Ridersrule friggen awesome man. Keep it up.

Things that don't add up: Saying our pilot costs will take away most of our profit. AC's pilot costs are higher than WJ and yet they are profitable. (And could have investment grade corporate rating soon) Here's another one: "he with the lowest costs wins". And yet AC is applying tactics to have low...

Weed, I will accept you partly answered the question. But then you went off on a rant or a tangent about unions! (Boring) Then you cut and paste huge swaths of old drivel that doesn't interest me and is not relevant. (Polluting the forum) Finally you try to name names. (Desperation -pathetic really)...

Awe weed are you upset? Calling people names now :-( and at that such a witty insult! About as bright as the guy that calls Steve Martin "big nose" in that movie Roxanne. Now at this point I have to formally caution you that abusive name calling is unacceptable. Name calling is a former of bullying....

Here is Bede's question. Now read it carefully. And once you understand it, please answer in English. Hi John, I respect your loyalty but I'd like your opinion on the latest info. According to the recent meetings, the company is proposing reserve, 19 days work, no OT until 87.5hrs. This would mean t...

I do know that when ALPA was formed, the constitution prevented non-whites and women from being members, so it wouldn’t surprise me if a “scab list” was maintained. I’m not a scab (yet), but I do identify as one. If you're going to bring up such things then let's start talking about all the statues...

Hey Bede. ..

See nothing but crickets. Pathetic.



Come on weed pro. Answer Bede's question.

There is only one way to stand up to a bully. This bully is threatening our careers. This bully has already hired OTS pilots. This bully has set a date of first flight. This bully has no interest in integrity. This bully is blinded by ego, power and the desire to be in control. This bully will gladl...

Reality, I have no doubt you are a master of CASM, RASM, trip cost, city pairs, high A/C utilization etc. Hats off to you and further I respect your strengths. All these things are irrelevant if the airline isn't flying. Off the street hiring of Swoop pilots is a BETRAYAL to loyal, hardworking WJ pi...

C3 did NOT fail due to pilot wages. Skyservice did NOT fail due to pilot wages. Zoom did NOT fail due to pilot wages. Canadian did NOT fail due to pilot wages. Can Jet did NOT fail due to pilot wages. Jets go did NOT fail due to pilot wages. (ML made $4.5m in training bond cheques at $25k a pop.) Na...

Thanks for sharing. Very relevant today WRT WJ/Swoop. Perhaps you could share in WJ area. This is something all WJ pilots need to see. Using this guy's thesis CB is certainly the one individual wishing to maintain control while JS is the union buster. Wonder if he is a "consultant" or part of the te...

So the overseas (ex C3 etc) should have the right to take these jobs? You forget many ex C3 (etc) are already here at WJ. You forget that Swoop flying is already being done by WJ pilots. (YHM YXX etc) You advocate WJ pilots taking the flying at a reduced rate yet the 3rd year FO rate has been blown ...

The bad name belongs to anyone who dares take a job there knowing full well these are our airplanes. I had the qualifications, did the interview and was selected. I passed the ride, line indoctrination and have been a reliable, safe and very hard working person. Swoop airplanes are currently bring f...

For the people that say pilots should be able to take these left seat Swoop jobs off the street. Seriously, using your logic why not apply to AC direct entry left seat on the 319, 67, heck you deserve left seat 787.

What do you care about the 1000's of pilots already there?

Hey troll,

SW makes FAR more then just those hourly rates.

NCP said: "...There is only one path forward that will get those career expectations back on track. Resign your membership from ALPA. Be ready to sign the decertification card when it is offered to you. Regain the collaborative relationship that the WJPA had with the principals at WJ..." And you can...

NCP said: "....the truth is that I just don't trust what people tell me. Especially from partisan supporters, but more generally I just don't trust people. They lie. You lie. I lie. ....." This is an example of psychology 101. In your mind others think just as you do. A person doesn't trust other pe...

Hey Telex, Your company wants to hire me to take your job. They are offering me less then your pay but I'll take it. If you are an FO with 8 years in and just about to upgrade "too bad so sad" because I'm going take take your left seat. If you don't don't understand this I hear they are auditioning ...

Canadian, AC and WJ were DIFFERENT COMPANIES. Canadian didn't own WJ. AC didn't own WJ. WJ OWNS Swoop. One more thing Dadiem, if you just wait a few months you'll get a way better job because if no one applies WJ will have to actually use its pilots and will then be hiring. Now if you just want to ...
