Re: Why YVR was Built
If Charles Lindbergh were alive today, he would undoubtedly get a flow into YVR.

Re: More WJ layoffs
The comment regarding more commuters (and childcare) isn’t entirely true. There will simply be “new” commuters as previous pilots that chose to commute will be going back to a base that is also their domicile (not commuting for an FO spot) Most of the new commuters will be older and their kids are o...

Re: 79 Airplanes Retired
On the call today it was stated that AC has access to just over $6 Billion.
They gave a few different #s for cash burn but $20 Million was the median.
6 billion/ 20 million per day = 300 days of cash to operate.

Re: Pension
Are new hires on a Target Benefit style pension? DC Pension? DB pension?
I heard recently that everyone is back on the DB. Any truth to this?

Re: Are things now better for WJ pilots?
Who wants to be forced to take a job at Encore (if laid off)? That’s a prime opportunity to pick up a lucrative contract or go back to the bush for a season or travel.
If the next iteration of the one list forces me to fly a Q, I’ll vote no to that.
What a mess

Re: One list
Nicely stated Mr North. Let's not forget that WJ pilots wanted one list when they gave consent for the creation of Encore. More recently while surveying for the contract negots, the question of one-list was posed again (with 90% support). I wonder who those 10% were? What has changed since then? Not...

Re: Record revenues vs 4 year flat pay
You’re a pilot, not a CEO (or C anything for that matter)
Get over it, go fly a plane somewhere.

Congrats to Tech Ops. I wish the pilots could’ve voted 93% in favour of something (aside from a strike mandate)

Re: Why does anyone want to work at WestJet?
I am not surprised to hear of WJA pilots applying elsewhere, as you said, many think the grass is greener on the other side. Some will find success, others will wish they had stayed. Eg The 4 WJ FO that is hired Jan 2019 will do well at AT, the same 4 year FO that is hire #100 at AT will wish he/she...

Re: Why does anyone want to work at WestJet?
WJA doesn’t have a pilot retention/hiring problem yet. Time will tell if that that changes in the coming months. Any pilot hiring problem will manifest itself at WJE and WJ Link well before WJA. WJ is well known for keeping costs as low as possible on all levels. This latest contract, like all previ...

Re: 1st WestJet 787 off the Production Line
That’s the way it’s going HughJass, pretty normal.
I think we even have a senior 737 CA going 87 FO.
Another interesting tidbit is that all 787 pilots will be YYC based (regardless of where the plane, flying, or FAs are based)

Too bad for the 1900. It’s been ripping around the taxiways in YYZ for years.
