Somewhat arrogant comment of you. That statement alone shows you have no idea of what was happening behind the scenes.

Encore was not started to take over flying already being flown by pilots at Westjet. Pretty simple

Weedpro has already responded to that post on Yammer. 800 "likes" and then his response. Don't waste your time. It was an amazing post on what's happened to this company.

Hey JS. You may want to get your facts straight regarding the negotiating committee. It appears you don't know what you don't know. Yvr LEC have nothing to do with negotiating.

Re: Everyday at WJ : union busting

With reference to an RNP approach, it’s easier rather than harder than an NDB approach, so let’s call that one a win for the pilots. Yup. Sure. Just like all those RNP short gate approaches guys are doing info Yyc...... to the wrong parallel runway. There is much more programming to get to the RNP a...

Oh I forgot to add one more very important item. Some of the people we have had to fly with for multiple days makes the job very challenging.

Re: Everyday at WJ : union busting

In other words, and without wanting to sound contrite, the job of flying a 737 around North America hasn't changed much. It carries the same level of technical expertise and responsibility as it always has. I will need to disagree with this comment. When I started with WS we never went East of ywg. ...

Nicely said. I am a yes. Voting yes to a strike does not necessarily mean we will be standing around the barrels, burning pallets. Lots of tools in the box to use long before it gets to walking out. Nobody wants that.

Re: Separate forum for Swoop <please>

So again NCP

Today, January 31, a memo was released publicly giving WS pilots a 2 year leave. So you have been given permission to "Swoop" on over to swoop. Will you finally put up, or will you finally shut up? You asked for a leave. You got one. Enjoy the ULCC

If people don't want to work at Swoop, don't go to work at Swoop. This is basic economics and the right of citizens of a free society.

You never responded to my post wrt getting a LOA to go help start swoop. You stated earlier that you would like to be part of the start up ( or at the very least buy the swoop pilot a coffee). Have you changed your mind now?

Hey wing nut, It was just brought to my attention that JA has been offering a 2 year LOA for pilots wishing to go help start Swoop. I understand you have said you would love to go and help out with the launch. Well, here is your chance. I'm sure they will even start you off at the coveted "step 3". ...
