11-13 years... ?? That's insane. Are you serious ? Where did you get that from ? It’s not accurate but Its from assuming no growth and ~125 mandatory retirements a year for the next 12 years.

You wont know what metal youll fly until end of week 2 of GS. 2-3 year upgrades are gone. Youre looking 11-13 years at the current moment. 11-13 years... ?? That's insane. Are you serious ?

The commuted value is punitive though if you leave AC early though.
Right now my commuted value if I quit and went somewhere else is significantly less than what I have paid into it and doesn’t account for the companies contribution at all.

2016-2020 was aviations second golden age and they didn’t need to layoff. 2020-2022 they had almost 100% layoffs due to covid followed by the post covid travel boom. This is just a return to mean. Once Trudeau wipes TRZs debt I’m sure everyone will be recalled. If it ain’t Trudeau it’ll be Quebec. ...

Just turning up the heat on the government to get moving on those leeff loans!
With the stroke of the pen Transat will go from life support to having the strongest balance sheet in Canada or maybe even North America!

Flat pay in 2003 was $3751.87 a month in year 1 and 4262 a month in year 2
RP was $4577 in year 3

A merger with AC wouldn’t even be the end of the world that it looked like before Covid. When the merger was announced AC had 3600 pilots. A percentage based merger would place transats 50% guy hired in 2008 with ACs 1997 hires. Now that AC has grown 2000 pilots and retired the top quarter of the li...

I agree whole heartedly. The liberals have shown time and time again with WE, Aga Kahn, SNC, Arrive Can, green slush fund etc that they have absolutely zero qualms about stealing tax payer funds to enrich their friends. Somehow, in defiance of basic logic some people in this thread now think that no...

No one is arguing that free money wouldn’t have helped Transat but all those airlines you list were major flag carriers and Transat was a small money losing sun n fun before COVID and when it came time for the government to pick winners and losers in Europe there is no guarantee that’s Transat would...

I bet Onex and others are sniffing around, but there won't be much interest with those debt levels Onex won’t be buying Transat. Debt sheet is ridiculous But I have been wrong in the past My gut says that they will go through the CCAA carwash and get the balance sheet under control and it will make...

Nope I don’t work for TRZ. I’m just realistic about their future. It doesn’t make sense to turn out the lights there for the sake of the LEEFF loans, trz has no assets, a 65 million dollar market cap, a bunch of expensive leases for gliders. The Canadian tax payer isn’t getting any of that money bac...

If it wasn’t for the debt servicing cost on the federal loan money transit would’ve been in the green in the third quarter in the event of a bankruptcy that will be the first debt wiped from the books Oh well, what’s another billion to the tax payer, drop in the bucket! Can we refer to Transat as a...

Some of us have been dancing on Transats grave so long our legs are tired. Transat will be 100% fine. There will be a quick trip through the CCAA car wash and transit will come out the other side competitive again. I would hate to be the shareholder right now, but if I was an employee, I probably wo...

Question for all you edjumacated people out there. I'm looking for a good case study on a collapsing/failed airline to read. Preferably one that goes into the nitty gritty of everything leading up to it's ultimate demise. The longer and more detailed the better. Suggestions? https://www.theglobeand...

Murray has bigger fish to fry than threatening regional new hires.

Top guys on all the fleets probably get 80% of what they want.
After that guys can really only hope for the days off they want.

Ha hahahahahahhahahahahahahhahaha. Satisfaction? The wide bodies have no cap on days worked. Some guys do 8 days a month and some guys do 21 days a month. Generally all but the top third are unhappy in one way or any other. The narrow body is worse. Let me introduce you to the concept of of “unstack...

But that would only allow a professional pilot to fly past 65 on commercial flights in the USA. ICAO has been for raised retirement age for years. The only obstacle has been the Americans who hold a veto. Fly to 67 will be here shortly but I don’t know how much it will help as most people seem to b...

Stop flying on your days off. The MEC is waiting to answer the phone, you shouldn’t be.

Now thats funny! I bet that willing to fly list is about as long as the roster itself.

Judging by this weekends staffing shit show in YYZ you are wrong.

They belong to a grain family. I tried to PM you but couldn’t. Tried to PM you also Sharklasers but it looks like you have something disabled in the PM’s. Would also appreciate more info if you have and can send PM’s out eventually, thanks! I don’t think you have enough posts to send or receive PMs
