Re: Ready To Strike

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...

Re: Winter ski operating temps

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...

Re: Timing the cycle

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...

Re: Conair Career...it's a good time to get on.

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.

Re: The "Yes" side will be full of regret

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.

Re: The "Yes" side will be full of regret

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...

Re: So Jazz pilots will go from the lowest paid to the lowest paid?

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.

Re: DHC announces DHC-6-300G

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?

Very senior. Most junior FO is 4+ years by the looks of it. Which essentially means all the FO's in YWG could hold left seat on a NB in any other base.

Another brilliant first post from an ACPA dinosaur/management wannabe. Make being an elected ACPA rep a respected position again, make it more lucrative than being a manager .
