Re: WestJet Group Hiring Freeze

How does the recall work? If you are laidoff as a year 6 wsj mainline yyc fo, when they call you back for a q4 fo yyz spot, do you have to take it? Big spread of pay and lifestyle if you ask me...Guessing wj mainline guys would love to see that PTA gone now.. You are only called back to a position ...

Re: WestJet Group Hiring Freeze

I think that might be backwards from what I heard. 1700 was the largest layoffs number and 530 was the lowest lay-off number. Either way it’s the same amount roughly given the 2300 total. Maybe I’ve got it backwards. Like you say though no information given until this later this week. We need to see...

Re: WestJet Group Hiring Freeze

2300 total

1700 is doing nothing and leaving 77.5 mmg 530 is extreme measures which we have not seen.

Re: SWOOP OTS Captains punted from left seat...

You cannot hold a acp or B check position as a first officer so the company will have to have mainline trainers come over and do it. There are several Ex acp pilots at encore and westjet transitioning to swoop who will gladly step up to be acps at swoop. We will be just fine thanks. In honesty I tha...

Re: WestJet pilots to fly Swoop aircraft

yes the days of $400k t4s are coming to an end once the reserve thing takes hold and while I do agree it won’t be a switch thrown overnight, it will be happening. Westjet applied for formal yesterday which is no shock but we also have a delay now but we have an agreement in 2018 now by December 31st...

Re: WestJet pilots to fly Swoop aircraft

Your correct. But the company would have to apply first which would probably happen on the 7th then Kaplan decides ya or nay. Then company can appeal if Kaplan denies it. More time goes by. Well shall see this weekend how it goes. This formal process is foreign to me except what Alpa mec has said wh...

Re: ULP from CUPE

I’m loathe to start another thread on CUPE so I’ll just append this gem here. CUPE, in its collectivist wisdom chose to announce a card count mere days ahead of the signing of an MOA for the FAs that would have improved several areas for them. Now, with the card count in place, and should it be suc...

Re: How did it work out?

I heard it was 10 first officers from encore took the 10 yhm spots but I’m not sure. I as well as my boy KAG have moved past the 30 and I accept whatever decision Kaplan brings forth whichever way it goes. I feel way better not caring at all about them personally to be honest. Best just move on to b...

Re: The End of the WPDL Confirmed

Happy to hear that we'll be getting some experienced guys as new captains. We can use the help and it will make the training and the upgrades much easier if we have guys that know the operation and the 737. I can't speak for everyone but I'm personally not fussed where I sit on the whole seniority ...

Re: The End of the WPDL Confirmed

I can assure you it’s not considered a win. This is damage control. Remember we had an agreement that clearly stated westjet flying done by westjet pilots. Totally ignored by management. Then we get job postings going public to OTS. Another non agreed to and a union circumventing action plan. Now fa...

Re: The End of the WPDL Confirmed

Ghandi, It's time to go on another salt march. Encore guys just got an email to bid on the remaining swoop positions as well as WJ ground schools. How about you start working with your colleagues instead of trying to sabotage the rest of us. Awesome news... this is all playing out the way it should...

Re: WestJet pilots to fly Swoop aircraft

Ya thats the real problem now. What the company has done to encore pilots. It’s fine for us to fight over 26 seats but your right... 100% right encore pilots must feel left behind. It’s hard to believe that we have come to this place in the road. All 100% avoidable.. all 100% westjet Corp driven. I ...

Re: WestJet pilots to fly Swoop aircraft

This wasn’t a win for swoop pilots.. go and read the interim order again it’s clear your here only until your fate is determined at a later date. You are redundant swoopsters never forget that as are we and that’s been proven time and time again. If you think the company will pay bypass pay to 1000 ...

Re: WestJet pilots to fly Swoop aircraft

Swoop guys finishing their course this week are not going anywhere. Management has already told them they are staying. Apparently they got the go ahead from their lawyers to keep the current pilots hired. They will most likely have to join the union. I agree most likely they will stay but has nothi...

Re: WestJet pilots to fly Swoop aircraft

So will Swoop flying be done by Westjet pilots or not? Now I'm confused. Did they really mean Swoop pilots will become Westjet pilots? If they stay after arbitration the swoop pilots will be given a date of hire on Westjet seniority list of June 22nd. So yes they will be WestJet pilots if they stay...
