyPast60 crowd.

What about the right to retire in dignity? Finally after your 300 or so :wink: posts on this subject, you have touched on something rarely discussed. Retiring with dignity. After XX years working for this airline I was unceremoniously met at the door by a supervisor I didn't know, handed a picture ...

When are the multitude of retired Air Canada pilots going to be given access?

Individuals don't "join" a union, it is forced condition of employment along with the collective agreement that comes with it.

The only choice an individual has is to turn down the job in the first place.

The irony here is not that you are using the charter in an attempt to change the laws regarding mandatory retirement at the federal level. The irony is that you are attempting to use the charter to take from one age group, and give to another age group, on the basis that to not do so, is ageism. :r...

For all practical purposes, yes. Although they can still be Captains, they cannot be pilots-in-command of flights operating in airspace of any country other than Canada, including overflight. It has been so many years since WestJet and Jazz changed to past 60, following all the other carriers in th...

This might be a stupid question........So how can it be considered discrimination if its what the majority of the pilot group voted? Mr Wyndham, I assume your an AC pilot otherwise why would you be asking. After 7 years of litigation, countless millions spent on lawyers and literally thousands upon...

I guarantee you if you show up with even a hint of the above "attitude" you will not get hired.

Are you really trying to make a point over the lack of one word? I don't have to be a lawyer to expect accurate public statements from my elected represenatives. The assertion goes straight to the union's credibility. He is openly stating that over 80% of the pilots polled favour maintaining "manda...

Do the hiring folks at AC really troll these forums on the lookout for "in your face pro-union" types?? And would my avatar really jeopardize the entire Jazz group's chances at getting called??

EC

Why take the chance?

When did they call you, and what kind of experience/TT do you have? If you are really interested in working for Air Canada, the first thing you should do is maybe change your Avatar before you prejudice the entire Jazz group's chances. If I was doing the hiring :idea: , the last thing I would do is...

That is so right on the money. Congratulations to whom ever made it.

It should be sent to every pilot at ACPA to show them how pathetic they have become.

All initial ground school training is done in YYZ.

When the simulator phase begins, you may do some in YVR depending on which aircraft you are assigned to, but the majority of Sim is done in YYZ as well.

Imagine what benefit you could negotiate if you put the pension on the table? Unbelievable. The company will eat you alive lock stock & barrel. They salivate at the thought of a union " putting their pension on the table " I think there was some chlorine in Jacques gene pool. OMG !! Talk about biti...

ACPA's chicken's will soon come home to rest, but instead of the hoped for spreading of wings they will all be DEEP FRIED.

Hope that clarifies things for you! Now here's a question for you.. As nit picky as it may be. Are you taught to say 'brakes set' when you want us to set the brakes? Because most ppl say that, whereas it seems to me that the proper verbage would be 'set brakes'. I've often scratched my head over th...

Has your union undertaken any such work? When this issue first surfaced ACPA commissioned a former MEC Chairman to do a detailed study and report . The study revealed there would be minimum impact on the pilots and our contract provisions. Guess What ? ACPA kept the results secret as the results we...
