Next target should be the local council reps. It is about accountability. And agenda item 1 should be investigating the closure of the YWG council. Article III - Section 10 of the ALPA Constitution allows for dissolution of a local council by the Master Executive Council. The YWG pilots can be anne...

Again, more insults from the peanut gallery and angry criticisms of the contract. With no mention as to why a recall would benefit the membership. Since it doesn't sound like you're capable of coming up with anything remotely constructive allow me to suggest the following. Instead of playing divisiv...

First of all, the road to hell is paved with good intentions. Second, what exactly did they do a tremendous job on? Because this contract is a tremendous pile of shit. You must be new here. Is your ATPL still wet? 24 months ago we were working under a dismal 10 year agreement that neither delivered...

This Chair and MEC have zero legitimacy after the TA sell job and "I'll quit" threats. Are these losers who threw in the towel at the critical moment really the people you want representing you in the next round of negots? Why would anyone believe anything they say? - "world class contract," "strik...

Ask anyone pushing for a recall what they hope to accomplish? I've yet to hear a constructive argument for doing so.

Lots of bluster from ignorant keyboard warriors on here. This "turd deal" just so happens to be the largest collective agreement (per capita) in Canadian history, with a top to bottom 42% raise! Who else in Canada is seeing raises like that? Did we get everything we wanted? No. Were we able to fix 2...

Some excellent posts by Altiplano and CdnAvater, they know whats up. No one likes big bad AC or their greedy executives, but they're a known entity. The real villain here is the Government and their long history of intervention, both direct and subtle. The Teamsters at CN/CP were literally railroade...

Actually they have a valid excuse to not tip now. We lost our gratuity allowance. You didn't lose it, that amount was rolled into the new TAFB per diem system. Which overall is a 30% increase over the old system (tax fee). “Rolled into” is another way of saying “used to finance the new increase” It...

The obvious reason that any WJ pilot would be a cheerleader for this agreement is the ability to use the (top scale) pay rates and pension contribution rates for benchmarking purposes when their own CBA opens. WJ pilots already have QOL. You won’t see them asking for AC work rules or scheduling rul...

I'm just here to say "I told ya so" to all the No voters should this TA fail and we invariably get a worse deal 6-12 months down the road.

That would mean being proactive, which is not how we like to do things here! No! This airline likes to operate at the low end of the Threat Error Management pyramid. Reacting to errors and occasionally finding themselves in UAS (Undesirable Airline State). They're too busy trying to solve yesterday'...

Some people just want to watch the world burn I guess! Fanblade is correct, job action during the summer was never an option. We could have been on the picket line today, with zero improvements to our contractual language, narrowly arguing over pay improvements. Or employ mediation to (hopefully) se...

Let me start by saying there are lots of great controllers out there, and I sincerely appreciate all the work you do. So I'm not trying to pick on anyone in particular but I'd like to get a better understanding as to why service has deteriorated so much post covid? For example.. Numerous times headi...

And don't forget to cash in those shine points! I have a couple of prepaid visas sitting on top of my fridge just waiting to buy gas and groceries during the strike. Couldn't think of a better use of Mike Rousseau's "good will". He seems issue 50K points quarterly ($500) so planning on getting 1-2 m...

Of course it depends on snow conditions and temperature but generally speaking skis will freeze in place if given enough time. To break the bond between ski and snow use a strong mallet and block of wood. Place the block along the ski edge to dull the mallet blows. Give it some good blows to knock t...

Don't let the prospect of headwinds deter you from reaching the destination. We will get there. US pilots didn't achieve these record contracts overnight. They fought for them over the course of 10+ years, little by little, through good times and bad. The UAW just broke the shackles of Regan era uni...

Conair is about to cash in on MASSIVE investments made over the past few years. Mostly in fleet renewal(R&D), contract acquisition and training facilities but also in the boring stuff like SMS, SOPs and HR. Getting in today will put you at the front of the next wave. Here is a recent article featur...

Unionism 101: if your leadership is "neutral" on anything it means it's a shit deal!!!

You guys are a JOKE!

My post had a grammatical error but it still stands. You admitted in your very last post that it will "slow the bleeding". No sense arguing over it now. Enjoy your miniscule pay bump.

I’m going to be a realist and say it will slow the bleeding, There it is. After all your numerous posts denying it will have any effect, you finally admit this agreement will help the Corp a good deal. As everyone else is pointing out, Jazz pilots hold all the leverage, and here they are throwing i...

Lets see, Jazz pilots leaving every day, numerous cancellations, and more and more "network restructuring" both at Jazz and AC... Jazz pilots have all the leverage they just don't know how to employ it. Jazz MEC did what they could bargaining outside the CA but all they got were table scraps. Compan...

Fantastic! YWG pilots will get proper representation and the MEC can move forward with confidence knowing the last direct link to Flt Ops has been severed.

Onwards and upwards!

So will the 300G be STOL certified? I believe the 400 series was not.

What are the minimum temps for the digital avionics? Are you able to fire up the engines without having to preheat the avionics first?

To all those ALPA haters over the past six years, both at WJ and AC, I just wanted to politely say EAT SH*T! I'm so sick and tired of hearing all the whining "wHaT hAs ALPA DOnE FoR WJ PilOts?", as though any of these clowns spouting this drivel have EVER done ANYTHING for the profession. WJ launche...
