Tiny fraction of AC guys: Still don't care! Lose your houses before I drop 3 seniority numbers! At the beginning of all this, as an AC guy I wouldn't be over the moon about possibly losing a couple of months worth of seniority. But I probably wouldn't care too much. More important things to fill ou...

Scratching and clawing was inappropriate for that I apologize but the rest of my point and question stands. Its pretty clear to me that we will never see eye to eye on this. My concern is with preserving the careers of my colleagues and myself and yours is with you and your colleagues, a merger and ...

It is very clear that a combination means less jobs, what is so hard to understand about that. Don’t expect Air Canada employees to be happy to share that pain of lost transat positions. I want a serious straight faced answer as to why some Transat pilots expect the Air Canada pilots to happily sha...

The level of entitlement in this thread by some Transat guys boggles the mind. You speak from the position as though you look down on other pilots in the industry (proof is your 20% discount comment) .. so this comment has a particular irony to it. I speak from the position of an employed and worki...

At the press conference yesterday Legault said that the government will never let down Transat; they are monitoring the transaction closely and will always be there for Transat. https://www.journaldemontreal.com/2021/02/16/on-ne-laissera-pas-tomber-air-transat-promet-legault This sounds great.

Good, then let this be Quebec’s problem. As for Air Canada they, nor the rest of the country, care about the influence of the premier of Quebec. Why not just go with Peladeau’s offer then? It’s quebec-centric and the premier says he won’t let anything bad happen to Transat so there is no risk. AC i...

If Air Canada doesn't buy Air Transat, can both pilot groups elect to merge the lists anyways? I think this is a terrific idea and would go a long way towards pilot unity and lifting this industry up. If its for a job at AC We could go; 1.)AC pilots 2.)AC connector pilots in DOH seniority (because ...

The market didn’t appreciate that press release. Trz down almost 10% today

The europeans are the last best chance to save the careers of the 600 laid off AC pilots who will certainly suffer if 650 laid off transat pilots parachute in ahead of them.

Dont worry I dont think those guys and gals are getting their hopes up.

Any chance that Air Canada will reject some of those conditions? Seems pretty steep. Some are even head shaking. I would have to assume that these have already been agreed upon by AC otherwise why even approve the deal at all if you know they will just balk at it. I agree things like granting compe...

As long as an initial course is not required (In my company that's 2 years), A Max rated pilot, current or not, would likely require half the training (or less) than a non rated pilot. I would be surprised if Flair didn't consider that a major plus. For any half decent pilot, with a Max rating, &qu...

Another guy in a carbon emitting job that voted for the man that said he would go after carbon emitting areas of the economy and hung out with the 16 year old determined to kill aviation who takes a boat back and forth to Europe. What is it about people that whine and complain after voting themselv...

Highest paid AC line captain made 500k gross in 2018.

Yup. We will not tolerate anything less than at least years of service 1 to 1 for merge. CAIL pilots didn’t get years of service and that merger was far more “like for like”. You say you won’t tolerate anything less, so what’s your plan when the arbitrator rules against that? Will you quit? Because...

Will the resulting pay rate be lower than Rouge 767 pay rate? 90% of mainline hourly wages. No mention of nav or overseas pay so I assume it won’t be paid. So about 80% ish of mainline. But as stated better than Rouge 767 pay. Have you read the actual LOU yet? Nav and Overseas pay are addressed in ...

This is proof that the MEC can only negotiate and deliver $hit sandwiches to the Membership. You'd have to have self respect as a group to vote NO. We have none, so easy "yup" on the first draft. It will pass, with a WACON garrantee lower than CargoJet. Something like a 220 wage to fly a ...

AC says the offer didnt come from them. I guess you can put away the balloons.

Its probably a PE firm. Could get pretty bleak.
